Peace Be With You

I'm locking doors one after another
Like pages of my life that have been scrolled
Keeping some akin to my heart,
The rest - consigning to the wind
And leaving -
Peace be with you...

Peace be with you, my childhood
Still burning fire in my soul
A little violin, a cobblestoned street
Fights and games,
Peace be with you...

Peace be with you, my dearest friends
Who shared with me my bygone days
I shall remember all of you
All those who stayed and who have left
Peace be with you...

Peace be with you, my hometown,
And streets that I have walked along
Faces familiar, kind and upset,
Disgust, smiles and curse
I will be back -
Peace be with you...

Feels like I am deserting myself,
But I do not destroy the bridges of return,
I am leaving to break free,
Knocking doors of destiny
Now that I go -
Peace be with you...

Peace be with you, my final love,
The quiet moment of farewell and frozen lips
Nights hand-in-hand never-to-return
And all the traps of lies
That I have locked -
Peace be with you...

Peace be with you, my final loss,
My final hope, my final dream and crazy days
I am leaving all of you,
All games of deception
I never play-
Peace be with you...

I'm locking doors one after another
Like pages of my life that have been scrolled
Keeping some akin to my heart,
The rest - consigning to the wind
And leaving -
Peace be with you...
