Oh omniscient Cassandra
Take a look into the future
See how those who’ll inherit the earth
Will take care of their creation
Here I am
Opposing the gods
Spirit of rebellion
Giving life to clayman
Sharing the flame of science
Intellect and madness
Here I am
Alone with my concerns
Alone with the knowledge
No one to share with
Alone with my vision
Of hopeless despair
Take a look into the future
Oh omniscient cassandra
See how those who’ll inherit the earth
Will take care of their creation
How the skies will burn
Over dried up wells
The skies will burn
Don’t be sorry for this world
A next wave will always arise
Different shapes growing from soil
Differently coloured skies
After extinction of wolf
The rats will evolve
Insects and mosses will compass
The temples of human
Better the pain of eagles
Feeding on my liver
Than of shame and regret eroding my soul
Torporous and bitter
They’re only a spark
In the endless light of existence
Let them live and die while it lasts
Like ants below your feet

Old Roots

A long procession of northlanders
Conducts us in this feral void
They came along a golden path
Jaws of ravines to avoid
Half-eyed wit make us worthy
To sail the foams of the grey seas
Our life is an endless journey
Driven by tempest and fresh breeze
We may never settle down
But know that there’s a distant home
Although the sea-line’s been monochrome
Our progenies we’ll never know
Leave no trace in the crunching snow
Cast no shadows in the afterglow
Rise new sun
For the old world
See your sons
Roaming confirmed
Set forth seventh sons
Sever the old roots
Speak arcane tongues
Reach for the new fruits
A dawn of a new day
Shine on your faces
Demolish the old way
Bear the torch for ages
We may never settle down
But know that there’s a distant home
Although the sea-line’s been monochrome
Our progenies we’ll never know
Leave no trace in the crunching snow
Cast no shadows in the afterglow
Rise new sun
For the old world
See your sons
Roaming confirmed

Twelve Miles To Live

I lost my way
Night is my blanket
Snow is my pillow
I agonize under the blackened sky
Where should I crawl onwards
Once clear paths were hidden from my eyes
Surrounded by black birds
I’m waiting for my demise
I run back over
My mistakes weigh heavy on my chest
I hold on to the past
I cry in the wind
Like abandoned fawns
It slowly approaches between the bald trees
Running on soft paws
Trying to hide into the
Inviting warmth
Of the looming snow
From its impending shadow
With narrowed eyes setting my teeth
Just twelve miles to live
The last effort to find shelter and fire
Sad groves witness me
Don’t croon my elegy
My body merges into the moorlands
An eventual scenery
Where should I crawl onwards
Once clear paths were hidden from my eyes
Surrounded by black birds
I’m waiting for my demise
With narrowed eyes setting my teeth
Just twelve miles to live
The last effort to find shelter and fire

Like game runways in the woods
Abruptly I may pass away
I’ve wasted all my precious goods
I can’t account for or repay
As child I shriveled my tender flesh
With acrid smoke that burns the eye
Sadness clouds my consciousness
While realizing where was I
Lacerated way too early
By desires that ran off the rails
In the deep my regrets hurt me
Should have waited ten other years
Without perceiving I defied
and refused to follow mother’s word
I grew up an orphan and stepchild
Laughed at masters unconcerned
I thought my youth this green wilderness
Was perpetual and unbound
And now with tearful bitterness
I listen to dry branches’ sound
It’s not me who’s screaming but the earth rumbles
Beware of the devil as he’s gone mad
Lie low at clear bottoms of fountains
Flatten yourself into surfaces of glass
Moisten your face in yourself with no end
But you can wash it only in others
Talán eltűnök hirtelen,
Akár az erdőben a vadnyom.
Elpazaroltam mindenem,
Amiről számot kéne adnom.
Már bimbós gyermek-testemet
Szem-maró füstön száritottam.
Bánat szedi szét eszemet,
Ha megtudom, mire jutottam.
Korán vájta belém fogát
A vágy, mely idegenbe tévedt.
Most rezge megbánás fog át:
Várhattam volna még tiz évet.
Dacból se fogtam föl soha
Értelmét az anyai szónak.
Majd árva lettem, mostoha
S kiröhögtem az oktatómat.
Ifjúságom, e zöld vadont
Szabadnak hittem és öröknek
És most könnyezve hallgatom,
A száraz ágak hogy zörögnek.

Northern Wind

Winter’s grey
Comes with the northern wind
It takes me south
to a tranquil place
The colours of vintage and harvest
Enchanted landscapes
The laughter of maidens
Keenly picking grapes
I’ll come home one day
I’ll come home
I am the late king
Who ceased to thrive
A hope for a new spring
Keeps me alive
As dawn breaks across horizon
I take the road
Raptured by the red sun rising
Pastel haloed
I’ll come home one day
I’ll come home
Fatherland’s
Echoes resonate with me
Ease my mind
Anchor my soul
I carry the old country’s soil
To plant home trees
To find completeness
Across the seas
To find my home far away
Find my home
I searched for a cause to die for
And a purpose to live
Didn’t mind to save my vital force
But always to give
Years flew away
But the bond remained
And along the way
I walked unafraid
I’ll find a way
Don’t wait for me
I am the late king
Who ceased to thrive
A hope for a new spring
Keeps me alive
As dawn breaks across horizon
I take the road
Raptured by the red sun rising
Pastel haloed
I’ll come home one day
I’ll come home
