Текст песни Defiant - Черная река

Day after day - step by step
Only a moment in the universal clock
For a short beat of the heart, an eyelid sweeps past
And in the fast running of the year
Rush to the black distance
Where no man has ever been before

As sand leaks quietly in the hourglass
So our life flows, not subject to the laws of others
Despite everything, the inevitable finale is coming
A day when all dreams turn into ghostly smoke

Far away, like darkness is deep
Days and years are carried away by the river
And they swim to eternity, drawn by black water
There are no sources for this river
Its shores are so far
What is lost there, in impenetrable darkness, another shore

We do not believe in separation until that time comes
When the shadows of people dissolve there far away
A man from his shoulders will throw a heavy burden of life
And set off on a long journey to the black bottomless river

On its rocky shores
Forgetting bitterness and fear
And you will see the shadows of those who have gone into the foggy distance
And you hear their voices
And you look close in your eyes
And the river will carry pain and sorrow into the abyss of eternity

So there is no parting - there is a huge meeting
As if someone suddenly embraces us in the dark by the shoulders
And full of darkness, and full of darkness and peace
We all stand together over the silent black river

Why is it so painful to lose those we love so much
And the soul is washed with blood, losing peace
And close people go into eternal silence
Well, we can only endure this terrible pain
