Прости [Prosti] [English translation]

In silence, step by step

I’m going after the silence.

Everything has passed,

and there are only fatigue and peace left in my soul...

Night dreams are broken, the battlefield is covered with ashes, and smoke is streaming through the tired words.

One is whispering so quietly some prayers,

weaving the lace of black shadows.

And all the bridges are burning in fire,

there are no survivors in this war of mine.

Forgive me for every moment

of my meaningless victories.

Forgive me for being alive,

for still remembering you.

Forgive me for that short path,

wait, please…

I beg you, don't leave,

stay with me yet for a little while.

Somewhere nearby

the night of helpless lights is silently fading out.

And the emptiness is coming to me,

and I'm following her1.

I’m approaching the edge,

erasing pain from my memory with obedient flame.

After all, I don’t know what death is. I don’t know anything.

I just see the light and I want to get burned away in it.

Let all the bridges get burned in fire,

there are no survivors in this war of mine.

Forgive me for every moment

of my meaningless victories.

Forgive me for being alive,

for still remembering you.

Forgive me for that short path,

wait, please…

I beg you, don't leave,

stay with me yet for a little while.
