As Within 01:27
Я видел сон: мы в древнем склепе Схоронены; а жизнь идет Вверху — всё громче, всё нелепей; И день последний настает. Чуть брежжит утро Воскресенья. Труба далекая слышна. Над нами — красные каменья И мавзолей из чугуна. И он идет из дымной дали; И ангелы с мечами — с ним; Такой, как в книгах мы читали, Скучая и не веря им. Под аркою того же свода Лежит спокойная жена; Но ей не дорога свобода: Не хочет воскресать она… И слышу, мать мне рядом шепчет: «Мой сын, ты в жизни был силен: Нажми рукою свод покрепче, И камень будет отвален». — «Нет, мать. Я задохнулся в гробе, И больше нет бывалых сил. Молитесь и просите обе, Чтоб ангел камень отвалил».

a mare called night she stays till dawn she drinks the light she waits alone she lingers on she cries the stars extinct and cold she leaves no scars she paints in gold she hugs so tight and lulls to sleep don’t cry, oh child the dream so deep her cloven hooves enswathed in white a mare called night the mare called night mare called night

lyrics идут года, не снишься ты увязла ночь как в пелене под звук дождя поют мосты всё та же комната во сне скрипящий пол, пустые стены и ветра гул в пяти углах и капля ржавчины по венам и пустота в кромешных снах рассвет ленив, теряет силу сдается молча темноте лишь боли верь, копай могилу она не станет лгать мечте и свет и тьма, на смену коже тончает плоть, померкнет взор обитель нашу потревожив, парит перо ветрам в укор

reveal the unspoken defeat the unbroken the bond once so sacred it now fell forsaken her eyrie is hollow with silence adorned turned into a crown of bleeding thorns to die of a broken heart her branches were torn apart her roots unearthed - the work of art like the death of a broken heart and no more to dwell the fear the pain and despair so near the cries no one else can hear the light she can see so clear those wounded birds i could never forget her sublime unblossomed sorrow and her lashes with pearlescent droplets beset when the piano turns silent tomorrow
5.
a feather dancing in the storm will show you where to go to fly above, forget the swarm or plummet down below a lifeless bird a broken seed cannot disperse to bloom the reckoning is imminent within the barren womb and you insist you don’t exist afraid to fall asleep you trust your pain, as only she will know to bury deep the guilt is forged so seamlessly a ghostly silhouette delivers phantom melody prostrated hands, unbroken thread the thickened skin unease betrays eyes glistering with anguish the glaring through the palest haze bound to the endless languish but you insist you don’t exist afraid to fall asleep you trust your pain, as only she will know to bury deep

Metastasis 04:02
она не запомнит наших лиц пустых голосов, фальшивых границ но на теле ее, на истерзанной коже будут шрамы зиять, время ей не поможет не покрыть этих ран, не забыть этой боли не для всех нас охота пуще неволи мы топтапли, мы жгли, мы хлестали плетьми отравляя в веках, усыпали костьми истязали глумясь, не считаясь с ценой один раз ведь живем, все сомненья долой бороздили поля, орошенные ядом провожали гробы сожалеющим взгдядом ультиматум истек, и монодия льется по иссохшим брегам, испаряясь во мгле не смогли уберечь, в руки нам не дается только тени ползут, по распятой земле

Sanctuary 03:14
i died with you that dazzling morning the navel cord was made of air your holler stabbed dismaying warning like rusty dagger ruthless blare i wasn’t there but there we were decaying light the burning myrrh to watch you breathe it must befall they say he lives and loves us all the moth, she knows to seek the light won’t keep her warm the shine’s unkind the rusty cage the wire’s tight i died with you but we survived
8.
River of Red 04:00
still she cries, her laments unheard tacit moans, they drown in dirt still she lies so betrayed, so idle and no more are her waters tidal quiet shores slowly withering tired winds prayers whispering broken waves, final breath is near through her veins scarlet drops so sheer they’ve forgotten her blessed purpose blinded by all the gold on her surface wrenched entrails gnawed by carrion crows left to dry and die, she knows her waters red like dying sun tears turned to glass her path undone her time has come the flow is over the poison’s spread silent mourner
9.
an eye she gives to take an eye in darkness leaves the world a heart it takes to have a heart for blinded to behold the palest skin you cannot see it drowns bathed in light for futile be the summoning the dance of candlelight and you can try to cover but you can never hide i am my lover’s lover i am my mother’s child but thirty three unbraided wicks the burning won’t ignite their shadows gasp on shores of Styx when called upon by the light enthrall, beguile, so poisonous so luscious, so unkind and bones are dancing frantically, turns emerald your sight and you can try to cover but you can never hide she is my lover’s lover she is my mother’s child

So Without 04:58
i had a dream, an ancient tomb we’re buried, life goes on up there, so loud, so absurd he’s here, the final dawn the glimmer of the Sunday morn the distant trumpet’s crying above us red as blood is stone the final dwelling of cast-iron. and here he comes from drifting smoke armed with the swords his angels just like unnumbered pages spoke bored and untrusting strangers beneath the arch of deepest vault a quiet wife asleep her freedom is not dear to her: her dreams are oh so deep... and i can hear my mother’s whisper: "son, so strong you were in life: "press with your hand the vault more firmly, stones will roll away in strife." - "no, mother, smothered in the coffin no more of my old strength’s left you both should pray and beg for angels, to move the stone, deliver the bereft"

about

Dheghom is an attempt to write about some things i am not necessarily able to understand or even feel, but have a lot of feelings about.
