To Tread the Dream

Эквиритимический художественный перевод песни «Дорога Сна» группы Мельница

Another glass of wine is spilled upon your crown
My brother, let’s prepare for the night
The moon will turn our blood into a silver stream
A sip of it, and it will seem
Like whisperwind tells us to tread the dream

To tread the dream, on our own feet we’ll walk the road that leads to midnight
Cold steel in the dark will show the way
Just the two of us to break the dawn, and to never return to this damn plight
Phantoms of a long forgotten home

One glass before we leave, the dusk won’t come too soon
The sky remains so blackened and marooned
And we are just the same, two last immortal twins
Who in spite of their star-crossed fate
Just bade farewell and chose to tread the dream

To tread the dream through time-locked mists, all made up of smoke and mirrors
Buried in the gems of broken crowns
And for taking off we’ll grow our wings, shaking off all of our fears
That for such a long time kept us down

Last sip from earthly glass to finalize our reign
Bestowed upon us by fate’s cruel scheme
Spared of our love and joy, of our regrets and pain
Left stranded by a mercy grim
To always try and fail to tread the dream

To tread the dream…
To tread the dream, away from light, and to never reach the Eden
All the sins of Earth are not ours to bear
No, nevermore we’re gonna trade for mere happiness our freedom
No matter if it cannot be shared

Oblivion is all that’s left on the bottom of our glass
So, one more sip before we come to pass
Oh, can you feel it piercing through and kicking in bloodstream?
We’re drinking up all of the beams
The moon sent us to tread the road of dream
To tread the dream
To tread the dream
