Zii EDM - Zahorzc Bed part 9 Lyrics

Don't touch, don't pluck - you didn't sow
A hollow, deep voice preaches to him sternly
A close voice, as if it came from the ground
For there's no other to be seen around
Only a large stump stands next to him
Over it, brambles with moss intertwine
And along, remnants of an ancient oak
A shattered trunk with a wide cavity
The lad circles the stump, examines the cavity
He circles the entire surrounding landscape
But he can't find any trace
That a human foot ever walked here
Everywhere he can only see a desert
Perhaps my ear is deceiving me
Perhaps a wild animal roared in the distance
Perhaps the sound came from water in the rock
Says the lad to himself; and disregarding the sound
He reaches for the apple again
Don't touch, don't pluck - you didn't sow
The hollow voice forbids again more thunderously
And when the lad looked back at the voice
Behold, the large stump among the brambles
Begins to move and from the moss stretch out
Two long arms, measuring the lad
And above the arms, like pitch candles
In a foggy night, two red eyes
From under the grey moss turn to him
The lad got scared and with the sign of the cross
He signs himself once, twice and thrice
And like a sparrowhawk scared from its nest
Not looking for a path, not seeing obstacles
He flies straight down from the rock through the thicket
And bloodied from sharp thorns
He falls to the ground closer to the old man
Oh sir, sir, it's bad in this forest
A leafy apple tree on the rock, on the plain
And the apple tree bears ripe fruits in spring
And a large stump forbids to pluck them
And that stump speaks, turns its eyes
And catches with its arm, whoever approaches the apple tree
Oh sir, the devil rules here
You're mistaken, my son, here the grace of God
Performs its miracles - glory be to Him
I see that my journey is already ending
My body will gladly lie down in this earth
Serve me one last time, my son
Lead me up there, to the rocky plain
He did so, the lad: first he cleared the path
And then he had to carry the old man along it
And when they already came up to the apple tree
Behold, the stump leans towards the old man
Stretches its arm towards him and rejoices
Oh sir, my sir, you haven't come for a long time
Look, your seedling already bears fruit
Oh pluck it, sir, you sowed it yourself
Záhoři, Záhoři, peace be with you
I bring you peace in my last time
Without measure, without end is the grace of God
It saved both of us from the hellish bed
Forgive me now, as I forgive you
Let our ashes lie down next to each other here
And let the angels from heaven take our spirit
Amen! says Záhoř. And at that moment
He collapsed into a humble pile of dust
And only a bramble on the bare rock
Remained standing, in his memory
At the same time, the old man falls dead to the ground
His earthly journey is already over
And the lad remained alone in the middle of the forest
To still fulfill the will of his master
But above his head at that same moment
Two white doves are hovering
In joyful dance they rise upwards
Until they also rose to the angelic choir
