lyrics

To the East

Forget the hassle of inevitable trouble,
No more awry masks are left for us.
Hug me but, please, be tender.
I am still afraid of the loneliness of endearments.

Put despair above your roof.
Break all the beginnings like during your first time.
Tell me what you see but, please, quietly.
I am still scared of the Uncertainty of your eyes.

And the thoughts fly Eastwards and further to the East.
Days change and nights change.
Leave everything you couldn't give up before.
So you 'll see your way more clearly.

Let it free what they cannot do!
Stretch in your palms what they don't wait for anymore.
Give me blue ice to drink but, please, be tender.
I am still scared of misty colds.

Warm me up with a prayer of coming sunrises.
Feed me the purity of the Northern whores.
Show the pale stars the way to the Sleeping Waters!
I am not scared of their crossroads anymore!

And the thoughts fly Eastwards and further to the East.
Days change and nights change.
Leave everything you couldn't give up before.
So you'll see your way more clearly.
