Перевод песни Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Pictures at an Exhibition Medley

Lead me from tortured dreams
Childhood themes of nights alone.
Wipe away endless years,
Childhood tears as dry as stone.
From seeds of confusion,
Illusions dark blossoms have grown.

Even now in furrows of sorrow
The dark still is sown.
My life's course is guided
Decided by limits drawn
On charts of my past ways
And pathways since I was born.

I carry the dust of a journey
That cannot be shaken away
It lives deep within me
For I breathe it every day

You and I are yesterday's answers
The earth of the past come to flesh
Eroded by time's rivers
To the shapes we now possess

Come share of my breath and my substance
And mingle our streams and our times
In bright infinite moments
Our reasons are lost in our rhymes

Come forth from love's pyre
Born in life's fire [2x]
Come forth from love's fire
In the burning, all are yearning
For life to be

And in pain there will be gain
Blasts of new life
Stirring in salty streams
And dark hidden seams
Where the fossil sun gleams

[2x:]
They were sent from the gates
Ride the tides of fate [2x]
They were sent from the gates
In the burning all are yearning
For life to be

Oh, to be
To be!

There's no end to my life
No beginning to my death
Death is life
