Edge of Silence

You said moonlight is liquid
And now I believe and now I see
How it penetrates through  
narrow crevices
It flows and flows, filling all thoughts
Icy deserts, kilometers of silence
The immense burden of  
boundless freedom
Zippers zipped across the tarpaulin sky
And weak shoots pulsate in the  
damp ground

I'm looking for you to hide from the  
cruel wind
To win you back from cold and dark
The candle flame goes out,  
but I believe in your immortality
And I will take you away from the  
icy deserts
 
I don't want you to be alone
Immobile, helpless in these  
gloomy halls,
Among the strange and  
creaks and rustles
Among the alien cold, air currents
I came to steal your body from them
Reluctantly, but stubborn arrows are  
moving backwards
I keep my secret, and who will believe me
But I know you’re sleeping,  
you’re just sleeping too deeply
 
And I sneak in the dark, ignoring the  
fits of fear
In endlessly cold, empty corridors
Listening tensely,  
getting cold and shuddering,
Pressing against the wall at the  
slightest rustle
I'll blow these walls down,  
I'll break open all the doors
Having overcome all barriers,  
defeating all obstacles.
I'm stronger than the cold,  
you'll come back - I believe
From where there is no return
 
Lost in the dark depths of  
mirrored surfaces
You call me through the oceans of the  
full moon
A thin thread breaks,  
but I believe in your immortality
And I will find you even on that  
Edge of Silence ...
