Northern Ash

Silhouette frozen outside the window

The world is deafened by silence after long symphonies
The era has frozen into a crumbling broken layer
We are just hostages of our own strange harmonies
Those who firmly believed that no one would betray

Northern ash falls on lacerated wounds
Hiding the outlines of past wars
We were so looking for salvation in dreams and fogs
But they found only fatal leaden peace
Where is the love that seemed to us the light of salvation?
The match has gone out, all that remains is forgiveness

We cannot find answers in the dark frames of icons
God turned away and silently went beyond the horizon
Your generosity is now like a stiletto throw
Our every whisper is a front split in two

You opened your arms, like fortresses are surrendered
Quietly, with humility, letting in the legions of winter
I was looking for a spark of carelessness in your weakness
But I realized: we are the architects of death

Northern ash falls on lacerated wounds
Hiding the outlines of past wars
We were so looking for salvation in dreams and fogs
But they found only fatal leaden peace
Where is the love that seemed to us the light of salvation?
The match has gone out, all that remains is forgiveness

Listen to how the winds cry over the shot temples
We partake of pain from one cup
Everything that seemed unshakable has become a deception
The field where I promised to be with you is scorched

This is not hatred - just the end of entropy
And a broken spirit on the steps of forgotten shrines
We were so afraid of freezing in deep lethargy
That they set this world on fire and said “Amen”

Northern ashes fall on sleeping wounds
Hiding the outlines of internal wars
We got lost in other people's rewritten plans
And accept the cold crystal peace
Imaginary joy that betrayed the moment of Sunday
The blizzard has subsided. The burnt offering was made.
