Lyrics Александр Ефремов - Светильник

With a gray transparent staff, on a stone slab
Water knocks, knocks like an eternal wanderer
And the drops are broken and disappear in the dark
They play with fire, melt, melt candles

But our flame does not go out
Tin lamp
Under a stone, under a stone, under a stone wall

Back to back huddled along the rope rail
We save a little of our strength
The chill of the iron hoop choked the breath
And fatigue fell on my hands like lead

We are warmed by a fiery
Tin lamp
Under a stone, under a stone, under a stone wall

From the ground, for the second day we are torn to the zenith
Knowing neither sunsets nor sunrises
Another jerk and the sun will blind us with rays
But four hundred meters before him

While the fiery one shines for us
Tin lamp
Under a stone, under a stone, under a stone wall

None of us know yet how many long years
We listen to the roar of the angry flows
As a transparent staff dim light will beat
On the walls of the unconquered abysses

So let the fiery one not go out
Tin lamp
Under a stone, under a stone, under a stone wall
