Игорь Жук - Миф
текст песни

No you, no you, no,
No - and the earth is empty.
Thirty shiny coins
Instead of Christ.
Hot light is hastened
At the foot of the cross -
Emptiness...

Timid, praying gaze
Blind blue in the sky -
Pontius Pilate prays:
- God, save!
Our Father, even do it
In heaven ...

God was silent upstairs,
God is not up to prayers -
The Son of God shouted again:
The wound hurts.
God did not sleep for three days,
The Holy Spirit was fed up:
The son screams ...

Angels, squeezing, squeezing
In anger, they tremble by a saint:
- Lord, the pain is fresh, -
Let me take revenge with fire! ..
God is not sorry for the fire
But already was Sodom
The terrible court ...

God froze at the remote control
Hunched by a load of years.
The son was not immortal,
Son already - no! ..
God-father is not sweet
White, like a shroud, light ...
God, you are gray ...

You are old in an hour
Gorky wrinkles cannot be counted ...
Oh, why now
Stupid revenge!
The son in his arms faded -
There are no such miracles,
To resurrect! ..

Angels, quietly rustling
A heap of star maps,
Sin of sin,
Silently prepare a start.
God, on a green ball
Throwing the last look
Said: "Hell!"

No you, no you, no,
No - and the earth is empty.
Hot light is hastened
At the foot of the cross,
Thirty unnecessary coins
Instead of Christ -
Emptiness...
