Lunae Ortus - Shadows of the City Lyrics

Shadows are still
Oh, everywhere
I hear to their crooked whisper
And breathing of time
Is laying there
I see their humble awing twister
Their lighted shy touch in the falls
Of autumnal leaves I feel
In breeze-wind from sea, in cracks of walls
Tearing their wax red seal

I see the ball
With smile of ladies
And laughters so shady
The dances are rattling
On stone-bridges dead
And horses are mettled
Dimensions are wed

Shadows are flying o'er the great city
Times coexist and ready to greet it
Shadows are lying like haze in a pity
Murmuring, soughing they are so wilted

With bitter sighs they fill the thoughts
And moans of past years
In dead oblivion they rot
And mem'ry its own tears
New world is alien to them
They are from lighted wears
With noble eyes and full of gem
But death so cruelly rears
Rears

Shadows of past are frozen in columns
They look at us reproachfully
Remember the Glory of the Empire
They now see decay and stench!

Shadows of this city
Shadows
Shadows of this city

And now they sight
From rusty roofs so bright
In drops from Neva bay
In Northern Sun's grey ray
They're everywhere, believe
The shadows of the lived
The shadows of the walls
The shadows of the stones
