Torture your body with a heart-wrenching knife
Torture your body with a heart-wrenching knife
Clamp your liberal fingers till they bleed
Indulgently licking lollipops

Stuffing pockets deliberately
Full of dead rodents and live *****
Chocolates, holy substance
Descend upon the mortal land

In the patriarchal landfill of obsolete concepts
Used figures and polite words
Annihilation through suicide -
Annihilation through suicide!

Pitying laughter, cold as frost
Pitying laughter, cold as frost
Pitying laughter, cold as frost
Setting gloriously, on, on, on -

Perverse geography
Spelling of hatred
Apology for ineptitude
Legend of optimism

Code of honor for righteous Howitzers
Noble feast of utter prudence
"Abyss" from a baby's mouth
"Bullet" from a baby's mouth

Pitying laughter, cold as frost
Pitying laughter, cold as frost
Pitying laughter, cold as frost
Setting gloriously, on, on, on -

Like man - meaningless art
A noose - revered art
Roasted apples - global art
A timely departure - an art

And the art of being a bystander
And the art of being a bystander

A new way to clean your oven
For those who suffocated in free will
A new way to scrub your noose
For the funny smell on their neck

The latest way to find the culprit
The latest way to find the culprit

Oblivion - behind the open door
Means someone's coming for you
Means you're important to someone
Important, still

It snows, and snows
Snow flutters upon Russian expanses
Men buried with eyes sealed
Men buried with newspapers wrapped

And yet, it comes to the calf slaughtered
Became everyone's joy and everyone's pride
Everyone's hatred, everyone's will
Everyone's will, and everyone's last days

Bury your body in your grave
Truth behind inheritance of land
What do we mean by inheritance?
Means our patience is running out!

As will be shown, through a pervert's opening -
The keyhole - unrivalled genius
Started the Second World War
Earth's unofficial belly-button
Porcelain inside the mental system

Volunteers out of instinct
In the name of the cosmos and bread crumbs
With the People, capitalized -
The word "People", capitalized!

Swastikas fly, faces stiff
Words of Babylon, never fade
A means once legitimate is
Now annexing our lands

Isn't this exactly what we need?
Isn't this exactly what we need?
Isn't this exactly what we need?

Unavoidably, children wake up
Disease-less, filth-less
Corresponding objects with their true names
Sowing seeds of good, reason, and eternity

Everything seeded, everything named
Food served in a mannered fashion
The first - fruits of knowledge
The second - a boy dripping blood

Lord of Law and Order, victorious
Lord Paramount of Terror in red
Legal holidays for legal citizens
Honed scythe for precocious ears

The Abyss - according to the principle
Of movement towards the Sun
Do not shed tears above your porridge, no


...


Then who had their lives taken in the last battle?
And who died for the slip of a genius?
And who poured their glass full of pity
For that savage battle in Stalingrad?

Planes crash, grinning
Into hills of the Promised Land
Into hills of the Promised Land

And of my love - free her I will
From the inevitable pain
****** her with ginger cakes
**** her with a drunken boot
String her upon the clouds
A child - an unloved doll!

Pitying laughter, cold as frost
Pitying laughter, cold as frost
Pitying laughter, cold as frost
Setting gloriously, on, on, on -

With the scent of oil -
Eternally
