You paint with fire on your mirage

Вера Дроздова
1. Fool, how could you lose the Devil’s bet?
You look – then your king is burnt to death
Death – and his soul flies away to hell,
And flame – is an endless carousel

2. King, will your spirit find eternal peace?
Oh, why are you coming back with blaze?
There, to the castle where you died before
To flames you will come again, once more

Refrain:
You paint with fire on your mirage
At the door of dying
You paint with fire on your mirage
Time after time

3. Night, let the cruel game of darkness last
Oh King, the whole palace turns to dust
There – just a second and your life is through
Your fool – he is making fun of you

4. Days, many days have passed into the dark,
At dusk king’s wildfire is racing up,
Heat – tongues of flame pierce a moonless night,
Oh why, no one will discover why
