****** Lyrics ******


"Сквозь зарево углей" 


Original
За моря, что скованы льдами,
туда где чернеет презренное небо,
свой взор устремили , чтобы открылись глазам
проблески тьмы в лунной ночи.

Гром разорвал вмиг тишину,
нарушив ее извечный покой.
Лес онемел, засыпая во тьме,
где то храня свою древнюю суть.

Молния светом ночь обожгла,
мигом одним обозначив свой путь.
Вечную стену небес разорвав,
устремилась она на извечную земь.

Где то вдали пламя рождалось,
пожирая кресты деревянных церквей.
Пеплом взметнулись холодные ветры,
с собою унося святости дух.

English translation

Beyond the ice-bound seas,
Where the contemptible skies are seen in black,
We've turned our eyes to see
The glimpses of darkness in the moonlit night.

In an instant, burst of thunder has torn the silence,
Disturbing its primeval tranquility.
The forest has grown numb, falling asleep in the dark,
Keeping its ancient essence hidden somewhere.

The lightning has scorched the night with the light,
Marking its path in a blink of an eye,
Tearing the eternal wall of the skies,
It has rushed towards the ancient ground.

Somewhere in the distance the flame was born,
Devouring the crosses of the wooden churches.
The cold winds have raised the dust,
Taking the spirit of holiness away.



"Рождение в недрах черни" 


Original

Вновь мёртвые слова пронзают сущность
и, разрывая корни, среди молчания камней,
уходят вглубь, навеки чтобы чернь жила.
Быть может свет померкнет пред ее величием...

Предай тела живых забвению навеки,
пусть прорастут корнями вглубь себя...
Задуши!! Заглуши!! А потом отпусти,
чтобы обратно на землю упали они.

English translation
The dead words pierce the essence once again,
And go deep down, tearing the roots among the silent stones,
To let the blackness live forever.
Maybe the light will fade before its splendour…

Commit the bodies of the living to the oblivion forever,
Let them sprout the roots deep inside themselves…
Strangle!! Choke!! And then release,
So they would fall back to the ground.
