Ruby on the Chest

Ruby on the Chest

Из цикла «Рубин на груди»


---

These cold walls remember no warmth of our days,
I tried to keep pieces of hope in the haze.
But your world is bordered by ringing despair,
And the arches are falling from the touch of your hand so fair.

I have watched the dawn die behind your back,
And the abyss rising between us — black.
My pulse turns to fever — I can't stand the heat...
The choice has been made — my heart of frozen fire, bitter and discreet.

Let the scarlet pain tear my chest in two —
I give my greatest altar forever to you!

The ruby on your chest — my heart still burns for you.
I give it now beyond the grave — my final gift, forever true.
And if you wish to end the torment in my soul —
Just press this jewel to your chest — and let my spirit be whole.
A beacon through the storm — my love shall be your flame.
And I... shall fade beneath the snow... a shadow without a name.

Take this crimson stone — it burns with a raging fire,
But never again shall we share this world's desire.
Now you are free for a hundred wandering ways,
And I beneath the dying moon may grow wiser through the haze.

You will shine among a thousand gilded masques and lies,
And I will become a shadow beneath starless skies.
Only know, as you enter your cold and silent hall —
I dissolve in the shadow, becoming but a spall, a frozen fall.

Let the scarlet pain tear my chest in two —
I give my greatest altar forever to you!

The ruby on your chest — my heart still burns for you.
I give it now beyond the grave — my final gift, forever true.
And if you wish to end the torment in my soul —
Just press this jewel to your chest — and let my spirit be whole.
A beacon through the storm — my love shall be your flame.
And I... shall fade beneath the snow... a shadow without a name.

Can you hear it? The silence.
No more beating inside.
This is not weakness...
Go...
Just always shine bright!
The crimson stone will burn forever upon your chest...
Only I ask you.......
Sometimes........
At least...... in my dreams....... come to rest.

The ruby on your chest — my heart still burns for you.
I give it now beyond the grave — my final gift, forever true.
And if you wish to end the torment in my soul —
Just press this jewel to your chest — and let my spirit be whole.
A beacon through the storm — my love shall be your flame.
And I... shall fade beneath the snow... a shadow without a name.

Crimson light... press it near...
I'm gone... but still I'm near...

Ruby on the chest......
Burn forever.....

Burn......
