Catharsis - Sunrise Beast lyrics

[Mission / Pushkina]

East crimson with the dawn,

The red on mountain heads

It is becoming so

The land of singing sands!

The East is Sunrise Beast,

Its paws are darkness-clad

The cruelty of East

Will make the sky reel back!

[Bridge I]

The dawn for infidels

Brings gift of slashing steel

The Hawk with wings wide-spread -

The sign of blood to spill...

[Chorus I, II, III]

Oh! Who is trapped by his faith?

God is one and alone,

Darkness hiding His face...

Each ray of coming sun

Is filled with steely glints

The orders of the One

Is sealing their lips.

The road to Heaven's realm

Is light from battlefield -

Foe's blood on your sharp steel -

Just bring your gruesome yield!

[Bridge II]

Their silken robes and veils -

White ghosts in windy mist

The Hawk in blood-filled skies -

The Omen of the East!

Day grows older in its time -

It's a law for all that's born

Sun goes down and distant line

Cuts away the firestorm.

[Coda]

West like wise old lion

Lies down with lazy ease,

And from the stone

Licks the blood of East!

No matter what - East or West -

Never-ending dispute,

Foolish blood-spilling quest...

[Chorus IV]

Who tells Shaitan from Messiah?

And our blasphemous hands

Raise our banners so high...

Oh! There are so many names

For the only one God...

Bitter smile on his face...
