All currently negligible,
gray, how this gray day,
And the heart can not be torn
Grab a flickering shadow.
A shadow of future grief
I wander round the, viyas,
And life boils around, how sea,
From its banks seeking.
All currently negligible,
Promise me evil coming day,
And I seek, when possible,
Catch the shadow of memories.
Memories of previous life,
Where's all my soul blossomed,
Where all Nemea, hopeless
Raises the specter of evil cometh!
