Gods Don’t Take Calls
I carry with me only what is mine My mother's love and the silent power of my name I carry with me only what is mine My rising voice to heaven And the spark of mystery entrusted to me And still I seek the hidden truths of things To know why time runs To know why rivers always seek the sea I feel that from a distant star someone watches me with kind eyes For love is a child who plays with the stars Is a child who always plays alone I entrust my voice to the winds To send it far and further away To cross lands and destinies And let the storms echo my name I carry with me only what is mine My mother's love and the silent power of my name I carry with me only what is mine My rising voice to heaven And the spark of mystery entrusted to me I don't know the way and where I stand On which bridge or ship, in sight of what land Maybe the herons are hidden behind the clouds Maybe plum blossoms hide beyond the mist Maybe my fate is to float forever, suspended in time Between sea and sky With no land in sight, with no wings to fly For love is a child who plays with the stars A child who plays alone I carry with me only what is mine My mother's love and the silent power of my name I carry with me only what is mine My rising voice to heaven And the spark of mystery entrusted to me (Entrusted to me) I carry with me only what is mine My mother's love and the silent power of my name I carry with me only what is mine My rising voice to heaven And the spark of mystery entrusted to me Entrusted to me

The cathedrals of the West Are just shelters for crows Their spires have fallen down And no more speak to the sky Let's open our sails, leave the twilight behind, and head east (Now satanic orders) Where the sun raises its torch with might to forge the hours and the days (Call for war) Where time slows down and daylight lingers for age in the sky (Time has come) Where time slows down, time slows down and wisdom can flow again (Flow again) Wе forged the weapons that shеll the seasons and silence dreams (Dreams) That rip the swarm of stars from children’s hands (Children's hands) Weapons that erase a mother's burning screams (Screams) The long flight of herons on tailwinds and wandering clouds We have erased history Torn the sky apart And gods don’t take calls The gods have changed their number and don't take calls So we drift away, trust the wind, and sail east We leave behind the crumbling walls of Babylon and Sodom The steady march of dying souls, and sail east The last children of a dying day (Of a dying day) Now that Prometheus has let go the flame (The flame) Reaching for a glimmer on the horizon line (On the horizon line) We sail east, we sail to find the sun again (Sun again) No gold, no jade Only the scent of jasmine and roses No banners, no glory Just the willows bending in the wind We seek a hidden door, a passage, an open wound in time To press our sails through the oceans and tides Following stars and routes unknown to sailors, unknown to sailors So, we leave the sunset fading, and sail east Let's open our sails, leave the twilight behind, and head east (Now) Where time slows down, time slows down and wisdom can flow again (Flow again) The last children of a dying day (Of a dying day) Now that Prometheus has let go the flame (Go the flame) Reaching for a glimmer on the horizon line (On the horizon line) We sail east, we sail to find the sun again (Sun again) The last children of a dying day (Of a dying day) Now that Prometheus has let go the flame (The flame) Reaching for a glimmer on the horizon line (On the horizon line) We sail east, we sail to find the sun again (Sun again)

It's time to call the depths of the oceans to the witness stand It's time to summon the relentless turn of the seasons For humanity always fights its own demons and always loses At the last leg humanity is always at a loss And what can I say about myself? I, who raise unanswered questions I am a son of a painful century Plagued by lies and mediocrity Forced to write words that no one reads Sit next to me now Let's talk about dreams; In this way, maybe we'll find our way home Away from these suspended souls Doomеd to dance forever on thе Titanic I want death to find me still alive When she decides to blow on my door I love the storm and the waves crashing on distant shores The hibiscus hedges, the Russian plains And everything that flows I cherish freedom, the visions of dreamers And all that rises in the madness of the wind And every time we leave and then come back In the eternal rite of blooming and withering Like the tidal flows, just like wars That end and begin again, always at a loss God of breezes and endless horizons Guide me where the hibiscus blooms To docks steeped in grease Spices, hopes, and nameless loves Away from these standing waters Where the Titanic sinks again with its ghosts I want death to find me still alive When she decides to blow on my door I love the storm and the waves crashing on distant shores The hibiscus hedges, the Russian plains And everything that flows I cherish freedom, the visions of dreamers And all that rises in the madness of the wind I love the storm and the waves crashing on distant shores The hibiscus hedges, the Russian plains I cherish freedom

