Часы судного дня [Chasy sudnogo dnya] [English translation]

The ground is trembling,

It wants to shake us off

As an unnecessary ballast, threatening doom

Maybe for the last time.

Sodom has risen from the ashes,

The clouds of troubles are gathering,

And people are being carried away by the off-shore wind,

And the path to the temple is lost.

Light and Darkness are arguing again,

Troubled times are here.

[Hook:]

The hands of the clock are like black wings,

A sharp wing-beat – and the chalice of pain is full,

Heavenly revelations become reality,

The clock strikes midnight – the Doomsday Clock.

A star is rising in the night,

Beholding the mad world,

A thousand suns can't obnubilate it,

The smoke of the fires can't overshadow it.

As a priceless gift,

It is given from above.

[Hook:]

The hands of the clock are like black wings,

A sharp wing-beat – and the chalice of pain is full,

Heavenly revelations become reality,

The clock strikes midnight – the Doomsday Clock.

[Solo]

But there are seeds of hope –

They will sprout through the ashes,

The Lord wants to help us in forgiveness,

Blind and deaf in our sins.

The devil is staring,

Our dispute is not over.

[Hook: 2x]

The hands of the clock are like black wings,

A sharp wing-beat – and the chalice of pain is full,

Heavenly revelations become reality,

The clock strikes midnight – the Doomsday Clock.
