lyrics

At first it was all darkness then the pain arrived
And only then the other feelings came to be
I lied face-down on the cobble stones
Unable to move with all my limbs gone numb
Somebody touched my shoulder, and I turned to look.
And saw her right away: crouched by my side,
Was that familiar thin woman with a hairless head,
Who looked at me in sympathetic expectation,
And in her eye there wasn't any threat.

'I know who you are', I think I've said,
'You've come to take me, right?' she shook her head,
Then helped me to stand up. I looked around -
The bridge again. Where would I go from here?
Ahead, behind - the barrage of the towers,
That seems to dam the future horrors - for a while...
But what if I am their herald now indeed,
If ever I can find my way out of this city?
Perhaps, I'd better not... Perhaps I stay within...

...She touched my shoulder once again. I turned around
And saw her smiling. Slowly she has raised
Her arm to sky and opened up her palm.
As if obeying her, the clouds parted, to reveal
A dazzling river of the stars, crossed by
A comet. 'Do you think', I guess I've heard,
'The Wanderer that wades the Milky Way,
Can ripple it? No, it will remain undisturbed.
The comets pass, the stars are always there'.

Was my companion really saying that?
I don't think she had open up her lips
The questions swarmed inside my head, unable
To break outside. I wanted her to tell me,
What must I do, but knew she wouldn't say.
Unyielding... I must be unyielding, to prevail,
To find the way out and to leave behind
This city's taint that has my soul begrimed.
On Equinox the The Bridge of Stars' goes straight from North to South
I only hope tonight it will be able to lead me out.