I do not know how we will get out of this war Maybe as transitional beings, hybrid realities or simply machines And maybe we won't remember our name Oh brother, let's get away from this noisy crowd There are still ships sailing to Byzantium And caravans moving in silence Towards Chang'an, towards Chang'an Bad preachers come screaming from the west side They talk about nothing to a crowd of lotus eaters Heroes are chased away, no one can raise the sword Oh brother, let’s get away from this declining world Wise kings and warriors lift up new empires To heaven, to heaven, to heaven Rivers still flow along the Asian plains Where the sky begins and ends and begins again Everything runs with winds and rains Everything ends at the gates of Chang'an Just a prospect on the horizon and the wind behind us Swaying along the changing course of things And along the highlands We follow the phoenix in flight between harmony and perfection We seek our brothers and sisters We seek our ourselves in another dimension Because we are all connected to the sun We are Zenith and Nadir and we are always on the run Restless souls always looking for something We are once again on the way to Chang'an Rivers still flow along the Asian plains Where the sky begins and ends and begins again Everything runs with winds and rains Everything ends at the gates of Chang'an Rivers still flow along the Asian plains Where the sky begins and ends and begins again Everything runs with winds and rains Everything ends at the gates of Chang'an Rivers still flow along the Asian plains Where the sky begins and ends and begins again Everything runs with winds and rains Everything ends at the gates of Chang'an

(Hoist your sails once more) You who look beyond the oceans, sending words to the breezes (Face the East, no surrender) You who drag your destiny, looking back sometimes (Stand your ground and fight) You who chase a way, you who cross the lines (You who cross the lines) You who dream, you who still dream Like wanderers on winding roads With our gaze we seek blessings As small flowers at the edge of the path Searching for the secret of wind and light Along the inclined plane of time Like trees that sway in the storm Bending some words to the sky Fight, fight Cast your banners to the waves Cling to the heroes' chariot of light Rise again and again like a phoenix Stay human, stay human You who look beyond the oceans, sending words to the breezes (Hoist your sails once more) You who drag your destiny, looking back sometimes (Face the East, no surrender) You who chase a way, you who cross the lines (Stand your ground and fight) You who cross the lines You who dream It doesn't matter if we fall Now machines and algorithms Have sealed the clouds and the herons In dark rags adrift The harp of life will sing again We shall return like the sun and rain As blades of grass, as blooming flowers As roses among the roses Doesn't matter if we fall We are children of this strange world A tangle of laughter and tears A dance among the losses and gains Cast your banners to the waves Cling to the heroes' chariot of light Rise again and again like a phoenix Stay human, stay human (Hoist your sails once more) You who look beyond the oceans, sending words to the breezes (Face the East, no surrender) You who drag your destiny, looking back sometimes (Stand your ground and fight) You who chase a way, you who cross the lines (You who cross the lines) Fight, fight You who look beyond the oceans, sending words to the breezes (Face the East, no surrender) Looking back sometimes (Fight) You who cross the lines You who dream You who dream You who dream

Time has dragged your ship in dark nights without dreams Where the birds do not sing and the clouds are silent ghosts Time has touched your heart Your memories lost in far cities And your most beautiful words (With a breath dispersed in dust) Far beyond the waves in a starless empty space The morning never comes to chase the darkness away Come into my arms, come into my arms My caress is gentle as dew on the leaves Come into my arms, find on my breast The loving smile of your long lost mother Always dreaming of a wind to raise your worn sails Always waiting for a wind to return to your land Always dreaming of a wind to raise your worn sails To return to your land Far beyond the waves in a starless empty space The morning never comes to chase the darkness away Come into my arms come into my arms My caress is gentle as dew on the leaves Come into my arms, find on my breast The loving smile of your long lost mother
