Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)



Leading the ocean to rest on a beach
And forest to give creatures some shade
With songs leading the wildest of beasts
With songs no one has ever made

Showing the easiest way to the gale
And warming up winds from deepest colds
Setting a meeting of darkness and day
Leading the life lines with simplest songs

Only we are cursed to be left
Without their guidence for who knows how long
Only and only when you'll talk with death
Maybe it will sing you a song
