Текст песни A Silence Song (Current 93) с переводом

So much silence

Stretching above me

Around me too

Has it deafened me?

Has it closed my ears?

Has the silence itself

Brought about this rapture?

Between silence and sound

Between the cry and the cull

If man raises one voice

I’ll raise two then

One for loss

One for losing

One for death

And one for birth

I may hang bloodytorn

On this tree of moss

Though my grimace

Cuts my grin

I’ll rise triumphant

I’ll rise triumphing

You won’t catch me

I fly unseen

Through the wind of the worlds

Missiles cut space

Spearing the starlight

Masking the moon

Wide of the march

Give me two reasons to stay here

Lostlight lostlove

Smudge the tracks

And smother the traces

Of the fires of your fear

Near the

Under the

Beside the

Beyond the flowers

Then further still

The children lie

In silent space

The wind shivers through

Their cornburnt hair

Silence immaculate

If they move

From silence to sound

Will the world shudder

Will my heart stop

In a cave

In her maze

The spring slides

Through my sadness

And my winter

(The stars have now frozen into space)

(The stars have molten into space)

The children wait

Flowers around

Burnish their hair

With brazen gold

And heartred rose

If I move

Then I shall stop

(How have the sightless fallen)

I’ll take a knife to your heart

I’ll take a knife to your…

I’ll take a knife to your…

(And London Bridge no longer remains;

Christ’s face refracted through

The sky then cuts up into

Different shapes…)
