Sleep

Автор: Евгений Лайонел Балмонт


Dive into the other realm

Wash away the pain

Ease the burden

Let it stand

Flow your life today



Rose of sorrow is so pure

Grows out of your core

You can feel the bloody thorns

Pierce what should endure



Feel the waves of solace lull

And the streams of fate

Let them gently bear you by

The shores of never-why

Untill it is too late

For time have never stopped

The joy of pain is rough

And cruel and insane

But that's the only raft

One can row on this way



Oh, my friend sleep softly

Oh, my friend be quiet

Fragile art of your existence

Won't bother you for now

You're chest's breathing is so peaceful

Scarlet lips are still

My shy hand will reach just once

To caress your hair

If I didn't know your pain

And would see you know

I would think that I have found

The only blissful one

And still I think you are

But only for a while

For this so short one "now"



If you only knew I share

The same desease as you

If you only knew I bear

The same cross just like you



But sleep for now my friend

Slip into the void

In the comfort of a dream

Find the ease to cope



I will sit right by your side

On the shore of never-why

Watch you slowly float on by

Until you wake and cry

Not seen but deep within

Then I will have to go

Coz' I have heard your "No"
