Raven of Revenge
07:17
|
|||
Far in the mountains
and far from the folks,
the cry of a newborn
broke (the) usual calm
a woman, fate, in dark clothes crossed the doorsill
the unknown magic and old wisdom brought a prophecy
Born on a day when flowers wake up from their sleep,
So beautiful and virginal as daisy she will be
Words which bring proudness,
and ignoring the fear
might end up in sadness,
only undying tears
Like a spirit and my charm,
Am I the chosen one to
(to enter) dominion
The black look of my lord
broke my dreams
raped my soul
Hear the prophecy,
crystal clear, compelling
Words which caused the laugh and tempted destiny,
evoked the curse and called the dark day dream
In the light of the moon, and
dark shades of wood,
escaping from evil and vengeance of doom
The black raven croaks, and blood gets cold
in veins of the guards, insanity storm
Black raven croaks,
blood becomes cold
Mad lord runs crazy, spreading terror, flagellating, evil around
grumbling on his man he did not share his maid, trust in failure
primae noctis is my law and those who'll break it will regret it
I'll hunt them, find them, slash them, rape her, kill before sentencing them
As his dogs and horses, men and army, the dead bodies ruined their dream
Foreseen blood and sadness, mourning hopeless, calling never ending tears
calling never ending tears

Salt not more than Gold
06:24
|

Days were quiet,
nights were long,
before the witch queen
held the throne
Gathered clouds above
the princedom
not Perun's anger
but threat of evil
Pain, is what you will feel
when all of you will kneel
in front of our darkest princess
her might, is what you will fear,
when your eyes will see,
how she turns men into ravens
Da-ark days came
upon the land
women, children,
and all the men
will be enslaved
to build her castle
of salt stones
and the endless glare
Walls are glowing,
if day or night,
if sunlight or the
bright moon shines
The world did not
see such a castle
strolling singers
singing serenades
Under a veil in the morning breeze
under a lee of frosted trees
a fairy gives him a sword, belt of braveness
and flower of cleverness
With a deep love in his heart
to a maid turned into a black cat
the fountain with water of life
will scat the darkest spells
The son of the salty kingdom
his army meets the spells
blood and thunder, flying witches
the castle melts in rain
Pain, is what you will not feel
and none of you will kneel
in front of self-created goddess
her might, is not what you will fear,
it will be only tales,
when she turned men into ravens

Deep in the mountains
they say a recluse lives
He's not a monastic
with prayers outspoken
Instead of the cross
instead of a prayer desk
only a timber board
and two books to use them
Not a dream
nor a man unreal
to saddle a dragon
From one book he reads words
in one he captures thoughts
and embeds his powers
(even) defeasive by others
Mighty's the warlock
the fear of the dragons
the only one who knows
(how) to turn them to a horse
Not a dream
nor a man unreal
to ride on the dragon
Utekajme vsetci
cernoknazik leti
v ohnivom oblaku
sediaci na draku
beda tomu lesu
kde ho kridla nesu
beda tomu mestu
kadial vezme cestu
Flames are slashing from the sky
black wings are forcing storm to dance
breaking trees in small pieces
hurricane and wind releases
Dragon flying above wide land
fields and meadows burning black
Humans hiding in villages
smell of fire, help religion
I call you, come out
step out
from your cave and face my
spells, meet sunlight
you'll be led by my
dark enchantment
Hear my words
in your dream
you'll be my horse
which seeds the fear
In your flames
many will die
ahead of me
meekness will
rise again

Prince of Melancholy
06:11
|
|||
He was a lonely soul
who wandered through the woods
prince of melancholy,
and his dreamful thoughts,
the innocent love
in his mind,
an empty hole
in his pensive heart
The forest cheered the man
with open arms,
with shining stars
in bright nights
he sat under a
giant oak,
and dreamed about an
unknown love
When the trees pray an orison,
his sight ended beyond the horizon,
a storm interposed his thoughts
the rain opened the gate to another world
A small cabin, what does it hide,
is it the dream, or is it real,
looks into her eyes so deep,
and felt in love with no way out
I feel the air,
I feel no pain
in death's embrace,
dole in my face
I greet the end
the doom did
not allow
us both
to stay in...
... love
we walked alone
our hearts
innocent thoughts
I stay your
eternal flame
lost the wings of hope
Now I see you
in the light of chamber
on a high cliff
and I surrender
one step
into the darkness
inhumes our tale
I feel you in my dreams
your open mouth without kiss
Your body, turned to stone,
grim as the pain you've gone through

Twelve of everything
05:13
|

Twelve sons in the kingdom and a
dark curse to remember
alone over years
against mother's face
Hey hey brothers,
in abandoned castle,
damn your sister
you never saw
to be the one
who cursed your lives
to be the reason
of your trail
Twelve chairs around the table, and
soup, plates, golden chamber
I fear what will come
when they'll return
Hey hey brothers,
in abandoned castle,
I'm your sister
you never heard
and not the one
who cursed your lives
and not the reason
of your trail
Wood so dark, only trees around
13 years same day has come
Lost in time with no way out
until the curse falls down
Man, who sits in dark,
who cursed the king,
our father's destiny
Cut his head, to break the curse
and release this desert place
.. place was the home of a folk,
with careless life and fortune,
blue sky, shining sun, rivers flowing, birds singing
before the sky became clouded forever
and all that turned to dust
that wind has spread across the land
and all that was gone

Black Bird's Beard
07:41
|
|||
Who's that maid,
so innocent,
between dark walls
the beauty dwells
Whose heart's cold
acts so highbrow
so vainglorious
spitting upon
From far I came
to see your face
if that's so real
(as) the gossip says
observe you there
through small alcove
my heart does say
words did not lie
Contempt for feelings
has doomed you to sentence
no prince, nor king, but sorner
becomes your bridegroom
Whom do these montains belong?
The king you refused, whose love you ruined
For whom do these meadows grow?
For the king with beard, you had laugh of
Hills or valleys, grasslands, gardens,
air you breath, mighty king owns them
Laid all to your feet, so his heart
Forgive my king, forgive my contempt

Love and Stone
05:33
|
|||
Escaping from the disturbance
that has mixed into my blood
Enquiring after something
Do not know which way to turn
The flame, that dwells,
the eyes don't see but
heat that is felt
Once I saw you in the river,
my heart blazed up with love,
a tragic journey started
and a mournful doom to come
Beware, who dares,
to enter my castle, a
dark curse awaits
Calling my fate
with magic and spells, from
humans only
a cold stone'll remain
One way down, one way of out,
there's a place we all can hide, your
heart has called to prove your love
on a way with no return.
One way down, one way out
at the end they all must die, your
heart has called to prove your love
on a way with no return.
The curse has come for us,
our young innocent love
stays in our grave
and will last forever
Forgotten in the ruins
small flower on a stone
a tale full of sorrow,
we'll remember
