The soul belongs to God
But unto us the body belongs
Rentre fentre
Speaking beyond their own reason
Be fearful man before praying
Kindra fendra
Kiraveca
The red sun has set
Whirling in mysterious death
Rentre fentre
Second supreme baptism
No salvation without sin
Kindra fendra
Kiraveca

Matushka

|
In the dawn of my empire
Sorrow's joy estranged from me
Both eyes closed although awake
Speak no more of yesterday
спи мой возлюбленный (spi moy vozlyublenniy)
мой прекрасный (moi prekrasnyi)
Sleep my beloved
My beautiful one
In death blooms a reign of peace
Your Matushka I will always be
Close your eyes to the nightmares
Love is a golden empire
спи мой возлюбленный (spi moy vozlyublenniy)
мой прекрасный (moi prekrasnyi)
Sleep my beloved
My beautiful one

Old Believers

|
All that is perceived
Merely shadows of the unseen
Endlessly seeking paradise
Kingdom beneath the white waters
Ки́теж
Unsung harmonies echo
Buried within the clamour
Forbidden invocations
Kingdom beneath the white waters
Ки́теж
Rejecting this world
In priestless immolation
A new heaven on an old earth
Kingdom beneath the white waters
Ки́теж
No patience for the apocalypse
The Faithful would rather burn than surrender

Rusulka

|
At the pinnacle of summer
Amidst the willow and birch
Ghost crone virgin
Lost soul of a maiden
She awaits
Your cross your circles and wormwood
Your incense and salt won't save you
Before the time of Christ
An unbaptized child
She awaits
Dance the helpless dance
Into the arms of the abyss
Water is calling you
She awaits
Deadly laughter echoes
Through the haunted trees
Spirits of the drowned
Lure men with their song
She awaits
Dance the helpless dance
Into the arms of the abyss
Water is calling you
She awaits

The Double
04:27
|
|||
|
Himself by himself
Never alone
Sorrow is concealed in gilded palaces
There is no escape
He met a stranger on the bridge
In the sideways rain
Made in his image
Sent to take his place
He sees but does not see
The adversary
Devils breed in still waters
There is no escape
He met a stranger on the bridge
In the sideways rain
Made in his image
Sent to take his place

The Portrait
07:41
|
|||
|
Ready to raise the Devil
An arrogant wreck on the boulevard
Fame gives no pleasure to him who has stolen it
The eyes of the painted man in the half light of the moon
The sick one knew nothing
Save vain desire and passions
He grew unrecognized colorless and oh so cold
The eyes of the painted man crept out of the frame
All the purple and all the gold in the world
Oh to sell a soul for it all
No monster of ignorance
Ever destroyed so much
How could he forget the wretched portrait
The eyes of the painted man an invocation of the damned
All the purple and all the gold in the world
Oh to sell a soul for it all
Mercilessly wasted youth
Magnificence and beauty extinguished
All the purple and all the gold in the world
Oh to sell a soul for it all

Troika
02:29
|
|||
|
Into the cold unknown
Two wounded hearts setting out
Through frozen beautiful snow
A troika flies them home
Beyond Moscow's dead souls
Two weary minds make a new life
Among the people
A troika flies them home
Into the cold unknown
Is home

The Last Christmas Tree
05:59
|
|||
|
Do you know who I am, he said with a smile
I'm a friend of your father's late wife
When you were a boy, innocent and weak
I gave you a gift that would take all the pain away
Too young to remember or just too weak
The last December under the last Christmas tree
