ILLUSTRATOR (2014)

Giant Leap

 

Verse 1:

«Giant  leap for mankind…»

False prophet said.

But we’re still bound,

To office chairs.

Bridge :

Someone stole

the sense and goal,

Got  this?

Chorus 1:

No hope in tomorrow,

Got lost in today,

We stand on the grave  of our past.

Verse 2:

«I have a dream that…»

Dead prophet said

But we’re still bound

By our own chains

Bridge…

Chorus 2:

No hope in tomorrow,

Got lost in today,

We stand at the grave  of our past,

There is nothing to change.

(Vyacheslav Zaitsev)

 

 

 

Justice For Sale

 

 

Verse 1:

Today is judgment day

A day for travesty of justice

Corruption and decay

In rotting minds of greedy judges

Put on your gown, hold your hammer in hand

Performance has begun

And audience awaits the show

Bridge:

Justice for sale —

It’s an epic fail

Unguilty goes to jail.

Justice for sale —

With a judgment bell

The judge will go to hell.

Chorus:

No matter who you are –

You’re guilty!

No matter what’s the price –

You’re guilty!

No matter where’s the proof –

You’re guilty!

Nothing depends on you —

You’re guilty!

Verse 2:

Your verdict has been sold

A curtain falls and show is over

The last words has been told

As judge’s eyes began to lower

Take off your gown, throw your hammer away

Your punishment is death

There’s no escape and no redemption

Bridge, Chorus.

(Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

 

ILLUSTRATOR

 

 

Verse 1:

Welcome to my graphic world,

I have some tales to be told.

Please get much closer to me,

You’ll see whatever you wish to see.

Bridge:

Whatever hurts

And trans me on.

All episodes

Will be drawn.

My paint brush

Is magic and divine.

Just step inside

I’ll illustrate your mind.

Chorus 1:

I’m image creator,

I’m holy illustrator!

The master of picture

In fact I’m your art preacher!

Verse 2: 

And as the story unfolds won’t you listen tonight

Take a first look at my walls in the shadows of night,

Needles and papers you’ll see

To recognize your destiny.
Chorus 2:

A mirror reflection

Just simple illustration

The fragment of your life

That brings you back to nowhere!
Bridge, Chorus  2.

(Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

 

Daily War

 

Verse 1:

Fight!

There are no rules of engagement,

Blast!

My mind and soul  as  payment

Fight!

My silent enemy waits now,

(He) knows  my desire.

Verse 2:

Lust!

I can’t resist my temptation

Alone!

I’ve lost my hope for salvation

Fire!

Inside of me is a fire

Slowly torturing my mind.

Chorus:

I remember (the) time,

there was something like heaven,

But it’s gone. Now I try

To rebuild that home.

I was lost (but) now am found

Break down my prison

Off  to fight (and) lead myself

To  my daily war!

Verse 3:

Shine!

The shining glass is my cage now,

Red!

My blood is filled  with a anger,

Rum!

Obsession breaks up my boundaries

Thinning my red line

Chorus.

(Vyacheslav Zaitsev)

 

 

Dance On The Grave

 

Verse 1:

Black night

Cloudy and scary,

Walking

Through cemetery.

I saw

Something spiritual,

Infernal demonic ritual.

Aaaah… demonic ritual!

 

 Chorus 1:

Dance on the grave,

No chance to pray,

For soul to save.

Jump into your coffin!

Let’s play the same

Pre-mortal game

Just like insane.

Screaming, yelling, rolling!

Dance on the grave,

You’re Satan’s slave

Don’t be so brave!

Run away from here

So cruel fate

Soon will be late!

For heaven’s gate

You will disappear!

 

Bridge 1:

Down on my knees pray to survive

Oh, God, don’t take away my life

 

Verse 2:

This dance

Is how we live on,

Great fall

Into oblivion.

Night sins

Morning confessions

Unholy human relations.

Come on!

Step on your own grave!

Let’s dance

Losing the true faith!

