The Vale of Sorrow (Lyrics)
Through the crowd’s joyless movement, past the gloomy castles
past the time-worn walls mutilated by time, like in a nightmare
fully dissolved by the earthly woes
following my destiny, I‘m walking away from my miseries
There’s a pointing finger at my shoulder, all withered,
of the horrible old woman dragging along after me for years and years
invisible to the others, she whispers unsettling words into my ear
for many years already, their meaning is haunting my mind
"Reject, all your sufferings, cast them aside, stay in my hands.
Console yourself, let the universe’s bones grow cold.
The hands of your rulers are covered with gold
The mouths of your prophets are filled with stench and with blood
The sun of your kingdom is on the decline
It’s time to go, get away from this vale of sorrow
Oh sorrow, do sing my farewell hymn about the void land
May the houses burn down of poor families doomed to always be hungry
May they break their backs working so hard for leftovers from rich men’s meals
May hordes of rats fill the heartless town with plague
Show me another way, free me from the bondage of earthly chains,
Lead me, old wife
May the son perish in the scorching-hot furnace of a war waged for someone’s pride
May the mother bring the silver of her bitter tears to the grave mound
May spite, agony and wickedness be established within human souls
Show me another way, free me from the bondage of insane dreams
Lead me, old wife
Recorded in December 2020 at the MOD Club, Saint-Petersburg, Russia.
