Hi Folks.
This was originally recorded in Russian. A long time friend Sasha K. recorded bits of harmonica, acoustic guitar solo & ending and also helped me arrange this tune.  I wanted to do a English version, but struggled to keep it in the same form -> more or less linguistically coherent. I asked Ray (rayc) to step in, and he produced a whole set of lyrics, but I still could not get the right  groove, but it moved things from dead point. Finally, a few days ago, it just came to me. I ended up translating the original and using some of Ray's lyrics that worked thematically.  There is no linear story line, not in original version or this. Just some images that came to mind. All feedback, especially constructive stuff is absolutely welcomed. Thank you for listening!

Last Dance Of The Fly

Lyrics:
hey say chain is strong as its weakest link
They try to tattoo their will on our skin with permanent ink
Thieves and swindlers polishing details of gold plated altars
smirking face on a banknote - pale face of the czar

Water grinding cliffs
Wind howls like mad dog
Roads taken over by weeds
Abandoned wastelands covered in thick smog

Graphomaniac miring in the theses he wrote
A dance of a fly caught in cobweb
Lies that he tried to promote
Brigadier tapping holes in the tunic for the shiny new stars
Dervish swallow fire and sabers like sweet candy bars

Water grinding cliffs
Wind howls like mad dog
Roads taken over by weeds
Abandoned wastelands covered in thick smog.

They say the world is flat as a pancake -
Held by three mighty whales.
Their idol lighter than feather, kind hearted like a quail.
Frightening mask got stuck to the face held by ancient cement
I can hear the Homeric laugh of the spider that lives in the vent.

Water grinding cliffs
Wind howls like mad dog
Roads taken over by weeds
Abandoned wastelands., Abandoned minefields...
