Moon, shyly hidden behind the veil of nocturnal fogs,
you reflect human soul with your suppliant glance,
the terror, desperation and oblivion
where we’d all fallen by now,
without wish and comprehension.
Cry from above,
while you’re watching us, sadly.
Your tears wet our shameful dress.
This is how I see you, every timeless night,
this is how you reflect my painful eyes.
There is neither wrong nor right.
Free will has been given whole mankind,
this could be the more radical fault.
Marked by an infected conscience
handed on through time,
execution of all faiths,
parasites to bloodbath straight.
You’re feeling all the burden
pushing on your shoulders.
Beholding us in centuries,
suffering in cold silence.
Turning, orbiting around us,
in your depressed brightness, hopeless.
The tears taste like bitter blood drops
shed on ground
in holy name of religions and idols,
of rage divine.
Cry from above,
while you’re watching us, sadly.
Your tears wet our shameful dress.
This is how I see you, every timeless night,
this is how you reflect my painful eyes.
Annihilated faces turned
watch disasters and their hurts.
You fade behind the hemispheres,
filling wonder’s skies,
stay beyond the atmosphere,
in sorrow see us cry,
look for hope and wisdom,
in this brilliant haze of light.
Utopian views of landscapes
deleting the worst times.
Cries heard in isolation,
hatred and pestilence
will get this world to fall.
Wars, lies, massacres
could make these lands forgotten,
buried in fog.
Oh, crying moon,
you watch us sad,
here, so close to the end.
Days’ end comes.
Hear my cry.
Entering the blackness,
all shall begin to expire.
Through desperation feelings,
the world will lie in fire.
I’m standing by the moonlight,
waiting for the dawn,
for the day we’ll be released.
And the day when judgment come,
she will stop the howl.
I could see you luminous every single night.
Turn, I will always know your face so sad and tired,
your glance will remain wrapped in the cold evening mist,
in a dull frosted silence, calling you from here.
Mooncry.
