Paroles de Doomed

[music A. Tselobenok, lyrics by A. Afonchenko ]

When age fell
Upon the world,

And wonder went out of the minds of men;
When grey cities
Reared to smoky skies,
Tall towers grim and ugly, in these shadow none might

Dream of the sun or of Spring's flowering meads;
When learning stripped the Earth of her mantle
Of beauty and poets
Sang no more of twisted phantoms

Have seen
With bleared and
Inward looking eyes;
When these things had come to pass,
And childish hopes had gone forever,

There were a people who traveled out
Of life on a quest into spaces
Whither world's dreams had fled.
But those who has remained, were doomed to death.
And making him a part of their fabulous wonder.
