10000 Years Ago 10000 Лет Назад

Dusty streets squint in the glare of the light,
But it shines and watches us from on high.
Yellow mummies bargain for life in their plight,
But it won't give a chance, it will pass them by.

Ten thousand years ago, a garden-city bloomed,
But now the desert rules this empty space.
My gaze disturbs the golden dust entombed —
My name is hidden in the sands without a trace.
Ten thousand years ago,
Ten thousand years ago.

The Sun, cruel and white, with its burning art,
Has scorched every living thing deep inside.
Not a drop is left in the depths of your heart,
Of your cold, snaking love where you hide.

Ten thousand years ago, a garden-city bloomed,
But now the desert rules this empty space.
My gaze disturbs the golden dust entombed —
My name is hidden in the sands without a trace.
Ten thousand years ago,
Ten thousand years ago,
Ten thousand years ago,
Ten thousand years ago.

Everything fades,
Everything burns,
In the silence of time...
