lyrics

You watch clouds with empty gaze
Raven hovers in the blue sky
Mask of horror on your pale face
There is no escape, you will die

Gods are looking from the heavens
At the traitor with disdain
He was bought over by Greeks
In the name of liar's faith

His agony will never end
Arrow sticks out of his chest
Traitor's cursed! There's no repent!
Yes!
Coward and deceiver doomed
To suffer from the endless pain
He had lost the Slavic honor
Sold to the Christian slaves

Death won't be granted to you
Living dead
You're doomed to suffer in dark
Without end
Though you could soon find out that
you're wrong
No mercy to those who betrayed
Svarog

Wounded warrior lost his powers
Death is spreading its black wings
But fire still burns in his eyes
He fought valiantly on the field

He desired to die for homeland
Reddening earth with his blood
Dreamed to see the god of thunder
Roaring from the high above

Warrior hears the voice of Perun
From the halls of holy heaven
Calling him to enter his realm
Argh!
Fallen honorable warrior
I am singing song to praise you
Let the golden sun to show you
Road to the heaven's gate

Death is a gift of the gods
Oh, fighter!
You dreamed to die in battle
As I do
You should know, you are not alone
Go on and
Give your life for Svarog and keep
Your honor!
