The town is silent
Misted violence
A stone hasn’t moved since you left the palace
Scattered bones of calcified lovers
Run as though you will fade away
Cry from nowhere
Blinded children
Do trees mean bodies of exhausted nomads
Scattered glasses captivate your eyes
Run as though you will fade away
Hundreds of faces disguise your mind
Every piece of broken glass
Iron smell of dripping blood
Left you question why you can’t trust
Flashing echo reached deep in heart
The moment is waited, the sand has all fallen
The mirror holds yourself who takes you far away
No one will see where you could be
Reflected sky and sea
The face never seen of who knows how you scream
Let the alien take you over
It destroys and sets you free
The moment is waited, the sand has all fallen now
Hundreds of faces staring back
Every piece of broken glass
Iron smell of dripping blood
Left you question why you can’t trust
Flashing echo reached deep in heart
The moment is waited, the sand has all fallen
The mirror holds yourself who takes you far away
No one will see where you could be
Reflected sky and sea
The face never seen of who knows how you scream
Let the alien take you over

Floor-to-ceiling Boris ragers! It’s like they looked back on songs like Statement and Woman On the Screen and said “let’s do a whole album like that!” Most of these tracks don’t even pass 3 minutes! Zerkalo holds up the middle with some anguished doom.
In the end, *NO* is as strong and declarative as it’s title. Brian Parker
