(translation from Russian) Whose claws do you see in the naked branches? What secret fear are you driving out of your heart? Night, reveal all the secrets! What have you prayed for in the silence of the night? Why have you appealed so carelessly to me? I'm coming for you Look into my face, hear my voice - I am the mother of all your nightmares! I am the one that comes and reveals all your fears! Inseparable with you, I am your shadow on the wall There is no way out of the subconscious mind You have no right to look back It is not for you to decide whether you can or not Meet your own fear Pressure on the heart, so hard to breath But know that you must go this way You are stuck in your dreams Look into my face, hear my voice I am the mother of all your nightmares! I am the one who comes and reveals all fears and shame! Just know, that there is a way back Don't run - turn around and look into my eyes Just know, that there is a way back You must face your fears

(translation from Russian) Every night is a time of great battle, Between me and her, between her and you. But do not be afraid - I'm here, behind your back, I'll show you how to solve everything. Her blade is in your hands. Her weapon is your fear. Even though you lost your light thread Which has led you to the land of your dreams. But do not be afraid, breathe in calmly, I've passed through that myself. Do you know how to find the way back? You must face your fears. That's all. I'm here. I'll take you home. You see? Your terrible nightmare has receded. You accepted your fear - and you won.

(translation from Russian) When you're weak and tired, When the darkest hour of the night had come, Let my wing illuminate your path, Close your eyes... Try to sleep This world is not so simple. Nopony will answer my eternal question. And the trouble knocks on the door, But I know the way - believe in me You saw the light, you followed it, But once stumbled, you fell down... The wicked wind carried away all the tales and dreams, Which were full of hope and pain You saw them, but you never could fly, And the light in your eyes almost disappeared, You almost forgot who you are. But I will remind you - just follow me. Sleep well, my dear friend. Have you seen shadows gathered around? Their fury is blind, their eyes are cold... But I will be here, I will watch over your sleep
