Viktor Tsoi, A song with no words

A song with no words – a night with no sleep,
All in due time – winter and spring,
For a new star, there is a crowd,
And for a sea – a rain from a cloud,
For a ripe apple – a good place to drop,
And for a robber – a good chance to rob,   
And for a dog - a bone in a cage,
And for a wolf - a grin full of rage.

A new bright day is born outside,
That day is there to dare me to fight.
My eyes are closed, but I can see -
The world has declared war on me.

If there is a wish, there is a goal,
If there is a body, there must be a soul,
If there is a step, there must be a trace,
There are both darkness and light in space.
Hey, are you ready to change this world
Or you can take it the way it is?
Can you just break the ranks or no?
Get the hot chair or ascend the throne?

A new bright day is born outside,
That day is there to dare me to fight.
My eyes are closed, but I can see -
The world has declared war on me.
