Chronos

1. Nash put' vo mrake,
Ne znaesh', chto v tumane pryachetsya,
Bredem my v strahe,
I smert' nam izbavlen'em kazhetsya...

Tol'ko etot svet v konce tonelya
Nam zazheg otnyut' ne bog...
Zrya, svyatosha, straha ty ne vedal,
Zastupaya za porog...

No chto zhe eto, ne raj i ne ad...
Tol'ko chto-to, bezumec, ty begstvu ne rad?

Ya sizhu zdes' stol'ko let
--- Ran'she chem rodilsya bog ---
Lozh'yu pichkali tebya!
--- Podvedi itog! ----
V strahe vydumav bogov
--- I satanu ---
Predo mnoyu merknet ad,
--- Tvoyu dushu ya voz'mu! ----

2. Pust' byl slepcom ty,
Ne vedal, kto pod maskoj pryachetsya,
Mne imya Hronos,
A ty dumal kto zdes' vdrug okazhetsya?

Vidish' li von tu nit' zhizni?
Ee obladatel' Bog...
Zrya, svyatosha, straha on ne vedal,
Zastupaya za porog...

Detskie skazki, tvoj ad i tvoj raj...
Nu-ka, bezumec, shagni cherez kraj!

Ya sizhu zdes' stol'ko let
--- Perezhil ya sto mirov ---
Eto mesto-pustota!
--- Podvedi itog! ----
Skoro ya ub'yu bogov
--- I satanu ---
A potom otpravlyus' spat',
--- No ih dushi ya voz'mu! ----

3. Nash mir vo mrake,
I ne znaesh', chto v tumane pryachetsya,
Zhivem my v strahe,
I smert' nam izbavlen'em kazhetsya...

Tol'ko kto to zhdet apokalipsis,
Kto-to hochet umeret'...
Kto-to hochet zhit' v elejnom carstve,
Vechno zhit' i ne staret'...

Bog ty il' smertnyj, prijdesh' ty ko mne...
Chto tolku vertet' krest, chto na spine?

Ya sizhu zdes' stol'ko let
--- I teper' podvel itog:---
Nadoel mne etot bred,
--- Satana i Bog! ----
Povernu ya strelki vspyat'
--- I togda otdohnu ---
Budet lish' vselenskij hlad,
--- Vashi dushi ya voz'mu! ----
