Life

Your sunrise will be bright, your dream will disappear

The portrait is complete, and your lyrics are clear

There are laugh and despair, inspiration and sadness

And suspense of expanse, and some happiness madness

Your life for sure wasn’t in vain,

Regardless there is no way back

The seas have vanished — but remain

Serene in thousand flashbacks

Your sunset will be long, all starfalls and all blizzards

Watercolor of love and look of wickedness

There will be War and Peace, new Testament you got

And you’ll pay double price for a cheap-written plot

Your life for sure wasn’t in vain,

Regardless there is no way back

The seas have vanished — but remain

Serene in thousand flashbacks

Your careless lyrics become death poetry

The leaves of old tree rustle like a dream

You become a song of wind, your way is complete

Until the heart beats, we won’t stop the beat.

Joyous will be your way, your highway will be limpid

Don’t try to deviate — there is left just a lil bit

Mournful stripes in your life and, of course, some delightful

Lots of moments of sense and of enlightenment

Your life for sure wasn’t in vain,

Regardless there is no way back

The seas have vanished — but remain

Serene in thousand flashbacks

Your careless lyrics become death poetry

The light whisper of pray

You become just an echo, your way is complete

Until the heart beats, we won’t stop the beat.