Your mind’s

Swallowed by Serpent,

You are the Lucifer’s servant!

 

Bridge 2:

Never turning back

And no way to survive

Dancing on the grave

At the edge of your life

Chorus 2.

(Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

 

 

Broken Spell

 

Verse 1:

There’s a story I can tell,

You never heard it.

It’s about a broken spell

And no returning.

Thirty years ago

Girl has been born at cold night!

Cold dark night!

 

Verse 1:

Look out! What’s up?

The child  — Is so strange!

Oh, no!

Seems like a God’s Revenge,

Tonight you see

The beast Has been born.

Oh, yes!

Seems like demon’s here now!

Covered by hair

While the girl was growing up

Her father’s dying

And her brother, he was killed

So much crying

Evil damnation

I met her and fell in love

 

Bridge 1:

Look into your eyes

What a great surprise

Perfect fascination.

Taste of velvet skin

Gentle mortal sin

Turning to obsession, but

Now I can’t stop to feel that

Something’s wrong

Spell of your damnation’s

Very strong

Sinful passion, no confession

Born to satisfy

Live within temptation

Until you will die, you will die!

 

Child of vice

Look in my eyes

No compromise

 

Bridge 2:

Spirits of the doom

Fly into your room

When the clock strikes midnight.

Past and future sins

No way to release

You won’t sleep till daylight.

Babe, I broke your spell —

Princess of my hell

Beautiful pretender.

Time for me to pray,

I’ll be far away

And I’ll never take you there.

Take your there!

Never-never take you there!

(Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

 

 

Myself

Selling out my future, loosing faith for your sake

Drifting to a state of total mess, is that your guess?
You don’t even know what I got myself through.
I cannot waste my time to help you stay on my way
I maybe got it wrong, but I don’t care. I won’t be there
You don’t even know what I got myself through.

I’m flying way too high,
You won’t get me unless I die.

Take it away from me
Cause I feel it’s getting under my skin to ruin me
Don’t make a toy of me
I’m not the fake plastic puppet you used to see
I know I made you up
You don’t exist in any essence in my life
Trails of clammy mud
Are running down your pathogenic false pride.

I will speak no more of my feelings
You have broken up my faith in every meaning
I will take it as far as it goes
I’ve been deluding myself with dreams you don’t know

Waking up that morning in the depths of sunbeams
I got the aftertaste of eating the rust of your dreams
I can’t stand it no more, can’t tolerate this!
Clouds of sticky fear are pressing my pain filled mind
Imprints of your love are still raping my life
I can’t stand it no more, can’t tolerate this!

I will speak no more of my feelings
You have broken up my faith in every meaning
I will take it as far as it goes
I’ve been deluding myself with dreams you don’t know.

 (Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

 

Mars One

 

Verse 1:

Hey! …We are space invaders

Great…galaxy crusaders

Now…it’s time to lift off

Go! … Keep all engines running

Up! … Ready for the flying

From…the planet called Earth

 

Verse 2:

Fly… through the endless cosmos

It’s… like a maze of notions

In…the city of stars

Start…hyper jump from here

Down…to the atmosphere

Of…the planet called Mars.

 

Bridge:

When you close your eyes

Try to realize

That infinity is too shot

Don’t give up, my friend

This is not the end

Just beginning of brand new giant leap for humanity.

Chorus 1:

This feeling tears me, breaks me, drives me insane

No matter how far we’ll roam

And it is very scary, hard to explain

We’ll never ever come back home.

 

Verse 3:

No! … Please don’t turn around

‘Cause…there is no more doubt

All… the burdens’ been gone

We… have a great ambition

And… ready for the mission

Which… is known as Mars One.

 (Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

 

Crystal Prison

 

 

Verse 1:

How do you feeling tonight

Inside my crystal prison?

There’s no better place to be found

There’s no any reason.

 

Verse 2:

It’s a rite of passage tonight

You are queen of the my kingdom

Do you really feeling alright

When you lost your velvet freedom?

