Close to Death
03:49

When death was breathing down his neck,
With dawn a whole lifetime away
He said to me:
Just look, how in the full moon’s light
The blood’s so black
I have drained my cup of life to the drop
My thirst for it, won’t be ever
sated
At all.
And later, he laughed aloud and said
That soon he’ll know how death looks in the flash
What is it people say?
A hag with a scythe?
Or a blushing lady?
No matter
Sing to me
Hear me
About ridiculous life
And glorious fall
Hear me
The burn of poisoned knife
Keeps me in thrall
Hear me
I see poisoned dark
And a circling crow

Don’t go now, I have a bad feeling about tonight!
I’m going. It’s snowing so lightly, the full moon is bright…
Don’t go, oh, my heart is so heavy, the night is so long…
Forget it, my knife is as sharp as my lance arm is strong!
But yesterday, there was a wolf cub that died in your snare…
No, woman, It’s mother is weakened, and I’m prepared
But, did you not see them, the shadows of wolves in the night?
Don’t worry, my heart, I’ll be back by the morning’s first light!
Don’t be afraid
Two fires I will light ,
I’ll let two doves take flight
Ooooooooh
Find cloth to kneel upon
And cry a prayer-song
Ooooooooh
River, river passing through
Don’t you let my fear come true
Ooooooooh
Clouds gather overhead
You might be already dead…
Ooooooooh
Where are you?

Wondrous City
05:22
|

|
A wondrous city is hidden in dunes, encircled by sand all around.
Inside you will see, oh!, the whispering creaks and fountains that sparkle so proud…
The women who weave pearly bids into hair, the children who laugh as they play,
The men, who work hard to preserve their land and rest at the end of the day.
It’s mighty walls are, Oh, so high, the riches without end,
So day and night the wary guard keeps watch before the sand.
One night, from the distance, a woman appeared, the shine of the stars in her dress,
In sand, effervescent in light of the moon, no mark has been left by her steps.
She came to the gate, and without a word, the guardsmen were now at her whim,
So taken they were by her bottomless gaze, untroubled, they let her come in.
Her song was enchantment; it drifted inside, in homes through the windows and walls
It spoke of the hidden, mysterious things, It spoke not to ears but souls.
She walked through the city, and all those she touched, be they a woman or man,
Would smile in their sleep, and, come morning sunlight, their eyes will not open again.
The wondrous city is buried in sand, abandoned and hidden from sight.
Wherever a traveler comes through the dunes, they fear the rumored blight.
And no one alive knows what happened that night, or why all the people are gone,
But sometimes, in darkness, on windless a night, they hear a mysterious song…

Malvasia

George was a famous Duke from British islands
An obvious hero , handsome as they come
Don't even try to calll him by his titles
The night will fall before you're halfway done.
But
He had a weakness for a certain wine...
Malvasia, Malvasia
The love of all my life!
Malvasia, Malvasia
Why can't you be my wife?
As George, when drunk, was not at all an angel
He didn't always know a friend from foe
He'd wake up with a headache, and a stranger
Would tell him what he'd done the night before.
"My dear God! What demon took me over?
I changed my mind, i want my money back!
Do what i say, you thief, i'm so hungover
Say one more word - i"ll put you on a rack!"
He scared his vassals to his own detriment
The townsfolk became with him so sore
That Roses White and Red came to agreement
Despite the fact they were in constant war.
They sentenced him to death by holy fire
And in the Tower, waiting for his fate,
The Greatest George, deprived of his desire
Became despodent in his sober state.
Припев сразу
He was so desperate for cup of heaven
That he petitioned to the english crown
That if he was to die at twenty seven
He'll have a vat of wine in which to drown.
He was allowed to pick his execution
And when it was the time for him to die,
He drank the vine, to everyone's confusion
And fell asleep while mumbling his goodbye

Killing Respectfully

Hallo
I will not dawdle,
I want you to suffer until you have paid for your fun.
And now
I will be honest
I know you will wish that you died before we are done
Oh, cry for you mommy,
Yes, scream for your daddy,
Cause nobody here will care one jot for your sass
Oh, cry for you mommy,
Yes, scream for your daddy,
An army of heroes can’t save your pathetic white ass
I want
To hear you screaming
I’ll take back the tears I cried for this rat of a man
I wish
To rip your throat out
Revive with a kiss, then destroy you all over again
Your mommy won’t save you.
With your affair
So many good reasons
To take a chair
And, very respectfully
Beat you with it, then impale.

They said,
God bless you, father William!
In a faraway-land that is hot and dry
There are countless people, you have to try
And save those unfortunate souls!
The chaplain spent all night awake
He prayed and smoked, wept up a lake,
Afraid the natives may eat him whole.
Oh, God Almighty, save my soul!
By morning he was pale, but firm in his belief,
He came aboard a ship and sailed across the sea.
And only when he saw the golden sparkling sand,
And only when he saw the sky of the foreign land,
He breathed a heavy sigh, sat down beneath a palm
To watch Jamaican girls who bathed in sea and sun
Of all the people here, he realized deep down,
In need of peace and faith, he was the only one.
Father William, oh, Willy, will you
Go to Jamaica land?
Fiat Roma, oh, Willy, (will you),
Et ubi illa nunc est?

Christmas Eve

On a Christmas Eve, many years ago
When he met the little girl among the snow
Like the sun in the winter she was bright
His heart felt warmer at the sight,
He asked to know her nam
On a Christmas Eve, she came home all wet,
He smiled and said, remember how we met?
He took an angel off the Christmas tree
She saw the ring, and breathed out “yes, I will”
She was that girl again.
And every Christmas Eve until he died
He’d bring her flowers, all her fav’rite kind
He’d light some candles on a little tree
Beside her grave, and he’d remember all that she
still meant to him.
Every Christmas Eve
I will come to you
Bring along some candles to light
I believe, my love
No matter where we are,
We’re together on a Christmas

Не ходи на охоту сегодня, мне тревожно
Полная луна светит, снег стелет мягко, пойду
Не ходи, не спала я сегодня, сердце болит за тебя
Полно тебе, копьё острое, нож жаждет крови
Вынула вчера я волчонка из капкана, железо поломало ему спину
Женщина, его мать слаба сейчас, и ее легко убить
Волки ходили ночью вокруг дома, страшно мне, неспокойно
Сердце мое, не бойся ничего, вскоре я вернусь
Не бойся
Я запалю два пламени
Я отпущу два голубя
Оооой
Я застелю холстиночку
Я зарыдаю здравицу
Оооой
Речка да речка чистая
Смой мое горе горькое
Оооой
Туча за тучей стелется
Тропка за тропкой вяжется
Оооой
Живой ли ты?
