Nevertheless

Endless rails 
Empty space 
The train is hurtling through the night and I'm alone in empty coach 
Light spots run away, then new ones approach from the dark 
From the dark 
So it was 

I was heading to the strange city of the midnight sun 
Can I leave my inner hell, or it is just aimless run? 

But for now just the road exists 
Plains that covered with mist 
And the rattle of tireless wheels 
And no more me 

Heil the nordic city 
I'm right here in front of you 
The old emperor Peter 
Accept my challenge, assuage my throe 

But these bold words left untold 
And the city was so cold 
And beyond expression beautiful 
But there is no place for the exile 

Roaming in the maze of 
Narrow streets and well courtyards 
I was waiting for a sign 
How to calm my weary heart 

But the world around was quiet 
And my cry left unrequited 
All the things were passing me by 
Who can ever hear the silent cry? 

Afternoon I saw my death 
Arrogant and confident 
Strolling leisurely in the crowd on the far side of the street 
Crimson patterns in my eyes 
And the chill from the other side went down the spine 

At the sunset I went down 
Almost ready to give up 
But salvation came from an orchestra which was playing in the park 
Half-forgotten retro tune 
Caught me with the lulling croon 
And it blew my soul beyond the horizon 

Still alive 
In the deep of night I find myself still alive 
I don't know why 
Is this a second chance of just unkind jibe? 

An opportunity 
To fix everything that someone granted to me 
Could it be? 
Or just wanton prolongation of the agony? 

Though my soul was torn apart 
And my ego's skin is sloughed 
I left there a piece of heart 
But it does not matter now 

For now just the road exists 
Uncertain future in the mist 
And the wrath of hunted beast 
But not pain 

Wonders that I have to see 
'til I meet my destiny 
No more me but nevertheless 
Here I am