 

Chorus:

 

Now you’re ready to die

Your spirit will fly

Fly straight to the Heaven.

And I’ll fly beside you

My dream will come true,

I’ll fly as a raven.

 

Verse 3:

So do you ready to fly

Outside my crystal prison?

I just wanna tell you goodbye

But I know there is no reason.

 

Bridge:

Clock is ticking on

From a moment you were born.

Chorus – 3 times.

Stop The Time

 

Verse I:

Time is passing by

It’s so simple thing, wonder why

We can’t turn it back

There’s no any way to ride or fly

I can lose my mind

When I think about a wheel of time

What needs to design

To slow down or stop this mystic one?

 

Bridge:

What a wonderful adventure

To get closer to Creator.

 

Chorus I:

Time… I’ll stop the time

All secrets of Universe forever will be mine

And I don’t mind

To see all these visions of divine!

 

Verse II:

I’ll fly across the Milky Way

I’ll fall into the wormhole.

To find the edge of time and space

And maybe something more

Between the future and the past

There is no any border

The speed of light is not too fast

That’s my own new world order

 

I won’t stop to try

‘Cause I don’t mind

To waste all my life to stop the time

 

Chorus II:

Time… I’ll stop the time

All secrets of Universe forever will be mine

And I don’t mind

To see all these visions of divine

 

So divine

Time… what is my time?

It’s when all the secretes will be only mine

And I don’t mind

To waste all my life to stop the time

 

Time… I’ll stop the time

All secrets of Universe forever will be mine

And I don’t mind

To see all these visions of divine!

The War Between Us

 

Verse I:
Familiar nightmare once again:
Their eyes (are) imploring.
I walk away from empty shells,
Left silence over .
Day after day through war routine
Soaked with anger
I see the shadows of my faith
And pull my trigger

Chorus I:
Driven!
By dream of home!
Let me live until it’s over!
Driven!
By dream of home!
Who (will) redeem my screaming soul?

Verse  II:
They told me we will bring them peace,
And something worthy
I cannot count how many pals
Will not return though

Bridge:
I see the them pray, I see them talk
The war between us
I see them care for what they love
The war between us (damn you, you fools)
The war between us!
(damn you,  you fools)
The war between us!

Chorus II:
Driven!
By dream of home!
Let me live until it’s over!
Driven!
By dream of home!
Who (will) redeem my screaming soul?

 

(Vyacheslav Zaitsev)

 

LEVEL COMPLETE

 

Verse I:

Run through dark streets to find that door –

I see the lights of war

I rushed their flank and called support –

I hear the heaven’s roar

No fear, no guilt, nobody’s fault –

Another strike assault

We shoot – they die, and then replay –

It’s only flat display!

Don’t you dare to remind me,

Don’t you dare (to) say I waste my time,

Sleepless nights cannot blind me

Endless hell of the scorching mind!

Chorus (repeat 2 times):

Who did this with our world?

Who switch it to false realm?

This level complete!

Verse II:

I’ve been here lots of times before –

Look for the prey of war,

This world was made to sell the hope –

Nobody wants to cope,

No guilt, no shame and no regrets!

Your time will not reset!

This endless game makes us insane –

Good bye, our human reign!

Don’t you dare to remind me,

Don’t you dare (to) say I waste my time,

Sleepless nights cannot blind me

Endless hell of the scorching mind!

Chorus: same.

Bridge:

This level complete!

Disgraceful defeat!

Next level complete!

Million Miles Away

 

Verse I:

Tonight I burned with wild desire

Like all of hundreds lonely sleepless nights before

My veins are tensioned as a wire

My brain is melted to flaming inner core

 

Bridge:

Alone!

She’s gone!

They say —

Away!

 

Chorus I:

Million miles away!

Years go by

When I die

Waiting for that day

Let my spirit fly to you

Million miles away

Never mind

I will find

Waiting for that day

Way to say my words to you!

