A drift of pigs are building a temple They float with lilies in their mouth A thousand noises jostle and daze me But you stupidly say they don't make a sound CHORUS: You can say the meadow is full of flowers But it's only snowing inside I don't believe a word that you're saying Reality is for the dumb and the blind What does it matter if there's no one to tell If only a fool've seen the grand event If it's only a fool, then what does a mind worth? The poet will write about what he understands CHORUS: You can say the meadow is full of flowers But it's only snowing inside I don't believe a word that you're saying Reality is for the dumb and the blind The outside world starts receding Only in my head I feel sublime I don't believe a word that you're saying Reality is for the dumb and the blind

The game was set to started Our lines are firm and steady We all know the given rules Our next move is known already We all have a value on the field We`re here for a common sake Waiting for the order to move The next step can be your last one - but don't be afraid You see only black and white You must be a colour blind The size of the squares are the same You can be the first to be sacrificed We`re figures on a plastic chessboard Waiting for the right decision The big hand makes the movement It`s might be your final moment The Great Strategist was more than strategist. A strategist is always tied up by the frameworks of he's own strategy. The Great Strategist rejected all frameworks. Strategy was only a negligible element of he's game, as random as walking blindfold. The Great Strategist became great just because he realized (or knew it from birth) that the one who's able to play the game following all rules is not the one who wins. The winner will be the one who's able to brake all the rules in the right moment, the one who's able to dictate he's own rules upon the game, the rules that are unknown for the enemy, and when necessary he can brush them aside too

The buildings are crumbling Water turns to gall The baboons are coming Acting is crucial They’re here, feasting on, ruining and spoiling everything! They destroy the tiny buds! Those delicious little buds! So if you see them, bash them as much as you can, smash those monkeys! For the buds….bash them hard!

In the bottom of the cave, deep inside The light is faint, we can`t see nothing We don`t need words, sitting silent Preparing for a dark future Wine turns to water, body to smoke I`am still squeezing your hand And by the swirling mist over the river The mountains get becloud
