The Shadows' Dance [Russian translation]

Dancing shadows on the ceiling,

Ugly creatures on the wall,

Eerie glow, uneasy feeling

Of a danger in the hall,

Shifting shapes are getting closer,

Flowing, dancing in the dark...

Who is out there? Beasts, move over!

Let the light come from the murk

And dispel distressing visions

In the troubled weary mind...

Sparks are laughing with derision:

How can humans be so blind?
