Night by Костробер
Night
The song reflects on humanity's destructive path, questioning the inevitability of suffering and death while urging a return to harmony with nature to prevent further devastation.
Verse 1:
Night, the muezzin sings so sweet,
Yet a shadow of doubt haunts my mind.
We’re fed images of hate, incomplete,
Fiery echoes that deepen the grind...
Chorus:
Why, through suffering and death,
Is the path for mankind preordained?
Earth itself resists with each breath,
Who will next be destroyed, unrestrained?!
Verse 2:
The waters and winds won’t agree,
Gaia stirs with the quakes' dire warning:
“It’s time to part ways, now you see,
Free yourselves from this false adorning!”
Chorus:
Why, through suffering and death,
Is the path for mankind preordained?
Earth itself resists with each breath,
Who will next be destroyed, unrestrained?!
Verse 3:
All nature is our sacred pact,
A symbiosis of thoughts and deeds.
In her, light and space we’ll attract,
Through transformations, meet our needs!
Chorus:
Why, through suffering and death,
Is the path for mankind preordained?
Earth itself resists with each breath,
Who will next be destroyed, unrestrained?!
Bridge:
Mother Earth, how far we’ve become
From the harmony we once sought.
How, defying the cosmic drum,
Do we live lives of honor distraught?!
Final Chorus:
Why, through suffering and death,
Is the path for mankind preordained?
Earth itself resists with each breath,
Who will next be destroyed, unrestrained?!
Outro:
Why are priests alone granted life
At such an unspeakable cost?
Night fades... Hope’s dawn ends the strife,
As a Muse, she guides me, unlost...
