1.	Years Of Prophecy (feat. Mathias Lillmåns) 06:02	lyrics	buy track
Years Of Prophecy Years of prophecy Dreams or trueful stories Might of ancestry behind Is it fabulous tale, maybe just a myth What we must sing About concern, about joy What we must praise in our hymns Warriors' courage and valour, or firmness Field is wide, we can't see the edge Way is long, can't see its end We can't find the night sky down, can't touch the stars Gorgeous sunshine didn't prompt Bright crescent didn't advise And soothsayers were laid down Our memory turned, now it's all false Where have you gone, magicians Who instructed us of living Who can give us real knowledge What is worth to hymning Field is wide, we can't see the edge Way is long, can't see its end We can't find the night sky down, can't touch the stars Memories of a nation There are songs of what we don't know There were days of great glory, Were days of defeat Heroes and mongrels There are songs of what we don't know There were days of great glory …Were days of defeat Where have you gone, magicians Where have you gone Who instructed us of living Who give us all Where have you gone, magicians Where have you gone Where have you gone, magicians Where have you gone Where have you gone
2.	Sun Shine Our Land (feat. Keith Fay) 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Sun Shine Our Land I'm coming back in to bright lands From the past times sleeping in darkness "Stop your roaming," call the fathers Who keep the Time in bright lands Sunshine our land — dispersing the dark Restore the motion of the times Sun shine our land — filling with fire Faith of tribes in sunny lands Keeping a secret word in the stones Hiding decay of wills in the barrows Winds which rustle in crowns of trees Disturbing the Memory they will revive it Sunshine our land — dispersing the dark Restore the motion of the times Sun shine our land — filling with fire Faith of tribes in sunny lands
3.	Бей, молот! 06:48	lyrics	buy track
Бей, молот! Духов пламени призвал коваль: Силой яростной войдите в сталь! Тайну древнюю хранит волшба: Молот – дар богов, а горн – судьба. Бей Молот! Бей с силой! Облик меча сталь примет! Бей Молот! Бей с силой! Мир новый пробуди! Ковало – мир в кругу земном, А молот – то небесный гром. Плуг куёт кузнец – взойти полям! Меч куёт кузнец – полечь врагам! Славься, горна песнь и сила рук! Духи у огня смыкают круг. Молоту плясать, огню гореть - Вновь обретут черты и жизнь, и смерть. Бей Молот! Бей с силой! Облик меча сталь примет! Бей Молот! Бей с силой! Мир новый пробуди!
4.	War Is Closed By Us 05:37	lyrics	buy track
War Is Closed By Us This war is closed by us Warriors die nearby They defend their lands From foes with battle cry Raise your sword, take a bow Fortify the outworks Say farewell, saddle a horse Put on a hauberk It’s time to stand and fight Time to protect the ground Of evergreen early days Of all the cherished bounds Go forth and let it be war Swear to win or die Don’t let them overthrow Your brother stands by In the bloody battle only spirit survives Body will decay forever Forever! You own the right to live Right to save your homeland Don’t let your heart misgive Ride with a sure hand Many will stand against Make your sword sing and dance Wine it with enemy’s blood Your soul is incensed It’s time to pay respect To all your ancestors Bow to the sacred ground They will watch, so bestir Your turn to rise and war With the invaders’ dark Let your child live and be As free as a lark In this gory battle Only spirit is to survive Leave all your fears Away Sacrifice flesh, acquire eternal life All for the Halcyon days
5.	Holiday of Fathers (feat. Thor Bager) 09:00	lyrics	buy track
Holiday of Fathers Bring forth your wine Bring forth your drinks A big fire will light up the night . . . light up the night! The songs are singing and the beеr drinking We are feasting — we are pleasing the Gods Night is like days 'cause fires light it Joy is at the faces and let fear become ashes Night is like day and here is our happiness Holiday of fathers and here is our gladness Tomorrow we will be at work again Now we're singing the songs, praising the Gods Gorgeous sunshine brings us joy Bright sickle Moon is now with us Holiday of fathers is now with us Holiday of fathers is the holiday of ours We are gathered around the fire To recollect our fathers We are gathered here together To recollect ourselves The time of battles for now passed Let's chase away time of grief Our children are here with us Our ancestors are here with us Gorgeous sunshine brings us joy Bright sickle Moon is now with us Holiday of fathers is now with us Holiday of fathers is the holiday of ours
6.	My Last Day (feat. Srub) 05:12	lyrics	buy track
My Last Day Here came that day The last day of my existence Sing me your calming song, Wind, which waves over woods I am following you In ghostly dream into heaven There I’ll stay for good Like ashes of piles under foot Oh, take my life, my enemy My gods are dead, you know Run your sword through my body My spirit’s broken No, I did not betray you, Past, which was my destiny No, I had not the least doubt As my decision was really But new times had come here To the burial mounds kingdom Land had plunged into long sleep Waiting the return of the truth Maybe they’ll go away, Days with no light and hope Rivers will fill again With life of heaven and earth And as outcasts again Into heat of desert lands You’ll be leading by him, Disseminator of greedy hopes
7.	Вихрь времени 04:08	lyrics	buy track
Вихрь времени Вихрь лент и златых волос - Сенокос, пляс до утра. Хмель по кружкам золотой, Мёд хмельной - пира пора. Лишь бард старый у костра Песнь поёт - в ней стали звон. Тот, кто славен был вчера - По зиме пылью стал в вихре времён. Снег, кровь... Лед зимних звёзд - И вопрос, чья вина. Воронов багряный пир, Хрупкий мир смяла война. Лишь бард, кутаясь в плащ, Песнь поёт - в ней кубков звон. Всему, о чём вчерашний плач, По весне пылью стать в вихре времён. Взлёт-падение - в вихре времени... Вечен танец - смерть... рождение... Волны плещутся, камни точатся, Слёзы мира граня в сокровище...

about

Alkonost Naberezhnye Chelny, Russia

The band's history began in the second half of 1995, when Andrey Losev decided to start his own project. His attention was drawn to medieval music and Russian folk melodies. One year later, in August 1996, Alkonost was born. In over 20 years, the band has gone through many changes, but its unique sound and special atmosphere remained, being the band's distinctive features for all that time. ... more
