I cannot sleep, at dawn the headsman will come close.
The steps behind the door beat me like a knife.
There is a Sacred Lie, it wearing a black clothes,
Instead of envoy of afterlife.
The holy priest brought Word Of God for the heathen,
He promised me the wonders of endless life:
“You'd been sentenced to death then get back to Eden!” –
He whispered to my eyes and he lied.
“Just confess,
The earth life as
A bridge to other place.
In your cell
Into the jail
You'll see the Holy Face!”
Night is short, next day
Will take me away.
Mirage world burned up as ever.
Night is short, then day
Will take me away.
And all life is lost forever
As I am.
The sweet salvation I will leave for the beggar,
The wretched souls are bound to have God and King.
For man from earth the heaven's life is not better.
No need eternal – what is this thing?
I do not care I'm destined for the damnation,
And let the crowd will run like hell to the axe.
The shouts of hate for me like festive occasion,
I wouldn't be lonely at the hour of death.
Dawn light falls
And touch the walls,
The jingle of keys I feel.
End of fear,
The headsman's here,
Death in his arms is real.
Night is short, next day
Will take me away.
Mirage world burned up as ever.
Night is short, then day
Will take me away.
And all life is lost forever
As I am.
