Weaving a web
so cozy
Сome, leave all your worries, friend
Don't be scared
Fighting the web is pointless
At ease! At ease!
I’ll ease your pain
I’ll ease your pain
What if I close your eyes
So you could see no blight
What if I seal your mouth
So you won’t ever bite
Hand that lulls
Pulling the right string -
You dance
Aren’t you happy
To be in a trance
Soft kitty, warm kitty, full-fed
Comfortably clutched in your deathbed
Selling your voice
And losing your face
Avoid making a choice
Avoid leaving the maze
Soft kitty, warm kitty, full-fed
Aren’t you happy to kiss
Hand that lulls
Hand that ties
Hand that ties!
You chose a delusion to live
You chose a mirage to believe
Between joyance and grief, darkness and light
You chose to be deprived
Paradised
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
Magnetized
Take a pill
It’s not real
Your good will
My good will
Paradised
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
Paralyzed
Stay where you are
Stay still
Listen my command
My will
You are satisfied
Stuffed but crucified
Trying to break the line,
Struggling to ditch the smile
But it’s
Rigor mortis
Rigor mortis
No more worries, no more tears
No more hopes and no more fears
It’s rigor mortis
It’s rigor mortis
A blissful smile is your demise
It’s too late to realize
it’s rigor mortis
it’s rigor mortis

Desperate Family

Burdened by time
Under the water we lie.
Dreams are a curse
Strand us on the torn-up seacoasts
Abandoned everything we had at home, no!
Purple light fills our eyes
Under layers of water and ice
You’ll become one with the storm!
All orchestras of the world felt silent
Embrace, don’t fight it!
Don’t fight it!
Siren song, sunlight is muted
Nevertheless, we’ve seen...
Siren song, sunlight is muted
Nevertheless, we’ve seen the way
(We can stay alive)
Look at the judge and see your own face,
We make a deal with ourselves
If there is no way to avoid the death sentence
We can face it with love and hate
Oh, my child, please forgive me,
don’t cry!
Compassion is a necessary evil
We die
To rescue all the rest
A family of desperates!
A family of desperates!
A family of desperates!
A family

Lamb of War

Here is a nursery rhyme
Mesmerizing fable
For the last man alive, who’ll see the sun
Raise your hands in a prayer
Raise a flag of despair
They’ll tie your wrists
Now watch the bloody feast
A - Abandoned city
B - Bombardment
C - Concentration camp
D - Disease
Barefooted and unarmed
Child calls for its mom
But she's already gone
Trail of bodies laid to rest
Rotten mouth will never talk against
A king in a crown of chains
Licking shoes
For crumbs from royal table
Will you lose
Homeland and your cradle
Will you lose
Children and your wife
You will lose
Honor and your life
See the fire, hear the drums
Shhh, keep quiet!
Good lamb hushes when shearer comes
Value water before the well is dried
Value freedom before you are confined
A man chooses, a slave obeys
Drop your mask and show your real face
Rise!
Fight!
For your
Children and your wife
Honor and your life
Homeland of your heart
FIGHT!

Mother!
Oh, hear what I say
I’m lost in the darkness
I’m so tired
I’m so frightened
Mother!
I’m dying in pain
Your voice сan barely be heard!
Через море
Через ті гори чорні
Чутно стогін
Біль, ма
Той відчай, тиск на скроні
Ні, ні, ні!
Body is a cage
Weakness turned to rage
I have reached the darkest corner
Of the labyrinth
Will you guide me, Ariadne?
Or will I face defeat?
Just stop it!
Will I ever kill the beast?
Will I ever find peace?
Stranger’s face
Unwelcome guest
Is it a looking glass?
A mess
No more no less
My thoughts are a maze
So tired
So frightened!
Ohh...
I have reached the darkest corner
Of the labyrinth
Will you guide me, Ariadne?
Or will I face defeat?
Counting tiles, and counting minutes
Counting road signs: 1,2,3
If I ever stop this ritual
I will, I will disappear
Counting tiles, and counting minutes
Counting road signs: 1,2,3
If I ever stop this ritual
I will, I will disappear
Will you guide me?
Guide me!
Will you guide me?
Set me, set me free
Will you save me?
I have reached the darkest corner
Of the labyrinth
Will you guide me, Ariadne?
Or will I face defeat?
I have reached the darkest corner
Of the labyrinth
Will you guide me, Ariadne?
Or will I face defeat?

King vs king
Blink!
Almighty, all-seeing being
Nothing but dog’s meat
Ashamed and defeated,
In need
You came here to rip
But you have been sown
You’ve been sown
Sown, sown, sown
In a crystal ball:
Envy, combat, might
One takes it all
The other dies
I am the one who won
You are the one who’s gone
And nothing can change it
It’s my way
I’m here to rule
You to obey
You will never see me crawling
I am, I am, I am
I’m a God
You are? You are...?
Well, I, forgot...
King of it all
Reigns among the heaps of gold
Reign, reign haughty man
All things come to an end
It’s been said!
It’s been said!
It’s so sad
It’s so sad
What you can’t ward off,
And can not conceal,
What you’ve been warned of
Now it’s becoming real
Greedy foes
Crowding at the doors
They wear a tricky guise
And masks of beloved ones
Do you remember all the sleepless nights?
Do you remember all the lullabies?
Let me wrap my arms around you
Hush, listen: the blade
The blade that rips your guts
it’s on my hands
it’s on my hands
it’s on my hands
it’s on my hands
on my hands...
On the mountain peak I stand
Blood is on…
On my hands
On my hands
History
Will repeat itself
It’s been said
History
Will repeat itself
It’s been said
The trail
Laid by fate,
Lay a sacrificial lamb
Right on it
Drink! Drink your fucking fame
And play a catch-up game
Like Ouroboros
Where Fate is rolling dice
One smiles, one cries!
One is born, the other dies
The other dies...
