lyrics

In those ancient times
The forest was our house
We were looking for a night shelter
Under tree crowns

In gurgling brooks and in rustling leaves
We heard the voice of nymphs
We were looking for signs in the flight of birds
And felt equal to wild beasts

In dwellings made with our hands
And under artificial light
Supernatural seems like our make-believe
But we still are afraid of night
With fire we come
Dispelling darkness it sears
Our deepest fears
It illuminates our path
It purifies and wipes away
For enemies nothing remains
Where we had been
Therefore with fire we leave

He that killeth an ox
Is as if he slew a man
Well, no, upon every beast of the Earth
Shall be the fear of you and the dread

Go ye into all the world
And spread the good word
About Father’s mercy to His beloved sons
What a delight! God is with us!
I stand still
In the centre of the cycle of time
Centuries
Are passing me by

I saw cities growing
And been destroyed
Empires been created
And thrown into void

I stand still
Aghast with what I see
Surrounded with hell-fire of the Siberian taiga
My lungs arc bounded with soot
It’s hard and painful to see
The burning trees,
Nests, horns, hair and hooves

The wind raises ashes
And fills my mouth
Covers my head
The haze covers my mind...
The dust of my children burned alive!
You’ve paid the highest price...
