To burn

Уильям Вэйв
Поэтический перевод песни "Гореть" группы "Lumen".

No point to scream,
When no one even hears us,
When no one even cares.
It seems to me,
That we're already dead ones,
Once we were lit and now we'll slowly fade.
When there are lots of us, we burn up our flame,
And noisy, restless cities smoke like great crematories,
And everyone is used to passing with no care.
There is no point to scream, when you're not even heard.

We can be wordless, quiet,
Can sing a song,
Can stand, can run, can fly,
But anyway, we burn.
The whale can't rip the net,
Though he's so huge and strong,
Give up and stop or not,
But anyway, we burn.

And sky is trying to connect some wires again,
To bind some words in strings.
And sky is pouring chilling rains on our heads
To answer us by it.
And if you've suddenly begun to understand,
And by the afterlight you are about to yell,
So scream, come on, but sadly, hardly you'll be heard,
Cause everyone prefers to keep their state unchanged.

You can be wordless, quiet,
Can sing a song,
Can stand, can run, can fly,
But anyway, you burn.
The whale can't rip the net,
Though he's so huge and strong,
Give up and stop or not,
But anyway, you burn.

We can be wordless, quiet,
Can sing a song,
Can stand, can run, can fly,
But anyway, we'll burn.
You'll keep from burning down,
Or nothing pure remains.
You'll keep from burning down,
You'll burn to light the way.
