Spark

[Verse 1 - Russian roots, English adaptation] Lightning struck me, split me wide open Soul ascended to the sky, unbroken Earthly life just let me go Became a spark, burning slow

[Pre-Chorus] The ice is melting, but I'm still frozen Wind retreats where love was chosen Snow blinds no more—I see too clear The end of winter, end of us is here

[Chorus - Big, anthemic] So strike me down, strike me down like lightning I'm just a spark in the dark, no use in fighting You thawed the ice but left the cold inside me Where love had earth, now only silence finds me (Hey! Hey!)

[Verse 2 - Your English text, rhythmically adapted] The icy grip loosens, the wind retreats No more whispers of frozen tears complete The snow, once blinding, melts in sheets Revealing earth and winter's defeat

[Pre-Chorus] Barren branches stand articulate Now breathing silence, frigid air No tender shoots from poisoned ground Where icy shards were once profound

[Chorus] So strike me down, strike me down like lightning I'm just a spark in the dark, no use in fighting You thawed the ice but left the cold inside me Where love had earth, now only silence finds me

[Bridge - Build up, emotional peak] The thaw arrives—brings no rebirth Only the cold remains, only the hurt A silent promise, lost to sound A broken vow where we once drowned

[Final Chorus - Full power, ad-libs] So strike me down, strike me down like lightning I'm just a spark (just a spark!) in the dark, no use in fighting You thawed the ice but left the cold inside me Where love had earth, now only silence—

[Outro - Stripped, haunting] Where love had earth... (Just a spark... burning slow...)
