1. His Death

Surrounding substances of life
Have perished in their mocking laughter.
A dancing image of a knife.
On tides of blood you'll float hereafter

A pallid hand with curdled blood,
A ghastly mortuary silence.
The last of all you've ever loved
Have rendered you this final guidance-

To faint away on fields of gray,
Let death awake remains of passions;
To smell the death but live a day
Before they burn you into ashes.

Your dirty blood now stains the soil
As you have stained her soul with tears.
Your death is born from midnight broil
With foul scream for none to hear...

A lady pale with lips of red
Who once had shared your dissipation.
You'd laugh recalling what she said.
You'd laugh refusing your salvation.

You can't recall her poems long
For bitter gin was all you fancied.
Your skill to fascinate them all
Have brought her love and brought you hatred.

An insincere roses smell
Will no more haunt your bedroom entrance.
No more a man– an empty shell.
Of death you bear an honest fragrance.

On tides of fate a grain of sand
You did your own death presage.
And in the night a killer's hand
Have brought the end. Have brought the end.

You sleep and dream an ailing dream
Of deeps of blue with ancient treasures.
The vices of your soul they keep
Well guarded by the fiends and devils.

The last euphoria will come
When sunset lits your hall with fire
And show a mortal soul undone
By constant flow of wild desires.

And into nowhere you will pass,
Will turn to soil and air and waters.
To fall as raindrops on the grass.
A victim of a bloody slaughter.

You'll be no more but substance fair
And vasts of time cognized appear
And ancient spaces you will dare
And music of the stars you'll hear
And wisdom of the world you'll share.

On tides of fate a grain of sand
You did your own death presage.
And in the night a killer's hand
Have brought the end. Have brought the end.

2. The Letter Of The End

What is here but darkness and dread
All around me and in my heart...
Before me blood of hundreds is shed
Will I see you once ere I'm dead?

I feel lonely and frightened as hell
Still I love you and ever I shall.
But my orders they sound like the knell
Will I live till the morn? Time will tell...

You must know that my chances are few
If I write no more– pray for my soul.
When this spring I have parted with you
I knew not– I shall not see you more...

The advance– it is set for the morn.
In the first line am I to face gore.
And if I leave this world at the dawn
You will know– I shall not see you more.

You're a star in the night– guide my way!
You're my angel– don't leave me behind!
Stay with me on this path or I stray...
On your way do not fear, do not cry...

3. The Blood

This is all I before your feet can present...
Breathing the smoke of the funeral pyre
Unavailing offer to gods of your descent...
Blood is my gift to your altar of fire.

This is all I before your feet can present...

Crimson light from my heart outside doth shine
Hazes of scarlet now shroud my sight
I shall no more be, cease the light of life divine.
And the venomous tears they burn and bite.

And a scar is left from those colours of thine.

All I desired-
To live without pain and sin
I dreamed of virtue I dreamed of savior within...

This is all I before your feet can present...
Thus disillusioned by what you are now...
You have nothing, no pity. You laugh and resent
Seeing me wounded, my blood pouring down
Being all I before your feet can present...

I just hope as I bleed that your turn will come
Turning from master to a tortured slave.
Someone leaving you to bleed as a toy undone.
Will you recall then those whom you could save?!
Oh how I would like then to see and feel as it will run
Your
Blood...

4. The Summon

Dawn! Will it heal my troubled mind
Redeem me of my soul disorder
May darkling mirrors face the light
And cut my life an hour shorter.

My dreams are of no one but you
Each vision makes me cry and shudder
Tombstone with your image on the blue.
You speak to me and call me under!

I lay and close my eyes and pray
And see my churchyard and the way
To where the snow falls on her grave.
And all is calm on winter's day.

No! Do not call me by your side!
Don't summon me! Do not ask for
What's wrong! Dreams but dim my morbid mind.
What for to die... To live what for?

5. We Will Go

Faster still we live these days
Prophets banished from our ways
Now alone we stay in haze
To guard our home...
Falsehood looming all around
Like the mists near ancient mounds.
Still our wounded hearts are bound!
We will go...

