You've just been born, but we were there - Living in sombre cold caves. Grim faces, heavy foot Guests from past and dark times Greetings from Stone Age! Going with the crowd, you change your clothes, Trying on a pile of new ideas, Launching mockery missiles at us, But what is your plastic against our stones? Greetings from Stone Age! Old oxes make straight furrows, A huge club will explain it all - There's a few of us left, but under our rough skin A primitive, wild flame is burning.

The fear is wandering Among your thoughts in the night, Waiting for you, Lurking in the shadows. It is Fear, Wandering in the night. Covered with the dark of your thoughts It lurks in the shadows. There's a void in your soul, A cold of dead comets, And a slipknot in your head Is whispering, Hi. Loneliness is waiting, And there's no escape. Flutters are futile In the nets of strong toils.

Life, as if my mouth was full of mud, I want to scream, but I can't breathe. A black and white silent-film actor; Silly scenes in shot, they make me sick. They can't hear me! Adventures in the sleepy world of the deaf Are only a pointless wandering. And if I'm asleep, wake me up, My body is dead, my senses are frozen. They can't hear me! I woke up, and my mouth was full of mud, However much I tried, I couldn't scream I was gnawing and kicking in a narrow coffin, The air was running out — it was time to fall asleep.

An old wizard is looking For naughty children If the city puts its lights on Hurry up to the bed An old wizard wears Glasses and a coat, He has a shabby case In his hands Good Wizard Citizen X An old wizard wants To play with you, He invites you For a walk. An old wizard is always Walking ahead Carefully seeking To be left alone with you. Good Wizard Citizen X An old wizard is afraid Of the deep of your eyes, He closes them with a sharp knife Here and now. An old wizard is binding His spell, Those who followed him Were never seen again. Good Wizard Citizen X

At the very bottom of the sleep In a miry dull silence I can hear the clank of hooves. Shivers run down my spine. Everything is flooded with ghostly light, And there is no way back. The shadow of a goat reaches out for me, It wants to take me to hell. The Devil has come for me. I woke up, but hell was waiting for me My mind is in flames I am infected with a seed of evil He is inside me, He got in through the devilish dream My consciousness is melting like a candle, I am writhing in pain in delirium The goat shadow is in my head He is yelling, he triumphs — I won't go away!

I saw — your dirty dreams, I hear — you're not that pure, I know — don't say a word... Listen, don't say a word! I'm tired! I know — how to work flat out I saw — everything on the road to ruin I remember — those blackening days Listen, don't say a word! I'm tired! I remember — my friend hung himself, I heard — the sound of sorrowful marches, I know — mourning isn't just wreaths, Listen, don't say a word! I'm tired!

We never became friends when you were alive, And it doesn't matter that I'm your flesh and blood, I'm still playing my dystopian songs, I carry grave sand in rusty buckets. You're deep down, You're far away, Father... Your body is rotting in worm-eaten ground, But I don't care. You were dead long before that spring, You never lived for me. You're deep down, You're far away, Father...

Games of love Ended yesterday - Shatters of broken glass Are all over the floor. One-use people, Burning bridges, Needles in the ribs, Dead dreams. I won't be your toy! Coal instead of heart - Grey ashes, Black pitch instead of blood In the veins. I want to trample down The smouldering sparks, I can only Sing and dance. I won't be your toy! See you!

Hello, turbulent stream of a river in spring, Dark waters and ice singing in silence, Take away all the sorrow with your cold flow, Embrace my tired body and don't let it go... Don't let it go, Please, don't let it go, Hold me tight! Tighter! Forgive me... Farewell. Hello, caressing wind from boundless fields, Carry away the bitterness of the past. The stars will say good-bye in the freezing morning twilight, Embrace my tired body and don't let it go... Don't let it go, Please, don't let it go, Hold me tight! Tighter! Forgive me... Farewell.
