Fallen

Together we lye upon this holy alter
And pray that the sunshine be swept from the vultures
The ugly result of a barbaric culture
Like queen of spades beheading those who insult her

A body of knowledge torn from its limbs
Your martyr bewilders what’s in store for him
But those who seek healing will surely be kneeling
Unstable and labeled, unable of feeling

Incapable of hatred and love
The faithful but armless reach for the above
Pulling the clouds near, driven by fear

И гордый внук славян, и финн, и ныне дикой
___Тунгус, и друг степей калмык.

И долго буду тем любезен я народу,
Что...

The sunset blazes ‘pon the vault,
This afternoon dies slowly forever,
The world is overfilled with weariness and fatigue,
Another episode of this life’s masquerade
Comes to an end…
The curtain falls…
And beauteous Agnes Adoma,
The prima donna of the opera house,
A-shining in the luster of her fame,
Leaves her beloved stage to the ovation
Of the spectators.
Her eyes! Her gorgeous green eyes!
They shine, like emeralds in the midday fire of heaven!
Her skin is white, like a snow of the...
