lyrics

3. You are the Path, you are the Lord

You are the Path, you are the Lord
And no one was walking along it
But there came and passed three angels
Yes, three angels, yes three Archangels
And with them they brought a sinning soul
Yes brought, brought with them, and they asked
Why is it, Soul, that you are walking past Paradise?
Ah, how come you, Soul, did not get into Heaven?
You for your avarice and you for your stupidity
You for all those words, those bad-tempered words
To live happily in our Paradise
Ai, to live happily there are but few
Ai, in the midst of Paradise stands a tree
Ai, the tree is made of vitriol
On it the leaves glisten
Sit saruvimskiya birdis
Singing the songs of the Seraphim
