about

I set off early on my way from the Tree of the Worlds. In distant ages I thought that there was only one world, but it turned out that there were more. More worlds and times, and once I realized this, I saw myself in these worlds. Then I touched all the worlds, just like the sun touches the branches of trees with the evening rays. Day became night and night became day. And I was there - standing between them all, mouth agape.

Nonetheless, I decided that by evening I wanted to have traversed all the roads that started at that tree. I thought that before the sun sets, I would have traversed all the roads. I swore that by the evening I would have visited all the worlds. And find, at last, my heart's desire. Yet when the evening came, I saw that again I was at the Tree of the Worlds and that all the roads and worlds and times sprang from the roots of that tree.

I realized that what a long and meandering road lay ahead. Thus, I watered my Dragon at the Lake of Clouds and Rainbows and after a short rest I ordered Him to be in every minute at every place. Yet I couldn't find my heart's desire. Then the Dragon and I stayed in every minute at every place, yet I didn't want to stay for too long. I thought I heard a voice - "Stranger, where do you come from?" But then silence fell and time dragged by so I ordered the swift-moving sun to dip in the west. And all the Worlds obeyed. and twilight grew dark. Yet I couldn't find my heart's desire.

lyrics

I set off early on my way
from the Tree of the Worlds

by evening I wanted
to have traversed all the roads

all the roads that started at that tree
and find, at last, my heart’s desire

I watered my Dragon
at the Lake of Clouds and Rainbows

I ordered Him to be
in every minute at every place

yet I couldn't find,
couldn't find my heart's desire

I stayed in every minute at every place
yet I didn't want to stay for too long

so I ordered the swift-moving sun to dip in the west
yet I couldn't find, couldn't find my heart's desire

I tied Dragon's reigns to the Tree of the Worlds
I heard the Thunder God warning me
Telling me it's not easy to find one's heart's desire

The Rain, The Thunder opened Heaven’s gate
and some Entity eyed me churlishly
Oh, all the worlds and times were really angry with me

That's what it's like
when you don't find your heart's desire

All the roads disappeared
My Dragon died of thirst

Clouds and Rainbows vanished
I spent no minute at no place

I heard the Thunder God laughing at me
And Veles took away my magic

in the dark
in the wait
I saw
my heart's desire

All the roads disappeared. My Dragon died of thirst.
Clouds and Rainbows vanished. I spent no minute at no place. I heard the Thunder God laughing at me. And Veles took away my magic. So I couldn't order the swift-moving sun to dip in the west. I stayed in no minute at no place and I didn't stay for too long. All the roads disappeared. My Dragon died of thirst. I spent no minute at no place. Clouds and Rainbows vanished. I heard the Thunder God laughing at me.And Veles took away my magic.
