Last Frontier by Paul Minesweeper

"Last Frontier" is quality and interesting mix of primitive ethnic musical instruments (harp, drums, kangling, etc.) with drone/dark ambient.

All the grief I burned. Their caption,
Moments' lie, and promises' rattle -
I broke, destroyed. The hoist of dust,
And fall to ground in bloody prattle.

The way to father's home is gone,
Beloved one's love and cry - a groan,
It does not hurt, it does not burn...
Ahead - I see the abyss' throne.

It sounds between all the worlds,
What's in the circle of wanderings melt.
Out of nothing - born again,
Going from nothing - the fable tales end.

And I will whisper: take this corpse
Rip his raw flesh, make lumps float
And hide away, he has no choice
Hide under night-soil - gasping throat.

Bones' prison, the cell of their flesh -
Spill, scatter into sea of lones.
Pluck only mind, where stars will smash.
To their glacial, endless dawns.

The Last Frontier. Open the bliss.
Steps on the boundaries of dying abyss.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////

Все скорби я спалил. Их плен,
Мгновений лож, надежды трепет -
Разбил, разрушил. Взвился прах,
И пал к земле в кровавый лепет.

Сгнила дорога в отчий кров,
Любовь родных, плачь близких - стоном,
Не жжёт, не ранит... Впереди -
Я вижу бездну вечным троном.

Она звучит меж всех миров,
Что в круг неё в скитаньях тают.
Из ничего рождаясь - вновь,
В ничто - как в небыль исчезают.

И я шепну ей тихо: "Вот,
К тебе пришедший труп - в ошмётки
Порви его живое мясо! Скрой -
Под нечистоты жерло глотки.

Острог костей, их клетку-плоть -
Разлей в веках забвенья морем.
Лишь вырви разум! К звёздам брось!
К их ледяным, бескрайним зорям".

Рубеж последний. Вскрыть черты.
Шаги в границах пустоты.
