Sliding Down by Aino Elina [i know elina]

Sliding down
tilted world,
past the point of
no return.

Veering too far down,
the floods surround us
quietly,
bound to drown us.

Where do we go from here,
In the darkness how to steer?
The edge is near,
leave behind all you hold dear

and climb the highest peak we can find
however weak we feel
or blinded by the lightning,
there’s still time to make it out of this alive.

Drifting out
far beyond reach
with no sails
no oars.

Pound of trembling ground,
this deafening sound
beneath us, bound
to take us down.

Where to go from here?
How to know the coast is clear?
Hold the breath, the tears,
face your darkest fears

and climb the highest peak we can find
however weak we feel,
or blinded by the lightning,
there’s still time
to make it out alive.

miksi rakensimme ankarille aavikoille,
miksi rakensimme palaneille raunioille,
miksi rakensimme paleleville soille?
