...of the Part of Nature

Lives In Isolated Cells…
Driving On Rigid Rails
Walking The Beaten Path
Passively Drifting With The Common Flow
But Mentally Free
Step Aside
Realize: You’re Just Part Of Nature
Running In An Empty Rat Race
Moving Things From Place To Place
Knocking At The Closed Back Doors
Rolling a Sisyphean Stone In Vain
Inwardly Free
Unbind All Ties
The Universe Is Waiting For Its Own
Find The Bottom In A Bottle Of Pain
In A Tomb Of Disappointment
Try To Breathe Out Stinking Puffs
Discovering Traces Of Self-Reproach
Escape From The Jail
Break All Your Shackles
View The Void Of Your Inner Desert
Break The Wall Of New Estrangements
Made Up Of Hostile Assessments
Not By The Hammer Of Sin
But With A Breeze Of Your Openness
With Open Eyes
With Wide Open Heart
Greet Your Own Death
As Attractive Experience

Hunters' Brotherhood
05:28
|
|||
|
Street robbers
Merciless violators
Murderers
Special punitive forces
Club members
Wolves! Not lambs
Hunting their prey
In different ways
Hunters indeed
Are of higher breed
Social elite
Always on lead
Kidnappers
Manic serial killers
Terrorists
Executioners
Excellent brand
All over the land
Powerful hand
No place for the bland
Top of the food chain
To discuss is in vain
Pleasure is pain
When the victim is slain

First Snow
10:36
|
|||
|
I dreamt I walked home
Yet somehow I never came near
My soul was tired of roaming
I was morally seared…
I walked through the city’s trash
Fierce dogs followed my steps
Snapping with horrid teeth
Biting the flap of my wraps
Next morn, the world was snowy
Birds abandoned their woods
Blackened were the rivers’ eyes
Wheels’ creaks could be heard from afar
It seems like heaven cries
Like premonition of a crash
All leaves are falling down
Nature’s face is getting pale
The first snow flake falls to the ground
It’s like the first snow falls

Pain Which Never Sleeps
07:42
|
|||
|
Losing a twenty-four-hour fight
I have no chance to control... going mad
I can’t think of anything except to hide
Fragments of thoughts are racing through my mind
Cannot resist no more. I'm giving in
Plunging into a gloomy state of mind
In which only bright fireflies gleam
But soon these biting sparks just make me blind
Suffering, in permanent and even increase
Do the part, preparing me for my decease
Make an overturn which will force to view
Death as a desired definitive release
Whoever said: "an intense pain cannot be long"
Whoever it was, he was wrong
To realize an agony’s depth
You must drown in it and float along
[Chorus:]
Pain which never sleeps. Never sleeps...
Gnaw as worm and rips... Strictly rips
Dope can ease this pain for a short time
But it never waits too long to start to climb
[Chorus 2:]
Almost at once it returns
Almost at once it returns
Almost at once it returns
Almost at once it returns
Dim finger prints on a steamed glass
First swig of beer... it's all in the past
My sodden boots and smell of rain
Small pleasures of life... it's all in the past
Yellow and red in a transparent air
In autumn streets... all has left
Wishes, attempts, disappointments and hopes
Ambitions and faith... all has left
Cannot resist no more. I'm giving in
Plunging into a gloomy state of mind
In which only bright fireflies gleam
But soon these biting sparks just make me blind
Suffering, in permanent and even increase
Do the part, preparing me for my decease
Make an overturn which will force to view
Death as a desired definitive release
All that I became is just an empty shell

5. |

|
The world is stumping like a dog brow-beaten
With a strict collar choked and wicked
Urging on by severe will
Hands of masters ever harder than steel
While their soldiers are marching on like zombies
They are counting the possible profits,
While the current operation proceeds -
They’re already planning their following deeds
They are the Keepers of Persistent War
Why don’t you see, motherfuckers?
Moistening your throat with mineral water
Сommand armies to fall to the slaughter
Pronounce inspired words -
“Bring peace with fire and sword!”
Never rotting alive in entrenchments
Heat the hearts with their own enchantment
To protect constitutional rights
Crush away every insurgent slut
They are the Keepers of Persistent War
Open your eyes, motherfuckers!

Ode To The Abandoned
12:20
|
|||
|
Fire
Is in one hand,
Water
Is in the other
Hold the fire back
For a more convenient time
Pour the water
Clean this loathsome grime
Quench this scorching spark of hope
That is burning me inside
Pour!!! Cool my heart
Now
Fire
Give
It to him
Who cannot in no way
To Warm himself
Like an unlucky wrecked on an icy shelf
Kindle in him the glow of feeling
Judge in equity
Love is the most effective remedy
Don't have it on your conscience
It must be unconscious
No matter how obnoxious
You know what it contains
Looking at your mirror - what do you see?
Just weariness
Curtain off your windows - lie to sleep
Boredom and tiredness
Leaves and soil
For those burned
To the ground
Favour him with calmness
For ever more
Heal his madness
Cure this horrible sore
Lay him sleep on the humid herbage
He will not congeal
Kill him! Kill!!!
Glory and wealth
For the gratified
Enjoy and take from being
Everything that is yours
Doubts... what may be worse?
Seek the profits, grab your winnings
The hearse’s far.
Reap, load your purse
Looking at your mirror - what do you see?
Just weariness
Curtain off your windows - lie to sleep
Boredom and tiredness
Looking at your mirror - what do you see?
Nothingness!!!!