Verse II:

The dawn has come and night is over

My window view is colored in sad shades of grey

Open my mind for deepest sorrow

To live this useless and ordinary day

 

Bridge, Refrain: same.

 

Years go by

Take the time

Waiting for my final day

Breaking bad

It’s so sad

You are million miles away!

(Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

 

Victoria (My Serenade)

 

Verse I:

Remember all that happened long ago

Victoria…

Forgive me I can’t take it anymore

Phobia…

Believe me please I cannot be the same

Victoria…

It seems to me my love became the pain

Euphoria!

 

Verse II:

 

I think about your indifference

Victoria

You didn’t care about my feelings

Who do you think you are?

Another night strikes as a lightening

That tears my heart apart

I play my serenade

For someone else tonight.

Bridge (2 times):

Nice and tiny

Nice and tiny

Melody

Oh, my darling

Princess charming

Come with me

 

Chorus:

Remember your tender kiss

That really turned me on

How can I forget your lips?

It’s temptation that I miss

I’m playing these tragic chords

Just think about the verse I wrote tonight

You never tell me such words

Never tell,

You never tell

Remember all that happened long ago…

 

(Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

 

Aqualand

 

Verse I:

Over the sea

Where waves are falling

Sail to the land

Where breeze is blowing

Stormbringer’s flight

Is so impressive

This dark night!

 

A flash of lightening

And thunder…

And thunder’s striking!

 

So we arrive

To territory

Of Aqualand —

A land of glory

It seems to me

That something is wrong

Can’t you see?

 

Chorus I:

Land of whales and dolphin

That calling

You never forget,

Final wave is falling

You’re drawing

Your lines in the sand that scattered,

Down to the abyss

Forget of mermaids,

No romantic events

And evenings

Please welcome

To Aqualand that falls.

 

Verse II:

Neptune falls down

He’s going crazy

His golden crown

Was so amazing

This stormy night

It’s almost over

Am I right?

 

A flash of lightening

And thunder…

And thunder’s striking!

 

Into the deep

Your kingdom’s falling

Don’t scream or weep

To stop this turning

Dolphin and whales

Already swam off

Far away

Chorus II:

Land of whales and dolphin

That calling

You never forget

Final wave is falling

You’re drawing

Your lines in the sand that scattered

Down to the abyss

Forget of mermaids

No romantic events

And evenings

Please welcome

To Aqualand that falls

 

The land of mermaids

And dolphin that calling

Your kingdom’s falling

A flash of lightening

And thunder…

And thunder’s striking

 

Acoustic interlude:

These evenings

You never forget

Final wave is falling

You’re drawing

Your lines in the sand that scattered

Down

You’re going

Down

You’re going deeper

And deeper, and deeper

You’re falling deeper

Deeper, and deeper, and deeper

To the end

Chorus III: same.

(Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

 

 

Comfort Me

 

 

Verse I:
I’m going back to the point
There are no feelings inside of me
I’ve lost my hope in the valley
Of deadly shadows and misery

Bridge I:
It doesn’t matter!
You care or not!
It doesn’t matter!(It seems no matter!)

Verse II:
I tried to find my way up
Pretending I have a pair of wings
Get over natures’ desire
To live my life just like others live.

Chorus I:
Comfort me,
Please, take me away from here,
To a place that is free from pain,
To a place that is free from pain.
Hopefulness,
I’m looking up to that place,
There is something that takes me there,
There is something that takes me there.

Bridge II:
I’m trying to get to you
Leaving this all behind
But something is holding me
Keeping me from your side
Why can’t I break-free these chains
Dragging me back to earth?
Please help me break-down these walls,
Settled around my soul.

Chorus II: same.

(Vyacheslav Zaitsev)

 

 

 

Affliction

 

Verse I:

When red giant meets white dwarf and they rotate

So much energy they’ve to accumulate

David and Goliath

Gathered for the fight

Doesn’t matter who is wrong and who is right

When the supernova’s flash breaks through the night

 

Chorus I:

Affliction

Since the beginning of the time

Infliction

We live until the star will die

Prediction

And when the giant will prevail

Affliction

It will be epic fail.

