WHAT IS TO BE DONE? A Bird flew in the blue sky. WHAT IS TO BE DONE? A Hunter shot it down. WHAT IS TO BE DONE? The Bird fell into the water. WHAT IS TO BE DONE? Did the Hunter run to get it? WHAT IS TO BE DONE? He ran on bare stones, He ran on sands and grass. WHAT IS TO BE DONE? There was no water. It went dark. He took a rest in birch jungle. WHAT IS TO BE DONE? Night trees reminded him his rifle. The Hunter helplessly cried. WHAT IS TO BE DONE? Shooting Began! Targets are far and wide. Sanity became Insanity. The man burrowed into a snowdrift. He asked himself again. WHAT IS TO BE DONE? After was not Because Until the spring arrived Why responded heedlessly Thus drunk by itself Where said fuck off to There There did not return. All Sought something special in Thus. But Thus was nothing like Thus. WHAT IS TO BE DONE? HOW IS TO BE DONE? WY IS TO BE DONE? WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
A Bird flew in the blue sky.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
A Hunter shot it down.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
The Bird fell into the water.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
Did the Hunter run to get it?
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
He ran on bare stones,
He ran on sands and grass.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
There was no water.
It went dark.
He took a rest in birch jungle.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
Night trees reminded him his rifle.
The Hunter helplessly cried.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
Shooting Began!
Targets are far and wide.
Sanity became Insanity.
The man burrowed into a snowdrift.
He asked himself again.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

After was not Because

Until the spring arrived

Why responded heedlessly

Thus drunk by itself

Where said fuck off to There

There did not return.

All Sought something special in Thus.

But Thus was nothing like Thus.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
HOW IS TO BE DONE?
WY IS TO BE DONE?
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

Ilyukevich sings in Russian, his vocals swoop from soft whispered melodies to raucous screams, defying language barriers to deliver songs that are uplifting, intelligent, macabre, romantic and melancholic. ... more
