White snow, white snow, grey ice
On the crackled and empty earth.
As the patched blanket there on it -
The town in road's grey cord.
And above there the clouds fly,
Blocking thus the heaven's light show.
And above yellow smoke is high.
This town's two thousan' years old,
Which has lived under light of a star
Named a Sun-star.

And there's two thousand year's war,
Without any essential cause,
The war for young men only,
It's good for wrinkles taking off.
Red, so red-red blood -
In an hour's is simple earth,
In two hours - it is a grass,
In three hours - it's living forth,
And is warmed by the rays of a star
Named as Sun-star...

And we know this rule being old,
Who is lucky in their fate,
Who is living by other laws,
Who is destined to early death.
He can't think 'bout words 'No' or 'Yes',
He forgot then the names and ranks.
He is able to touch a star beam,
Not considering that as a dream,
And fall down by fire of star,
Named as Sun-star...