Bridge I:

Just one thing to be done

God save us from this one

 

Bridge II:

So much wonders in this strange Universe

There’s no power to remove (this) cosmic curse

 

Verse II:

When red giant swallows planets and expands

There are so much burning seas and melting lands

 

Chorus (3 times): same.

 

(Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

 

 

Never Say Good-Bye

 

Intro:

I called to say how much I miss you

So many years gone

A million words to find and lose them

While picking up the phone

 

Verse I:

Sometimes we have to keep on going

Keep going by and by

Don’t looking back over the shoulder

And never say good-bye

Too many faces all around me

Are flashed before my eyes

But only your face I remember

Is reason of my cries

 

Chorus I:

Due to circumstances

And whatever happens

Never ever say good-bye

Every Monday morning

Feel the events turning

The only day for us to try!

Due to circumstances

And whatever happens

Never ever say good-bye

Every Monday morning

Feel the events turning

I know, you know we have to try!

 

Verse II:

You didn’t think about me lost in

This God forsaken place

Oh, how I wish to fall straight down

Into your warm embrace

But something strange is going here

I really don’t know why

We have a chance to disappear

But never say good-bye.

 

Bridge:

You know you’ll try the road

The road about I told

The road that makes my cry

I called to say how much I miss you…

 

Chorus: same.

 

Outro:

I called to say how much I miss you…

A million words to find and lose them…

Куплет 1:
Однажды судный день,
Как зверь настигнет ваши души.
Всех тех, кто сквозь прицел
Смотрел на мир не самый лучший.
И острым жалом пронзит вас вердикт:
Герой тот, кто убит,
Всех прочих будет ждать расправа.

Плати за всё,
Раз уцелел
Под грудой брошенных тел.
Плати за всё,
Твой тяжек грех
Для мёртвых и калек!
Припев:
Неважно кем ты был –
Виновен!
Спасал или губил –
Виновен!
Лишь выполнял приказ –
Виновен!
Настал расплаты час –
Виновен!

Куплет 2:
Ты вырвался вперёд
В погоне за своей мечтою,
Но только твой поход
Окрашен слишком свежей кровью.
Будешь раздавлен безумной толпой.
И пусть ты выиграл бой,
В смертельной схватке нету правил.

Плати за всё,
Раз уцелел
Под грудой брошенных тел.
Плати за всё,
Твой тяжек грех.

 

Припев:
Неважно кем ты был –
Виновен!
Спасал или губил –
Виновен!
Лишь выполнял приказ –
Виновен!
Настал расплаты час –
Виновен!

Прометей

 

Куплет 1:
Время иллюзий прошло,
Кто ты и с кем – всё равно,
Мир полон грязи и лжи,
Действуй — бей первым или беги!

Бридж:
Над бездной мост
Оставь волнам,
Осколки звёзд
Брось к ногам,
Не упусти
Свой последний шанс,
Забудь мечты,
Живи здесь и сейчас!

Припев: 
Ты против системы,
Один во всей вселенной,
Сломавший границы,
Свободный словно птица!
Куплет 2:
В шкуре овечьей волком притворяться устал,
Но быть собой нелегко в королевстве зеркал.
И у последней черты
Всё потерять рискуешь ты!

Не зная запретов,
Законов и сюжетов,
Быть может сумеешь
Стать новым Прометеем.

Припев: 
Ты против системы,
Один во всей вселенной,
Сломавший границы,
Свободный словно птица!

