Fog Lights 01:57
We looked into the wide open sky window As often as at nights in August The stars reel When the sunset sunk tinged with colours of marengo and vanilla And the sky rumbled The droplets of the autumn rain made us smile We were in love But time went by Changing us beyond retrieve I remember my envy of the waves Of their innocent clarity I remember how surf kissed my feet I caught the lighthouse glance at the seaside And a few years later you, whose soul you filled with corrosive poison, found yourself sisters In a form of greed and anger That's how you became empty You will not see the glow of my lights in the fog You will just dissolve them with a grey haze of your hands I shall drop silently next to you Kneel to your legs, fall as the leaves fall in late autumn As a fading grizzle of the close forest But you will not see me anymore, covering my face with your palm The lights of the fogs will no longer disrupt my sleep Happy widows, you should not lie to yourselves and gather cries of soldiers Just be happy at the widow's comfort More and more rarely admit mistakes of others and yourself

I beg you Forgive me Please forgive me While my ship is burning down While I have enough strength to hold on stars Through covered eyes with hands I looking closely Please forgive me Broken mast Blanketed with water film Dashed with wind (Mayday!) Under duress of mistakes I slowly hit the bottom Mayday! Mayday! My doom! Mayday!Doom! Mayday! Mayday! My doom! When anchor's print was dissolving in fog I saw the beacon, beyond it was bounding by wave I'll find my calm in a purple horizon Spreading over the stone with bloody tracery Watch fire in the distance

Uninhabited beach fanned by the coolness I am finally in your captivity I am the prisoner of the island I walk I'm walking ripping off last clothes On the barely noticeable trail Through the thorns to your heart Last remains of strength and faith Losing hope for salvation Going down further Everything is bestrewn with snow Going down further behind Hardly hissing ice-cold breath behind Run! Run! Run! Twinkling fire appeared in the cave's den became my refuge I found myself in his lie, where I was making my way through the begging darkness Two glowing, intoxicating eyes sliding on my fear My sight turned to peacock and suddenly our eyes crossed I could not catch myself thinking when he belched a tiger out of him (And suddenly he vanished somewhere) I looked back in a second, full of fear, more and more quickly I run! Run! Run! But by some quirk of fate a stone appeared a in my way I fell, catching myself on a ledge Woke up sweating heavily on the bank Muffled up in sand and purple wave My dream

Empire 02:57
Would you cover with soil my cry? I saw the bells on my houses burning With my eyes Make me cry numb I saw the bells on my houses burning Ashfall fills eyelids When the time will become something real to you. Something real to you when her eyes will fix ghost porcelain eyes on you Rip roots of century trees out Forever burn down the oceans Breathe in their smoke In solitude of Siamese twins behold The empires so fragile, like you Make me cry numb I saw the bells on my houses burning With my eyes Meditate haze in distraction, hold in the hands Like the sand through fingers slips away You stay in vortex of art nouveau ruins, of fallen cities Illusion of the perfection, step aside Make the world better Nevermore cover your face with the palms, look through! Empires are not eternal and fragile like you

Like milk you sound The fragrant taste of rum is on the my lips And rough taste of your perfume Oh, could you wait forever And no one wait for you Till ever Thank you honey for that you left me so blind Till very end and I wish you The crimson glass of fire (And I wish) you enjoy You are imprisoned You wait and no one wait for you But step by step, breathe after breathe You slip off your cabin You set on fire dry wick One moment and the ship is burning So ironic and so silly Your bitchy smile Oh, irony is here right now Poison pours down from your malicious cheekbone Your fathomless eyes full of anger Your eyes full of anger that you crowned with weak You're watching my ship sinks Someone says catastrophy But nobody cares Irony is here right now Washed down with milk storm and swallow air Gone forever

