Ships are rushing towards the shore
Trains are running towards the shore
But all the deadbolts are locked
Water is rising against the shore
The shore is a slow bird
The shore is a captive ocean
The shore is a heart of stone
The shore is someone's prison
And when the wave flows over the shore
And stops just for a moment
The war will have already happened on Earth
The war of which we will learn from the books
The golden gates will clang
Someone's voice will tell you to fly
A note on the toilet's doors:
'If you drop by Earth, come around'
A little star will twinkle at your doorstep
Try to guess its age
If you go out on an empty road
The gun will click behind your back
Someone put a hallmark on me
If only I knew who it was
Anger is a sparrow's word
It's mounting up in my coat's pockets
And when the water recedes
The shore will come out and reveal the hero
The shore will come out and reveal the enemy
As before there will be the two of them
Whisky with sugar and sour cabbage
Cold ice on the temples
It's chilly and empty inside my head
Tell me where you are and how you are
My stomach rises, but it's the wrong time
It's time to polish shoes
Bone like a white stirrup
A colour of someone's child foot
The shore will greet the hero
The shore will greet the enemy
There has always been the two of us
And now there's only me.
