Lyrics :

Spirit of the winter
take my holy blood
angels of the show
accept my saycrifice

Sacrifice of my destiny
sacrifice of my holy blood
blood sacrifice of my time
sacrifice of my holy dream

Thanks to gods of the northern side
for another space, for another time

My time is just a dream
inside of earth
my blood, my soul
somewhere in space

I wait for message from my empty dreams
in the crest of the northern wave
oh gods, oh angels, oh spirit of my time
tell me where is my space wake me!!!

My time is just a dream
Like sky full of stars
in unused time
in unused space

Now I am standing, now I am waiting
in the crest of the northern wave
in the crest of my dream
I wait for the answer
I wait for the message
message from nowhere
message from far away

Poem:
And storm is like
black albatross
like dark curse
like evil dream
And my mind
like northern waves
and my soul
somewhere in space

Butterfly of the northern sun
hovers in the purple sky
wings like a velvet curtain
stitched with golden threads

It carries my time
It dominates my space
dreaming my dreams
dreaming my time

But still I am standing
still I am waiting
in the crest of the northern wave
in the crest of my dream
I wait for the answer
I wait for the message
message from nowhere
message from far away