My way is from east to west It always strewn with rum with blood Reaches of the heaven is my modest shelter And under foot are ocean's waves I'm a rebel I'm the hero in the pay of the king In the salad days I was full of courage I was ready to rout For good and in the name of master But day by day he was filled with dismay He was bewaring of mutiny. The governor decided set me to my last sail Lay down an aim to bring my long-time lady friend To the deserted island. Took away her last inhale Filled her lungs with sand out According to king's plan She must subdue me for the piece of money Subdue me among the fathomless depths of the sea For evermore send me to sleep along with the ship I realized menace before it Before it was too late Locked away that whore in cab In return were quarrels and cry As if it were the scream of nimble asp

Brighter than you I set on fire the stars Wiping the paint The paint along yellow leaves As if I fell I loosing now you and myself Burning and wrapping wrists in cold water I fall in my well faster than running time, faster than light Clinging to your words like to stone Clinging the darkness Letting go you Like a warm autumn wind Letting go you Like the last one gasp I'm ready to inhale cold sunrise of empty streets And as a punishment I will stay here with my own shadow And as a punishment I'm here Among the trees and the lakes I will stay forever Dissolve the star's mirror surface in me Brighter than you I set on fire the stars I'm inhale Cold sunrise Cold of empty streets With lead eyelids I feel like eclipse creeps?

And you swam as a leader From the bottom of the sea Towards the top Amongst the rocks, amongst the mist Splits in the rocks next to the shark shoal Towards the call of the sinking vessel He moved his hands Like petals of the fire Through the begging cries for help Through the cries An octopus appeared out of nowhere He noticed me and carried me with him away I grabbing onto the remaining of gold Gold and diamonds In depth ocean holds I felt how it's tentacles dance around my neck In the cries of hundreds of perished voices I fall in trap I'm in your steel trap, in your steel trap Grab my last breath go under Move to the bottom and I'm as a victim wonder In dead sailor's kingdom You descend to the bottom, as executioner (with the plunder) Where waltz the bones and remains of the seamen who sleep forever Sleep forever Of the seamen who sleep forever He moved his hands like petals of the fire Through the cries Through the begging cries for help Through the cries he carried me away I hug the shelf and sleep Drawing the trail behind me The shaped ledge of bubbles I sleep, silently soaking Into the darkness

With my every rebirth I shall Burn myself to ashes again and again To ashes I'll find one star That you'll like Among sixty eight, dispersed Along red wings Look how I blaze How rage i calming down I shall rise again and again With my every defeat and felt Completely, entirely I'll born wholly Rise on perfectly like sunrise regardless I'm weaker and weaker under the burden of my mistakes The owls flock cut the flame as if the sea Drawing the silhouettes like fiery pattern I'm weaker and weaker under the burden of my mistakes Under the weight of their bones Mantled with snakes (as if chains) I will rise from the ashes i will rise from the tears and joy, sorrows, regrets i will rise again I will rise from the ashes Nectar doesn't bring me pleasure among The magical tall woods I'll fly beneath the skies after the Sun I'll fall like a stone into boundless, bottomless abyss But i rise from ashes

Anchor Lung 03:15
By fate's mercy I broke free from water's captivity And rushed towards the light (Towards the call of the Sun, winged by the desire to live I saw the wooden columns On the horizon point beyond the haze Of the white sunset I swam through lumps of grey fog on the water Just clinging onto the waves as if they were rocks) I drifted day after night like a whirlpool Grasping the wrecks of the ship Scratching my feet against the coral reefs Tangled in rope and knots Accompanied by blind souls of mariners Give me the strength to reach you! My energy! My ocean (The emerald island is closer and closer Crushed against the cliff waves Brighter and brighter blooded fingers Felt the soil) I breathe in the warmth of heated sand Kneeling, with my head lowered to the shore

As if I was sleeping, as if it was in waking Fire winged Phoenix appeared to me It made a screaming cry And stow in flame remains of wood My island is burning Along with it myself is burning In sheet anchor I decided to talk to him While the Sun and the Moon were swapping over Hawking at each other Sometimes their games were covered over with rains All at once appeared from nowhere When history I carried through Steely glance I nestle in the sunset I was seized and carried to the heaven (From hunger and terrify) Blacking out the remains of confession I saw the skyline of whilom dear lands I smiled with melancholy For last time For last time I swept the firmament I was saved Was I really saved?
