Abandonment
1. Abandoned
[Actual lyrics]
Alone again, alone with my sorrow
I walk alone from room to room
And a black velvet curtain
Sweeps me cold marble slabs...
So long and hard I kissed
That blood came out of my mouth!
Oh, don't you return?
And a gold locket on a chain
Still I always wear...
You want to know - there whose images
And her hair? So know - they're yours!
Oh, don't you return?
Or you're on my mind all powerful?
But day and night, in a dream, a dream, an hourly,
Under the sound of the wind and light crackling fireplace
Always, always I am thinking of you...
Oh, don't you return?

[Lyrics from the CD booklet, full version]
(Notice that the actual lyrics are shortened form of the this full version.)
Alone again, alone with my sorrow
I walk alone from room to room
And a black velvet curtain train
Sweeps me cold marble slabs...
Oh, do not you return?
My steps sounded amid the empty places...
From the high walls of the old portraits
Look after me quizzically and strictly
And look after me...
Oh, do not you return?
But I remember, as though on the window
Where swaying softly curtain
Hid me from my suffering
Slipped momentarily in my eyes...
Oh, do not you return?
Her wedding-ring on the day
In the frenzy of silent despair
So long and hard I kissed
That blood came out of my mouth!
Oh, do not you return?
And a gold locket on a chain
Still I always wear...
You want to know - there whose images
And her hair? So know - they're yours!
Oh, do not you return?
Or you're on my mind all powerful?
But day and night, in a dream, a dream, an hourly,
Under the sound of the wind and light crackling fireplace
Always, always I am thinking of you...
Oh, do not you return?
It has long been your cheeks blush faded
And look faded... I'm waiting for! I'm dying!....
And if I do not send you a curse
How great, understand, my love!
Oh, do not you return?
2. Elegy
This must be done
hopes fall silent
fear and terror fade
My eye, my eyelids laden
gathered together in death dreams
Perhaps, in a coffin I dreamed
who will lean upon him,
who will weep and pray
over my cold dead body
For whom who never comes
I wrote the words I sing
And he does hear my song
His shade forgave my sins
I've heard no voice, no sound
I saw no lips, no mouth
And no one were around
The emptiness I found
But my spirit
will rise through the shortest way to the far heights
where crowd of the unknown incarnations
entwined in eternal constellations
Who were there outside
Crawling deep inside
Hidden from my opened eyes
Upon the highest mountains high
Who were listening me
He's danced within my rhyme
I am wondering
Was it just a point in time?
No one wasn't there
I saw no flesh, no bones
All alone, I am there
And only lonely wind blows...
3. In a Sarcophagus
I had a dream -
- we were dozing in a sarcophagus
and we were listening to the ocean
how the wave hits the rock
and our names were burning
two stars were merged into one
The century were coming upon us
generations were passing
The vortices swept us into the hot sand
but our names were free from decomposition
they were sounded in the hymns of passion and longing
and death passed by
Only the brilliance of her wings
We saw in a dream, eyes dosed
And our names were filled with breath of lilies
Our names were blooming in a fabulous love
4. Mantra
The Supreme Spirit dwells inside of every living creature
I'm the radiant sun
The Moon among the stars
The Knowledge, the Principal Priest
The Treasure Keeper, The Most Highest Mountain
The Lightning among all weapons
The Lord of Death, all-absorbing death
The Argument that adduced the Truth
The Intellect, The Eloquent
That shines in all which splendour-striken
I am the Silence of your secrets
5. One Last Step
Crawl in ashes, bowed down with the thoughts
But the names that I wonder, evil raised within me
Prayers unanswered and questions to life
The last grasping, eternally bound
Thoughts so shallow which sit in despair
Drowned in nightmares, eternally hurt
at the dawn of rage and profanity,
cut deep in your bloodless heart
ready to crumble, ready to die
All those words in vain impaled in my heart
so numb and buried deep in agony
a rhyme so vile, is piercing my dreams
so real, so near it breaks the crown of sin
Devouring the thoughts, of life cast in stone
remembering the day, I sold my soul.
More mistakes at hand, betrayed by eyes of fate
here, denied, and sworn, forgotten in this hell
a rhyme so vile, so close and shaped in agony
(Note: The last stanza appears in the CD booklet, but is not used in the track.)
6. Seven
When this happened to me and why?
Time will never tell me why
I am dying here in grace
May I die alone in this empty place?
The woods around me. I see the emptiness!
I'm sick and tired of darkened holiness
I am the devoted slave
Who enters the ancient cave
With no name, with no needs. Pure heart...
With no fear of shame. Highest regards...
"Take my hand, dance with me
Hold on tight, look at me...
...carefully. How I dance
Dancing within the circle of life"
And the time turns to stone
Words are empty and crowded with lies once again
"Kiss my feet, I will come
What d'you see? Whose Kingdom?
Yes! I know everything
Don't be scared, I am Shelter"
Like weeping all the time
Words are sad and crowded with lies once again
Life and death, love or hate
