lyrics

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
