lyrics

Alkonost and Sirin

What do I see in weird dreams,
My visions loreleian,
Where do I fold my wings
To rest on solid air, and
How do I paint my sadness white,
What is it that I am seeing
Through rips of lightnings in the night --
Alkonost and Sirin.

What do I see in weird dreams
Oracular and maddening,
Nameless gods are praised in hymns
And make me pledge my maiden ring
To wider circles of nothingness
That call me off, that call me in,
What is to hold me on this earth?
It's Alkonost and Sirin.

Waves rise high, trumpets call,
The wrath of the archangels
Threatens to destroy us all,
Who shields us from the danger?
Who hangs our poor souls to dry,
Who beats cold steel with silver,
Who brews the mead of youthful rhymes?
It's Alkonost and Sirin.

Aurora maiden of the dawn
Is keen on timeward sailing,
Through dire storms she steers on,
Unscathed and unwavering,
We can but wait, and waiting's hard,
While she is set on steering,
Who cheers up a yearning heart?
It's Alkonost and Sirin.

Sisters gentle, brothers strong,
To whom my heart breaks open,
My passions flowing along
The lines of words unspoken,
My shining-through, my crystal dreams
Shielded from the winter frost
By the fragile wonder of your wings,
Sirin and Alkonost...
