lyrics

Just like a deathly ill man rises from his bed
To see the dawn and sunrise one last time
So rose that morning with its morbid light,
Rather an eerie glow from fevered stagnant clouds.

The day is Twentieth of March; the Equinox.
Long gone are snows from dusty streets and alleys,
Instead they're overwhelmed by a depleted palette
Of the unvaried brown and grey. And like

Dry leaves and litter in the wind,
The people are drifting aimlessly around
With their faces out blank. Just once
I've seen the curdled scream in someone's eyes.

The air is thick with the exhausted expectations,
Uneasiness and grief, but fear is all but gone:
We have been waiting for so long
That terror has mutated into longing.

And echoed from the many hundred walls,
A dismayed voice from speakers on the poles
Recites like some kind of a bitter prayer
The words that all of us have learnt by heart:

"The book of days is finished,
and the epilogue is nigh,
And we shall see its last words soon
Transcribed across the skies..."

"The equinox arrived", will read the ending line.
One final irony - so grim. And so divine...
