O'er there a storm cloud's sulking in the sky,
With a sullen gale it broke a little tree,
Tree tumbled down and embraced the grass,
Now there's no shady place for maidens' cheerful songs.
The bells are ringing their bitter song since dawn,
Under the pinewood cross the pit is damp and muggy,
And mournful maidens weep o'er that poor grave
And spill their teardrop-gems onto the ground.
No more daring thoughts in those restive locks,
No more fair sparkle of his words for centuries to come,
What were you thinking with your heated soul?
How could you think those thoughts as bold as brass?
Why haven't you, young fellow, stayed brave until the end?
For that now all the folk can see you on the wooden post
With swift whips dancing on your poor back
With salt of tears dripping down on the wounds.
Why haven't you, young fellow, waited till the summer?
Why haven't you cared to see your mother and your father?
What were you thinking with your heated soul?
How could you think those thoughts as dark as night?
No more daring thoughts in those restive locks,
No more fair sparkle of his eyes for centuries to come
Там на небушке туча сердится
Злою бурею сломила деревце
Повалилося расстелилося в траве
Больше негыде в тенечике девкам песни петь
Колокола гремят горьку песню сутра
Под сосновым да под крестом ямушка сырым сыра
Как над ямкою да над той девки плакали
На земельку да под венком Слезки капали.
Боле нет смелых дум в своенравных кудрях
Светлой искры речей на вечныя века.
Как раздумывал ты горячею душой
Как надумал думы дерзкия шальною головой
Что ж ты добрый молодец смелость не сдержал
Да за то на столыбе кажешь спинушку
Да плети быстрыи плясали по спине
Да из ранок да их твоих солены слезоньки
Что ж ты добрый молодец лета не дождалыся
Что ж ты с матерью да с отцом не свидалыся
Как раздумывал ты горячею душой
Как надумал думы темные мутной головой
Боле нет смелых дум в своенравных кудрях
Светлой искры в очах на веки вечныя.

saw this on a best darksynth albums list, and after seeing that I already owned everything on the list except for this, decided to check it out. I don't know how such an elite banger stayed under my radar for so long. this is insanely good! pulse pounding cyberpunk darksynth that is just my cup of tea with a solid feature list to boot. utterly fantastic. palehorse666
good old fashioned 80's style retrosynth. nothing too complicated here, but it works. lots of driving, catchy synth hooks to keep you interested. palehorse666
