Walking On the Sea By Ilia Kormiltsev

Apostle Andrew was fishing from berth,
And Messiah was walking on the sea,
Andrew was pulling minnows on earth,
But Messiah pulled people from fear.
And Andrew cried out I will leave berth out
if you open the secret to me,
But Messiah said: take it easy, don't shout,
There's no secret at all, can't you see.

Can you see on the mount 
cross is rising in the sky:
there are ten soldiers beneath, 
take this place, let it be,
but come back when you'll tire
to your merciful Jesus
to walk on the sea to walk on the sea 
to walk on the sea with me.

But, Messiah, their helmets have glimmering horns,
above this cross black raven flies,
having mercy to the fool tell me now, show me course,
leave for future my great sacrifice.
Saviour dumbed in the moment and stomped with the spite
on smooth of the water and said:
"You are fool indeed" and Andrew has cried 
bearing minnows to home, he was sad.

Can you see on the mount 
cross is rising in the sky:
there are ten soldiers beneath, 
take this place, let it be,
but come back when you'll tire
to your merciful Jesus
to walk on the sea to walk on the sea 
to walk on the sea with me.
