There,
Where the winds dwell
In the northern mountains -
Behind a stream of white waters,
There lived a country of lakes folks -
They forged neither a shield nor a sword,
And did not know any battles.
They knew
Since birth, old folks and young,
The White Water lands are holy
Who would color in ruby red
Whirlpool of white water -
Won’t pass the gates of winter
And sink into the kingdom of darkness.
Like a white crest,
Like a white serpent,
Like a white flare
Into the thickets green.
Echo of songs,
Echo of screams -
The White Guard remembers [them].
And the foam of the waters
Carries it
Broken sword,
Burnt raft,
It shines, sparkles and sings
That everyone will disappear
In their turn...
He walked
Lord with his horde
Through the mountains to the battle -
And he colored in ruby red
The river of white water...
Not one returned
From that battlefield.
Like a white crest,
Like a white serpent,
Like a white flare
Into the thickets green.
Echo of songs,
Echo of screams -
The White Guard remembers [them].
And the foam of the waters
Carries it
Broken sword,
Burnt raft,
It shines, sparkles and sings
That everyone will disappear
In their turn...

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
