lyrics

The passage

The passage
Slowly
Took me places
Where I could never return
But in dreams..

Drift
into the abyss of grey
As planet caravan
Floats by

Distant

Along the paths
Where men of iron
May
Have wandered

The walls resuming
Their liquid maze
Creation
Me

On the pale fields
Flocks
3 stones in a row
Ancient signs

At land’s edge
The cold caress
Of water’s
Dwelling
Wind
Fall screams
As signs
Block the way

What do they fear?
These people of strange

What makes man free?
His boat?
His ship?
Or the water
That he lives by?

In the cold of November
The old woman
Weeding the grave
Of her husband
Only last year
Long diseased
Wage memories
Left to harvest

Light of fall
Forehead’s razor
The drops in empty glasses

Await the coming
Of the ocean
The faint dreams
Of the ocean
The urge
To be the ocean

"Begrav mig dybt, så rejs jer stolt
Og bryd jer tunge bånd
Og vand så med tyranners blod
Retfærdighedens ånd
Og i slægtens nye navn
Navnet der er frit
Med stille talte, varme ord
Så mind jer også mit"

“Oh bury me, then rise ye up
And break your heavy chains
And water with the tyrants' blood
The freedom you have gained.
And in the great new family,
The family of the free,
With softly spoken, kindly word
Remember also me”.

(Taras Shevchenko)
