Messenger On Fire - Павел Кашин

Messenger on fire

Crying but aflame

What are you inspired with?

And what"s your final aim. Tell me

Why your eyes are glowing

With a yet unknown shine

Why are they riveted

On mine?

Messenger on fire

Is there any use?

In speeches so inspired, in their carrying

So much truth for men

Why are your seething words

Disquieting my sleep

Why do they sink in me

So deep?

Messenger on fire, please, tell me

Why your glowing word

Seeks to forge my tired heart

Into a pointed sword.

To find in me a hero

To light in me a flame

I’ve to tell you, hear me.

I"ve

Been throught much the same

Messenger on fire

I’ve wandered in a quest

Crying with desire to be a

Model for the rest

Convincing my beloved

That there was justice in the fight

I thought were was no darkness

In the light

Messenger on fire

Take your sacred scroll

Gallop to your sire

Tell him straight that all I want is

Quiet for my people

When nothing can be done

To give them their moment

In the sun

Messenger on fire

Rent you scroll apart

Wild in desire

Humble in the heart

I didn’t want to be a novel

Where all would perish in the end

Not knowing that the vessel was

Unmanned

Messenger, I fear

Your effors were in vain

I promised to my dear not to

Cause or suffer pain.

I promised

If there is a cause to fight

To nip it in the bud

I promised not to taint my faith with blood
