[Mission / Pushkina]
East crimson with the dawn,
The red on mountain heads
It is becoming so
The land of singing
sands!
The East is Sunrise Beast,
Its paws are darkness-clad
The cruelty of East
Will make the sky reel
back!
[Bridge I]
The dawn for infidels
Brings gift of slashing steel
The Hawk with wings wide-spread -
The sign of
blood to spill...
[Chorus I, II, III]
Oh! Who is trapped by his faith?
God is one and alone,
Darkness hiding His
face...
Each ray of coming sun
Is filled with steely glints
The orders of the One
Is sealing their lips.
The road
to Heaven's realm
Is light from battlefield -
Foe's blood on your sharp steel -
Just bring your gruesome yield!
[Bridge
II]
Their silken robes and veils -
White ghosts in windy mist
The Hawk in blood-filled skies -
The Omen of the
East!
Day grows older in its time -
It's a law for all that's born
Sun goes down and distant line
Cuts away the
firestorm.
[Coda]
West like wise old lion
Lies down with lazy ease,
And from the stone
Licks the blood of
East!
No matter what - East or West -
Never-ending dispute,
Foolish blood-spilling quest...
[Chorus IV]
Who tells
Shaitan from Messiah?
And our blasphemous hands
Raise our banners so high...
Oh! There are so many names
For the only one
God...
Bitter smile on his face...
