All for Naught

Elena Mozharova
02. ALL FOR NAUGHT

Be generous
With your life
With your love
Be generous
Always

Is this final?
Are we but seeds beneath the snows?
Is my faith only burning faintly
As my disobedience grows?
Because

I decided to be
What anger made of me
I decided to be
What hatred left of me
I decided to be
What the lions left of me
I decided to be
What cowards are meant to be
For it was all, all for naught
It was all, all for naught

What black sea shall be
Our mistress, our mother?
What brothers, what ghosts
Can populate a song?
You know I was a different man then
You know I was a fool
You know I was wrong when…

I decided to be
What anger made of me
I decided to be
What hatred left of me
I decided to be
Wat the lions left of me
I decided to be
What cowards are meant to be
For it was all, all for naught
It was all, all for naught

Why be still?
Why settle
My gipsy daughter?
For it sure is less
Painful to be slammed
On rough water

I decided to be
What anger made of me
I decided to be
What hatred left of me
I decided to be
What the lions left of me
I decided to be
What cowards are meant to be
I decided to be
What anger made of me
I decided to be
What hatred made me be