Бридж:

I CAN DO IT AGAIN (2018)

 

Labyrinth

Verse 1:

Beyond the mystical horizon
Where shooting star breaks through the space down
I see the fire of high tower
Amidst the darkness all around

Evil turn
I have to learn
To discern
Bonfire burns

 
Verse 2:
Between two towers up the clouds
Walk through the gates of wood and steel sticks
Into the labyrinth of wonders
These walls were built without bricks

Wood and steel
I feel your fear
Up the hill
To kill

Chorus:

Never ending maze
Dead end walls of concrete
Built of extra hardest monolith
Out of haze
And enjoy the journey
Through the Minotaur’s labyrinth

 

Verse 2:

Inside your galleries and chambers
I’m not your prey and I will crush you
Barehanded one without sabers
Armed just by Ariadne’s clew

Chorus: same

Night Rider

 

Verse 1:

Nightfall
And it feels like nothing to lose
Phone call
And it seems like I am confused

Pick up
And then I am sitting in your car
Don’t stop
And please drive me to the night bar

Bridge:

Don’t call to ask me where I’ve gone
Need to be alone

 

Chorus:

No matter what you do
He goes ahead of you
Night rider
No matter what I say
You better ride your way
Away

Verse 2:

So close
But it seems I’ll never be there
My ride
Will lead me straight down to nowhere

Chorus: same

 

(Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

I Can Do it Again

 

Verse 1:

I’m crying , looking at the future

I’m trying not to call your name

I feel you, sense you all around

But killing you could rid me of pain

 

Chorus 1:

I was never a praying boy

But god knows I gave you all my love

Now I doubt I could do it again

 

Verse 2:

I trusted you, gave my word to you

I kept the faith. My conscience is clear

You could not, so ending it all

And leaving you might ease my pain

 

Chorus 2: same

 

 

Bridge:

I could kill you

Or not

I could kill you

Why not

 

Verse 3:

This trouble, this situation

Has happened like it’s preordained

Nervous breakdowns change everybody

I’m begging you to please stop the pain

 

Chorus 3:

I’ll turn into a praying boy

‘Cause god knows I’ll give you all my love

And I know I can do it again

(Vladimir Shubin)

 

 

Sleepwalker

 

Verse 1:

A waking dream and guilty lie, they have too much in common

‘Cause their fake visions can betray

I chased the foreign sims in vain, my saints turn out fallen

Illusions took me far away

Lost and despaired I still try again

 

Chorus 1: 

Sleepwalker…

I often made mistakes before

Was broken

It means nothing anymore

I woke up from a dream

You don’t know what I’ve seen

When I wandered in the mirrors

It’s time for heroes, heroes

Who don’t win

 

Verse 2:

You think I should like a bluntbrute just mate and fight forever

I hate to stay within these frames

The sick society sets the rules to keep atits own level

I will not play their stupid games

Open your eyes and help me break the chains

 

Chorus 2: 

Sleepwalker…

I often made mistakes before

Was broken,

But it means nothing anymore

I woke up from a dream

You don’t know what I’ve seen

Prisoner in a maze of black mirrors

It’s time for heroes, heroes

Who don’t win

 

Bridge:

You are the queen of pathos

It stands between us

But we can bring more chaos

In this world of glass

 

Chorus 2: same

In Vino Veritas

 

 

Verse 1:

Hello again, my dear friend

Very glad to see you

What are you drinking?It’s absinth

You’re in trouble, aren’t you?

Please let me sit in front of you

Let me hear your story

What are you talking? It’s absurd

You are so much drunk

 

  

Chorus 1:

Your life is falling apart

You’re not immortal

Everything’s drowning

 At the bottom of the bottle

In vino veritas

So forget your problems

Everything’s burning

To the bones

           

Verse 2:

Farewell forever, dear friend

Very sad to leave you

Why are you laughing?It’s the end

I will bury you

 

Chorus 2: same

Dancing Spirits

 

Verse 1:

Did you ever hear the legend scaring people for years?

