Nevertheless -

Endless rails

Empty space

The train is hurtling through the night and I’m alone in empty coach

Light spots run away, then new ones approach from the dark

From the dark

So it was

I was heading to the strange city of the midnight sun

Can I leave my inner hell, or it is just aimless run?

But for now just the road exists

Plains that covered with mist

And the rattle of tireless wheels

And no more me

Heil the nordic city

I’m right here in front of you

The old emperor Peter

Accept my challenge, assuage my throe

But these bold words left untold

And the city was so cold

And beyond expression beautiful

But there is no place for the exile

Roaming in the maze of

Narrow streets and well courtyards

I was waiting for a sign

How to calm my weary heart

But the world around was quiet

And my cry left unrequited

All the things were passing me by

Who can ever hear the silent cry?

Afternoon I saw my death

Arrogant and confident

Strolling leisurely in the crowd on the far side of the street

Crimson patterns in my eyes

And the chill from the other side went down the spine

At the sunset I went down

Almost ready to give up

But salvation came from an orchestra which was playing in the park

Half-forgotten retro tune

Caught me with the lulling croon

And it blew my soul beyond the horizon

Still alive

In the deep of night I find myself still alive

I don’t know why

Is this a second chance of just unkind jibe?

An opportunity

To fix everything that someone granted to me

Could it be?

Or just wanton prolongation of the agony?

Though my soul was torn apart

And my ego’s skin is sloughed

I left there a piece of heart

But it does not matter now

For now just the road exists

Uncertain future in the mist

And the wrath of hunted beast

But not pain

Wonders that I have to see

'til I meet my destiny

No more me but nevertheless

Here I am
