Dark Waters

A cold breeze of dawn I feel on my skin
While I’m waiting on the shore
Fly my sorrow oh fly away with the wind
As the waves of dark waters roar
If only I’d recall that forgotten time
Sank in dark waters of yore
I’d gather shards of what was mine
Washed piece by piece ashore
If I could dive deep and grow my own fins
I’d like to swim like a sea serpent swims
Towards the horizon and the morning star
Play in the foams of waves from afar
If I could dive deep and grow my own fins
I’d like to swim like a sea serpent swims
To rule all the seas and the roots of the earth
To shape all new cycles and witness all the dying and rebirth
Surface is my heavens I worship the light
Between semidarkness and eternal night
I see setting sun through a fragmented glass
Firmament sustained by eelgrass
A cold breeze of dawn I feel on my skin
While sailing under grey skies
Fly my sorrow oh fly away with the wind
Like vapours from dark waters rise
If only I’d recall that forgotten time
Sank in dark waters of yore
I’d gather shards of what was mine
Washed piece by piece ashore
If I could dive deep and grow my own fins
I’d like to swim like a sea serpent swims
And rule all the seas and the roots of the earth
To let them all know and see what it’s worth
If I could dive deep and grow my own fins
I’d like to swim like a sea serpent swims
To shed salty tears for the passing of all
Abyss calls me and I’m not ready to answer the call
Could I dive into the dark
The darkest of the trenches of the deep
Surface is my heavens I worship the light
Between semidarkness and eternal night
I see setting sun through a fragmented glass
Firmament sustained by eelgrass
The blue-grey darkening the increasing pressure
Cooling blood vessels heart rate going low
Blind visual nerves unable to measure
An empty universe waiting for me below
Waiting below
I am the soul of the ocean
Every grain of sand on the seaside
I set the tides in purposive motion
To wash down the shelves my pain to subside
The blue-grey darkening the increasing pressure
Cooling blood vessels heart rate going low
Blind visual nerves unable to measure
An empty universe waiting below

Danu's Tears
05:47
|
|||
Life may come to an end
Or is this the time of survival
Species die out and others ascend
A sixth wave followed by revival
The anthropic age collapses in rage
Despised beings will arise
There will be no sound over depleted ground
But a desolate drone of blow flies
May the river wash away our affliction
Embrace us o mother of all streams
Let flow the waters of reanimation
The life-giving well-spring of Danu’s tears
May your tide rise over the wasteland
Embrace us o mother of all streams
Erode the footprints we left in the grey sand
Enshroud our memories in dense steams
The anthropic age collapses in rage
Despised beings will arise
No more hunt for prey, just cadavers decay
With a desolate drone of blow flies
All must go down, torn asunder
Dissolve to dust, fade away
May the river wash away our affliction
Embrace us o mother of all streams
Let flow the waters of reanimation
The life-giving well-spring of Danu’s tears

Mist Pillars '19

This pre-dawn effulgence
This refracted light
Of dewfall at daybreak
The heady flight
Of murmurating starlings
Rousing the air
A whirr of thousand bird wings
Maidens’ floating hair
I’ll die with this beauty
In front of holy fountains
To fulfill my duty
At the feet of the mountains
The pre-dawn effulgence
The refracted light
Of dewfall at daybreak
An eventual rite
White frost covers the plains
Like a ceremonial cloak
Hiding the old bloodstains
Around the sacred oak
Sky is my temple
With pillars of mist
Light is my faith that shines
Through a cloud rift
As white frost covers the fields
It glares like a ritual knife
Into the wound that never heals
And consumes my soul from inside
So change the seasons
The circle of life
Inflame again the beacons
A mountain bonfire
White frost covers the plains
Like a ceremonial cloak
Overlies the bloodstains
Around the sacred oak
Sky is my temple
With pillars of mist
Light is my faith that shines
Through a cloud rift
As white frost covers the fields
It glares like a ritual knife
Into the wound that never heals
And consumes my soul
My soul from inside

It Comes With The Rain
05:39
|
|
||
The flight of a thought
The run of the deers
The growth of a mountain
The passing of years
The gurgle of creeks
Loyalty of wolves
Knocks of woodpecker beeks
Ruthlessly turns the wheel
Crushes this brief existence
Fate is yet to reveal
its hollow indifference
It rises with the sun
It comes with the rain
With the glaciers slow run
A lustrous moraine
The end is the beginning
Where chaos is order
Reason without purpose
A dying immortal
The flight of the hawks
The swimming of eels
The weathering of the rocks
Dead matter that feels
In this endless vortex of pain the stronger remain
Waiting for relief in vain until it comes with the rain
All the beings too tired to fight become one with the light
Of an aging sun turning red from white burning its blue satellite
Too late to be wise praying to empty skies
Took ages to realize what was left to sacrifice
It’s a lethal wonder as the world goes under
To moulder to dross and dematerialize
It rises with the sun
It comes with the rain
With the glaciers slow run
A lustrous moraine
The end is the beginning
Where chaos is order
Reason without purpose
A dying immortal

I have to go father go to Mádéfalva
A meeting was announced by shiny noble lords
Many valiant lads are gathering there as well
By the snowy mountains thus I have to say farewell
My dear tender son you don’t have to go there
The meeting was announced by high austrian lords
We are doomed before them they always brought evil
They always brought misery to poor Székely people
They broke the hearts of many mothers who hardly
Brought up the handsome lads they took to join the army
Don’t go there my dear son they always brought evil
They always brought misery to poor Székely people
Don’t worry dear father yet I have to depart
I mustn’t be afraid but I must have a brave heart
If the shiny lords could frighten me away
Yellow-haired maidens disdained me all the way
So Sándor Dakó rode to Mádéfalva
Rode on a grey horse with a crimson sabretache
Many valiant lads stood up there surrounded
And shed their blood one and all by the snowy mountains
Oh good Sándor Dakó why you had to go there
For your father’s despair for your mother’s despair
For the doom of yourself
Now eagles are lurking to feast on your flesh
And over there rises a river of mourning
Indeed it is rising towards Mádéfalva
Where are you good bards maybe you are asleep
As you missed to chant of the great sorrow of Fel-Csík
The great sorrow of Fel-Csík the mourning of Háromszék
We all will remember blackguard Sivkovics’ raid
As he built a heap of prime of youth slaughtered
Threw some into fire and others into water
One mourns a father one mourns a mother
One lost a sweetheart and a bairn the other
Their plenty of tears surge as a great flood
Alas all the rivers are flooding but with blood
As Olt runs into grey Danube with its crimson water
All who could flee from the land are cursed to ever wander
My part is to go away into grey exile
If only I could see my home just once in a while
