lyrics

On the meadows of asphodels
Ghosts are roaming
Searching for oblivion
Between joy and nothingness
Those whose work is done
Are longing for the rest

No more fear and loneliness
No more drilling pain
Of the burning mind
No more crowds and screaming fools
No more raging dullness
Gathering for attack

To the meadows of asphodels
The greyfaced stroll
In the endless lines
From their unsafe fortresses
From their concrete graves
From their metal hives

No more sloth and vanity
No more hissing swirl
Of banal truths
No more festive stupidity
Of degraded empires
Trudging to their doom

From the meadows of asphodels
Ghosts are rising
Smelling sacrificial blood
From the den of unsure death
They are summoned back
To the womb of mud

There’ll be fear and loneliness
There’ll be sloth and vanity
And drilling pain
There’ll be crowds and screaming fools
And degraded powers
Will rule again

На лугах асфоделий
На лугах асфоделий
На лугах
Асфоделий