We will go
And you surely will live
We will go
To You Our Light to Give
We will go
By this and only way
We will go
Better essence to gain

They don't trust nor deed nor word
Through the air a moan is heard
And against all dooms of worlds
We have left our own..
Where are sages? Where are fair?
Dreams are broken and ensnared
Life went wrong but no one cares
So into death we go...

We will go
And you surely will live
We will go
To You Our Light to Give
We will go
By this and only way
We will go
Better essence to gain
We will go
We feel crowded in here
We will go
In the flames disappear
We will go
Our fate to obey
We will go
There forever to stray!

We are dead– away from lies
Sons of stillness, not of cries.
Our oaths we don't despise
Yet we have been so marred!
Our faith our death has been
Life is waning ever still
Have no time for what we feel
And ways of death lead far...

6. Rainbow Demon

оригинал: Uriah Heep

There rides the Rainbow Demon
On his horse of crimson fire
Black shadows are following closely
On the heels of his desire

Riding on in the mist of morning
No one dared to stand in his way
Possessed by some distant calling
Riding on through night and day

Rainbow Demon – pick up your heart and run
Rainbow Demon – lives for his sword and his gun

Riding on in the mist of morning
No one dared to stand in his way
Possessed by some distant calling
Riding on through night and day

Rainbow Demon – pick up your heart and run
Rainbow Demon – lives for his sword and his gun

7. Two Roses

You slumber deep. Dim is the light.
A pair of roses I have brought thee
Where trees in twilight cast their sights
Beyong the ancient garden grating.

I speak to you, your lips I kiss
And no reply I hope to hear
No thorns, no pain can wake from this.
No words can raise you from the bier...

The world is silent as you are
We are alone. November's ringing
The death-knell in the hills afar.
The autumn took you in it's keeping.

A dying garden cries with rain
Your face is pale, your cheeks are hollow.
The candle have been burnt in vain
And died. And I will surely follow.

8. The Cross And The Pyre

Come and see what's left of your love
Your sharp words they now sound so wrong.
High's the cross and steep is the bluff
Where the pyre's to roar it's song.

Soldiers stand encircling the hill
"They wait for the sun to decline..."
You're there and you're standing so still.
"I have come to watch as you die."

Crucified midst piles of the wood...
"Staring at the lowering sun..."
Death and love is all left of truth.
"Death will pass and love will be one!"

Tears can't quench the torches they bear.
"They are but to empty my soul..."
Waste not what you still have to share.
"None will have what you only hold."

There they come they bring the fiery brand.
"They can burn thy shell but not thee."
I will soon be scattered over land
"Yet our souls are tied eternally..."

9. Christopher Lee

Shadows had smoked all the walls
Crawled from outside your head
You can not live alone
And you can not forget.
Shadow it haunts you still,
Craving to let it rest
Prisoner of you will
Waiting for your caress.
This is me
This is me

The one who's within me shut
Yearns now to play his dark role.
This hair-raiser's final cut
Leaves no place where he is sole.
Like Christofer Lee...
Like Christofer Lee...

Not just an actor's he
Night dwells within the film
Night there revels free
Night rules it's own realm.
Sanity leaves your mind
Fear it takes it's aim.
Dare and look behind-
Shadows will rise again.
This is me...
This is me...

No borders can hold me since
I need not a word to perform
I'm here, I'm your charming prince
May celluloid be our home
Like Christofer's Lee...
Like Christofer's Lee...

And pain it awaits you here
In clutches of dreams insane
Forever I'll be with thee
Let Evil now be my name.
Your blood I will turn to wine
In vices we will abide.
In cues of all movies mine
Forever we'll stand beside.

10. Black

Recall that woeful day.
As I was coming
And fire in my soul did burn.
And midst my wild dreams of her
A rose did blacken.
Or was it doubt that turned it gray?
But thus it happened.

I cared not. I chased my dream.
Time running lifeless
And chill as in a frozen stream.
There stood my mistress
And by another was embraced!

And anguish dire
As lack of air had quenched my fire.
The rose had hit the snow
As murdered dreams had stopped their flow.
I lay just by.
My love's, my flower's parting cries

11. Fell silent like my song...
