The Odyssey 07:30
In silent centuries they march the levels of oceans Overflowing the emptiness of our souls Transparent waves are the natural veil of their everlasting grief Onto foot of heavens the dark pilgrimage takes palce Day by day - year by year Shining half-moon embraces its darkside Duality of endless tranquillity Time is but a fragment of misty eternity Behold descendants of the lunar tide And see them dance in an astral trance Day by day - year by year Day by day ... the odyssey ... year by year Puzzling smile of the setting sun Reflection beyond the stars when all gates fall down In timeless odyssey of speechless companions Myriads of stars - they are the sparks That inflame the fires of funeral sorrows Beyond all horrors - beyond all horrors Day by day - year by year Companions without name in the forest of yesterday Dreaming the dreams of mournful dawn of passage to the cosmos community The experience never experienced before Pilgrims of odyssey alone - they are never to depart From one sphere into another by the shore of the soul They are just transcending - in odyssey alone Day by day - year by year

"The man divine", two-faced pharisee He's not just shadow in your fantasy In every second man his eyes can be seen Alas, his truth is not a cure for hypocrisy Day as anyone else: Quarrels, insults - who cares? How far will you dare? Slaughter, murders and rapes As a piggy in a muck Living beyond your needs In the world where the truth Is awful nightmare for your deeds Perverse love to God Perverse love to the dead God Blood on the hands ... dark stains in the mind The morning after ... with cross around your neck Crawling to confess ... from perverse love to God Who's gonna be sacrificed When in the name of God you terrify Whose blood makes you satisfied When perverse love is sanctified Perverse love to God!

Absorb yourself into me Feel the scars burning deep Deeper and deeper than ever before I saw myself in your dream You let me in, with my belief Too far to touch the spirit Too weak to move That stillness in your aura I cannot reach and I cannot feel Oh I cannot feel Your eyes: close to me Whose heart: shall now bleed My pain through your smile And ever-bleeding mind Read out in my eyes the weird secret fear Thou who walk to eternity Within the stream of bloodred tears Thou who walk eternity Your eyes: close to me Whose heart: shall now bleed My pain through your smile And ever-bleeding mind From your embrace into the coldest night To seal my doom and meet my destiny Within the walls of darkest The walls that held my screams from dreams Deliver myself to the hands of fate Now I am free from my misery You're fading away ... it had to come And I cannot believe that it's so real, oh so real Your eyes: close to me Whose heart: shall now bleed My pain through your smile And ever-bleeding mind

Each time when I walk alone Each time when I wander along Along the valley of the forest deep I can feel presence of the sleeping ones, not dead yet Dreaming their ancient dreams As they lay hidden in solitude In honour and pride, at the midnight ride Every day and night, with every minute spent Multifaced deities reveal from beyond the mist The mist I have pictured within my mind As the memories of Slavs awake.... Gathered under Carpathians We are the rocks of pagan age Hearken and remember: SWARASIZ - Elder and the Highest of Lutic tribe Remember SVENTEVITH, and hearken to his horn Remember RUGIEVITH, creature of seven faces Remember TRIGLAV, the Omnipotent three-headed one Hearken to PERUN's voice of power Remember TURUPIT, remember PIZAMAR Hearken to the Omniscient ones Remember STRIBOG, who rides the mighty winds Hearken to TJARNAGLOFI, the elements of darker side Remember SIMARGL, forever veiled in mystery Remember RADEGAST, remember GEROVITH Hearken to the Ones whose eyes are ominious Remember all those names Covered by the dust of centuries Hearken to inner voice of universal memory And remember: the heathen age belongs to us!

My life, the pyramid of sorrow Cascade of tears, nightmares Fears of what's to come Could it be called "life" at all? I long for what you call "death" But should it be my redemption? Sorrow's spreading through my head Empty screams are only heard My soul is torn apart As my grief drives me mad And when will all this end? Cruel words are now so bright Unable to resist I fall World's fading before my eyes No will to live anymore The pyramid of sorrow I can't find the reason why Why emotion's left to die Can the heart be even so cold That neither fire nor sun Can make it burn at all? Freezing eyes, hearts of stone Emotions so far, so cold Days of youth, days of joy All that is past forever gone Cruel words are now so bright Unable to resist I fall World's fading before my eyes No will to live anymore Freezing eyes, hearts of stone Emotions so far, so cold Days of youth, days of joy All that is past forever gone When all is dust and all is black My world is lost, emotions dead All tears are wept but pain remains How could I've forgotten this all? So how could I have forgotten?

Welcome ... to the land of shallow sleep Where statues are screaming And hollow trees are crying Where the wind can speak And all the things beyond belief are real But still: there's much more to imagine ... Before I lay my words upon you Before the Greatest Mountain speaks Before I make your mind burning Before my thoughts turn to wings Forget the world you live within Forget the poor race of human Unfold your wings and realize This trip will be for eternity I found the key to the realm unknown Where horses fly and angels are black Things far more precious than all what you know Majestic treasures yet to be unveiled Yeah - the stone-cold knife is my dearest friend Yeah - my inmost feeling is misanthropy You hold the key to the realm obscure And feel the breath of burning star Shut your eyes while there's yet time And hear the music of the yesterworld Yeah - the stone-cold knife is my dearest friend Yeah - my inmost feeling is misanthropy I have seen the things that No words can verbalize The night after the night Once again I shut my eyes I fly for the very last time Over the fields of life Towards my slumberland The precious land of suicide

Falling from down above With thoughts somewhere away Dreamed-drowned image of interior Forgotten in the winds of dreams Through the visual angle of immortality Wandering to the point of light Unknown blaze fills the space Of unreal delusions Through the visual angle of immortality Wandering to the point of light Unknown blaze fills the space Of unreal delusions Somewhere far away In everlasting time With face towards the paradise And back turned to the past Unreal delusions of astral way Unknown illusions fading away Stars turned off The moon went black Dilemma of the mind Vanishing into the dark All is over The spirit back in the body Left alone to its peace And unreal delusions Unreal delusions of astral way Unknown illusions fading away

Oh - unexpected - extreme - blaze Blinded my heart to black Illusions of primary reluctance Disappeared in flowers you sowed All that, what should be and had ever been Will never be the same as before my soul was torn By lullaby untold Why not to play with love and hate? Seed of lust - you sowed in myself The claws of you - the music of mine Makes me to crash a stone at your heart My hands - they are love and hate My fists - are mouth of me So let me sing a lullaby for your soul Let me strike you in your face With both of them ... in harmony A colour of your soul, a coulour of your face Need not to be hidden - your emotion's range We, children of the sin - each other bewitched The truth we sought, a lullaby untold It hurts like a fist in your face And leaves no trace ... and leaves no trace All that, what should be and had ever been Will never be the same as before my soul was torn By lullaby untold And we'll play with love and hate no more ...
