TATITERA — Плач Земли!

We thought it was forever, But it turned out to be a moment. Cities like wounds on the body of the earth. We burned them ourselves, as we could To rise above nature, stronger than the winds, But became only a shadow of our own sins. We cut the forest, not counting the rings, Not hearing how the fox and the arctic fox cry. And the air thickened from soulless machines, And there were no more stars, no more peaks.

We ourselves burned this house to the ground, Where life once waited for us with love. We ourselves destroyed the sky and the light And ask for forgiveness that isn’t there. We ourselves killed the breath of water, Leaving the planet only ash and smoke. And if the last dawn comes — Tell me, why are we no longer there?

A whale dies in the silence of the waves, Entangled in the pain of transparent chains. And the bird doesn’t fall — we fall When we destroy what’s left of the earth. We drove progress, not noticing the limit, Trading the living for the numbers of those deeds. And in every “faster” we lost ourselves, Erasing the planet as if in a joke.

We ourselves burned this house to the ground, Where life once waited for us with love. We ourselves destroyed the sky and the light And ask for forgiveness that isn’t there. We ourselves killed the breath of water, Leaving the planet only ash and smoke. And if the last dawn comes — Tell me, why are we no longer there?
