Текст песни Александр Мирзаян - Зачем, живя не так, как ты хотел...

After the "Triptych"

Why, living not the way you wanted,
saying to himself, "The unknown is near,"
trying to break your limit
and you scatter the darkness of things?

Among the pages are not the best of people
do not torment the vision of truths
and locking many doors
look, learn how everything is decided by chance.

And in the dark tripling my gaze
passing through the smoke of a platonic cave,
just make sure the unsteadiness of the supports,
without gaining either reason or faith.

And confusing the tradition of antiquity,
and young men telling tales
you won't open the song of silence
and you won’t show - spreading the ligaments -

great words in your mouth do not carry,
seeing things without a name
but you are ready to save yourself
squeezing on time in handfuls
their great callings:

mermaid spread your tail
and you breathe in every breath
and you build a bridge over yourself.
And in the sand you draw knowledge.
