Look how they shine,
The diamond roads.
Listen how they crackle,
The diamond roads.
Look at the footprints
Left on them by gods.
To follow these steps you need
Gold feet.
To catch hold of the glass
You need diamond claws.
They burn, they burn above us,
Obnubilating our intellect,
The diamond roads
In the dark time of the day.
Look how narrow they are,
The diamond roads.
They have gripped us in a vice,
The diamond roads.
To see their light
We drank bitter herbs.
If we don't fall into the abyss,
We will die of the poison all the same
On the diamond bridges
Over the black ditches.
They soar, they soar above us,
Obnubilating our intellect,
The diamond roads
In the dark time of the day.