If you didn’t-off the light and I will tell you the story

It’s about the married couple haunted by their own fears,

Love that conquered death

And became their glory

 

Once upon a time the young lord and his lady lived here

In the castle on the rock between the sky and the ocean

No one knows what really happened but they both disappeared

Many years ago

Since that time…

           

Chorus 1:           

In the halls

Through the walls

They are flying free

Dancing waltz

Silently

Every night

In the castle

They died

 

Verse 2:

Many other people tried to visit this cursed estate

I’m the only one who was there and I found all the answers

Learned about the mystic reason of their tragical fate

Really wonder why

Since that time…

 

Chorus 2: 

In the halls

Through the walls

They are flying free

Dancing waltz

Silently

Every night

Ghostly flight

Between death and life

 

Bridge:

Passed away but stay together

In the castle they died

Their dance will last forever

Every single night

Since that time…

 

Chorus 2:  same (2 times)    

 

(Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

 

 One More Day

 

Verse 1:

You have no place 
In the rat race 
Here everyone runs for the dust 
But nothing lasts forever, life goes too fast 

The illusion left behind 
Once too often makes you suffer, suffer 
All you need is to survive 

Chorus 1: 

Just one more day 
Became insane 
No time to die 
You must defy 
Break the taboo 
Let fears come true 
Lead the rat race 
To fight the system face-to-face 

Verse 2:

Your soul is lost 
For a small cost 
But you still have your burning heart 
The only light remaining deep down inside 

Many never wanna see 
Getting out of the darkness, darkness 
And white lie can set you free 

Chorus 2: same

 

 (Andrew Alogrin)

 

 

 

Blackout

 

 

Verse 1:

Broken teeth and broken hearts will can’t stop the mad crowd

The smell of blood is calling

Everyone who they don’t like will be destroyed right now

Insight will come this morning

 

Pre-chorus:

New witch hunters, new repression

Someone else’s pain brings pleasure

No hope, no control

Where is your soul?

 

Chorus 1: 

Don’t rush… Don’t rush and take look around

It’s just… It’s just another blackout

The sun will soon rise

But at what price

 

Verse 2:

Memory is just a trap and time goes by a spiral

Changes are too slow

Our world’s again submerged into a suicidal

Information war

 

Chorus 2: same

Pre-chorus: same

Chorus 3: same

 

(Andrew Alogrin)

 

 

 

Devil’s Game

 

 

Verse 1:

Through the desert
Of this holy state
Common people call this place Nevada
As a guepard
Conquering the land
Fast and violent like the Great Armada

Bridge:

Afellowfrom Kentucky
I see the light
I hope I will be lucky
Tonight

Verse 2:

Vegas calling
Sea of neon lights
Let me learn to swim among the dolphins
Wheel is rolling
Dolphin turns to shark
Taking off the mask

Chorus:

Play the Devil’s game
Roulette is spinning faster
For your disaster
Play
Another day is coming
Until you’re trying
Play until the dawn
Alone

Verse 3:

One-armed bandits
That surround me
Are like aliens from the distant planet
Like a rabbit
Swallowed by the snake
Is it true or fake?

Chorus: same

Pre-coda:

On and on
Game is on
Play until the dawn
All night long
Alone
A place where you belong
I need more
More and more
Bet on red and black
Playing for
Win back

Coda:

Play the Devil’s game
Roulette is spinning faster
For your disaster
Play
Another day is coming
Until you’re trying
Play
Roulette is spinning faster
For your disaster
Play
Another day is coming
Until you’re trying
Play until the dawn

(Bogdan Vasyliev)

 

 

 

Get Over Crisis

 

Verse 1:

The global order is lost

And souls are sold at their cost

The need turns into the sin

But silence can be a crime

When someone crosses the line

Don’t let them steal your woundeddream

 

Chorus 1:

Get over crisis

No compromises

Get over crisis

Don’t be blind

Get over crisis

While the rate rises

Get over crisis

In your mind

 

Verse 2:

The pyramids cheme will crash

No matter if you have cash

There is no flying from fate

Financial pressure and fear

Go hand in hand even here

Before it’s too late

 

Chorus 2:

Get over crisis

No compromises

Get over crisis

Don’t be blind

Get over crisis

While the rate rises

Get over crisis

In your mind

 

(Andrew Alogrin)
