VENUS INVICTA
Wrecked ships that never die
Sail old dreams up through the time
This is the place where memories survive
Through veins of land and into ripened wine
Sunset pours over rocks
Uncovering stars to the sea of love
When night is falling slightly too soon
Roses silently shed their bloom
She’s watching you from midnight blue
Between the sky and silver moon
She’s whispering of the ages of terror
And boats all scarred with the hidden prayers
She gave her land to the doom
She gave her land to the doom
She gave her land to the doom
Thousand moons of the doom
From hired hands she covered with a veil
By foam and shells, she was carried away
To the sacred land of myrtle and thorns
Bound to the Earth
She’s Holy Love
She gave her land to the doom
She gave her land to the doom
She gave her land to the doom
Thousand moons of the doom
She gave her land to the doom
She gave her land to the doom
She gave her land to the doom
Thousand moons of the doom
She gave her land to the doom
She gave her land to the doom
She gave her land to the doom
Thousand moons of the doom

Queen of Dust

After working after hours
Hide in twilight, driving fast
Hear the voices getting louder
She’s awakened from the dust
She moves faster through the window
Ribs unlocked, heartbeat rushed
Sneaks into you while the wind blows
For your neon eyes the die is cast
Queen of dust, burns you with fever
Desert rose, savage thrust
Kiss the night, then pull the lever
In the fire of love
In the fire
Fire of lust
Lick the flames of burning danger
Marry the dark, the electric child
Come, embrace the wings of angel
Fear no more of love tonight
Queen of dust, burns you with fever
Desert rose, savage thrust
Kiss the night, then pull the lever
In the fire of love
In the fire
Fire of lust

Drowning

Hear
Hear
Under the surface
Tear me now
I’m over it
Take me there, down to nowhere
On the razor wings I’ll fly away
On the razor wings I’ll fly
Hear
Oh hear
My calling
Hear
Oh hear
I roar
Underwater
Drowning away or being driven –
You say
Take me there, down to nowhere
On the razor wings I’ll fly away
On the razor wings I’ll fly
I found my home at the border
Between the crack in the fabric of time
I let my arms shape-shift into trees
From my deepest slumber I awake
Drowning away or being driven –
You say
Take me there, down to nowhere
On the razor wings we’ll fly away
On the razor wings we’ll fly
The water’s running from your fingers down your soul
Through frozen years won’t life appear
Your fire warms no more
You’ve been drowning for a thousand years on and on
Now spread your wings and soar
Or rot underwater

(English translation below)
Северный ветер забрал меня с собой
Моя душа ослепла за черною стеной
«Ты жива?» – вопрос осколком сна
Швыряет мне в лицо замерзшая вода
Она проходит сквозь день
В этом мире забытых теней меня нет
В этом мире Северный ветер давно стер мой след –
Хрупкий почерк с усталых страниц
Мой пульс – это прочерк
Между стихов верениц
Ночью черной не ступай за порог!
Северный ветер белокрыл, быстроног
Ночью черной не ступай за порог!
Северный ветер погасит твой огонек
В этом мире забытых теней меня нет
В этом мире Северный ветер давно стер мой след –
Хрупкий почерк с усталых страниц
Мой пульс – это прочерк
Между стихов верениц

The Wind of North has carried me along
My soul’s got blind behind the wall of blackness
“Are you alive?” – the question, shard of dream
The frozen waters ‘re tossing in my face.
It passes through the day
No presence of I in this realm of the shadows abandoned
No imprint of mine -Northern Wind has had all it erased
- frail cursive from weary pages.
Beats of pulse are the blanks
Trails wounding through poetry maze
Don’t go outside in the black of the night!
Wind of North is so white and swift-winged
Don’t’ go outside in the black of the night!
Wind of North would put out your light.
No presence of I in this realm of the shadows abandoned
No imprint of mine – Northern Wind has had all it erased
Beats of heart are the blanks
Trails wounding through poetry maze
*******
