Crystal Abyss

...Of Glory And Pain

Crystal Abyss


I'm breathing the rain at dusk 
As I am tasting bitter burial silence. 
My soul is cold and weeping like a 
Grim and misty black autumn night. 

I gaze at flowers fading to dust 
And bearing the ashes - the seeds of the moonlight 
Eternity steps on the fields of desires 
Awakening the roots of sharpened sword's bride. 

Guided by tears of clouds 
I'm wanderer sharing their dreams and fears 
Watching whatever my eyes can see 
Seeking whatever I find. 

Ravens bring dusk on their wings 
Followed by night then fresh morning dew bears 
Day while I'm going to place where I 
Will end my fettered soul's cry. 

Exhausted by constant 
Following blind eyes sight 
While breathing road's dust 
I search for place 
That on this endless plain 
Will be worthy of ceasing my way. 

I approach the hill 
With the shining mist on the top and 
Golden steps leading there, 
Threading on them 
As I enter this mist I see 
Couch prepared for me. 

Like storms on great seas calm down once 
Turning themselves into froth kissed by evening breath 
Tired I stop on my path 
To escape from the load of eternal way seeking. 

On the bed surrounded by light 
That covered it like a gorgeous dress 
Feeling the nearby night 
I lay myself to start my rest. 

As I awakened from my sleeping 
I saw three chains of gold on me 
Surrounded by white creatures gripping 
My hands to put the cross in… 

Blood was washing my teeth in flesh 
Of angels as I was breaking the chains, 
Day became night as I left this place 
With thunder roaring around, 

My gaze caught only shadows of black, 
The eye-blowing black consuming the mind 
At the same time caressing my skin 
With the waves of songs by night. 

Trees on my way were pressing poisoned 
Nails into my naked arms and dry 
Grass under feet seemed to me 
Sharper than sword. 

As salty sweet of tears was seasoning 
The taste of blood drops on my tongue 
In the pits and the mists of my soul 
I've found the road… 
…of glory and pain.
