| You need a war and so that we call to battle,
|
| you know, satan, she's always with me.
|
| If I could let you into my ribs,
|
| you would, scratching back, blind with fear, brother.
|
| There are your wives, mothers, daughters, sisters
|
| beds whisper to me - how sharp you are.
|
| I go to the podium over the corpses across the square,
|
| I cut you all out stupidly - it's easier that way.
|
| I am an occupier, I am a partisan, a soldier under oath,
|
| I am a self-proclaimed tyrant, chieftain with a gang.
|
| I dropped a bomb in the medical battalion - fly, landmine,
|
| on the bell tower beat the alarm Tambov, Donbass.
|
| Preventive sweeps, Makhno's carts,
|
| the execution goes according to the lists, Kolchak goes to the bottom.
|
| The winter road to the heart winds through the forest,
|
| I can't get warm - we're losing him.
|
| Rejoice like a child
|
| - only tears and bile
|
| Flying between the clouds
|
| - just cut and burn
|
| Just say "I'm sorry"
|
| - every word is a lie
|
| Just carry your cross
|
| - in each palm a knife
|
| Angel to help you
|
| - demons are my friends
|
| There's a family in heaven
|
| in prayer.
|
| The heavenly sower scatters seeds
|
| to call to himself all the earthly tribes.
|
| Laughing birds, the eye is a flame, the beak is a hunchback,
|
| never sleep from Sinai to the Carpathians.
|
| The sprout strangles the loach, embracing it carefully,
|
| the clumsy boulder does not give water,
|
| and fingers pull roots through empty eye sockets
|
| human laws, rules, principles.
|
| The rib of the rebel, the jaw of the king, the collarbone of the executioner -
|
| if collected, we get a giant-strongman.
|
| He will be above the clouds, but he will not see the light,
|
| his eyes are lifeless, like snow on the peaks.
|
| Look, on the skull of Adam, the blood of the last victim,
|
| look who was the last, still became the first.
|
| And now, with a leaf of tender seed, it pierced the sternum,
|
| and man became closer to heaven, closer than the peaks.
|
| Rejoice like a child
|
| - only tears and bile
|
| Flying between the clouds
|
| - just cut and burn
|
| Just say "I'm sorry"
|
| - every word is a lie
|
| Just carry your cross
|
| - in each palm a knife
|
| Angel to help you
|
| - demons are my friends
|
| There's a family in heaven
|
| in prayer.
|
| Angel to help you
|
| there's a family in heaven
|
| in prayer. |
