Leť tmou
Lyrics:
Cítim chladné, tiene zradné\\nTúžbou planie čo je na dne\\nPrázdno v duši, to sa stáva\\nHorkú príchuť temno máva\\n\nMy musíme vyjsť z tieňov, nástrah a slov\\nSrdce daj, nezúfaj, a leť tmou\\n\nTiež to cítim, tiež sa bojím\\nSen sa chveje strachom mojim\\nChvíľa straty, chvíľa strachu\\nKeď sa nádej váľa v prachu\\n\nMy musíme vyjsť z tieňov nástrah a slov\\nSrdce daj, nezúfaj, a leť tmou\\nMy musíme vyjsť z tieňov nástrah a slov\\nSrdce daj, nezúfaj, a leť tmou\\n\nAle kam?\\nNeviem v tejto chvíli každý raz sa zmýli\\nTicho vo mne šepká: nezostávaj sám\\n\nTiež to cítim, tiež sa bojím\\nNezostávaj sám\\n\nKeď sa blíži odpustenie\\nMraky obáv odoženie\\nNezablúdiš, si si istý\\nKeď ťa niekto pevne istí\\n\nBože nech nás tvoj hlas\\nVedie temnotou v nás\\nDaj nám dar, zázrak sprav, lásku vráť\\nLáska, prosím\\n\nLáska, prosím, nech nás tvoj hlas\\nVedie temnotou v nás\\nDaj nám dar, zázrak sprav, stoj pri nás\\n\nLáska, prosím, nech nás tvoj hlas\\nVedie temnotou v nás\\nDaj nám dar, zázrak sprav, stoj pri nás\\nLásku chráň
Slovakia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 with the song "Leť tmou" written by Rastislav Dubovský, Petronela Kolevská and Anna Žigová. The song was performed by Kamil Mikulčík and Nela Pocisková. In September 2008, the Slovak broadcaster Slovenská televízia (STV) announced that they would be returning to the Eurovision Song Contest after an eleven-year absence due to pressure from local artists. The broadcaster selected the Slovak entry for the 2009 contest in Moscow, Russia through the national final Eurosong 2009. 50 entries competed in the national final which consisted of six shows: five semi-finals and a final. In the semi-finals, three entries were selected to advance from each show: two entries selected based on the votes from the public and one entry selected by a seven-member jury panel. A wildcard entry was also selected by the jury from the remaining entries to advance. Sixteen entries ultimately qualified to compete in the final on 8 March 2009 where a public vote selected three of the entries to proceed to a second round of voting. In the second round of voting, "Leť tmou" performed by Kamil Mikulčík and Nela Pocisková was selected as the winner after scoring the most points from the jury. Slovakia was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 14 May 2009. Performing during the show in position 7, "Leť tmou" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Slovakia placed eighteenth out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 8 points.
