Lyrics by Alexey Pyshkin, music by Halter in cooperation with Marina Ignatovich from moscow band Lorelei

lyrics

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!!!!
