Fantasy rock-opera «Road Without Return» by sympho-rock group «ESSE» by Andrzej Sapkowski’s Wiedzmin. English translate 8-th scene of Rock-Musikal. «The contempt time»

The contempt time

Yennefer

The contempt time struck,
The prophecy came true.
Doubts was crumpled
In a loneliness point.
To live is intolerably,
To die isn’t terrible.
A strong survives,
A feeble is in lists of fallen,
A sinner kills.

Vilgefortz

A righteous steals,

Regis

A heartless governs,

Geralt

And a crazy judges.

Essi

Gallows became a wood,

Regis

Blocks became squires,

Lara

Money became a demon,

Cregennan

Authorities became executioners.

Chorus

Nobody can win in war
Where battle all with all.
In the heady flame of contempt
Will be found a little drop of love.

Yennefer

People hunger.

Geralt

A scavenger feasts,

Regis

Old folks groan,

Ciri

Youths wage war.

Lara

To go away is dangerously.

Vilgefortz

To stay is silly,

Essi

A foretime is darkly,

Cregennan

A future is stingy.

Chorus

Here on the earth.

Lara, Cregennan

A truth dies, myths rice,
Cattle creep out, vultures come fly.

Vilgefortz, Yennefer

Leaves fall, books burn down,
Feelings freeze over, graves multiply.

Chorus

Here on the earth.

Yennefer, Geralt

Indifference of dust

Essi, Lara, Vilgefortz

In turmoil of whirlwind

Yennefer, Geralt

Fatality of live,

Lara, Vilgefortz

Certainty of dead.

Yennefer, Geralt

All what was saint

Essi, Lara, Cregennan

Lost a price

Yennefer, Geralt

Wolfs among brothers

Lara, Cregennan

The contempt time struck.

Chorus

In flight of outgoing epoch arrow
Of last grains of sand in sandglass
Arises a windstorm in severe traditions
Weighing from ground pain, contempt and fear.
