Khors

In the twilight of the battles that are dying out
With ashes and clotted blood layer,
With fragments of great cities
The former world has been covered.

Stars, dying away, having cast their last look.
On epoch’s decline, plunge into the gloom of chaos
The Earth has fallen asleep under the icy cover of eternity.

Only thought and memory
Are moving through the frozen darkness
Conducted by avidity and greed of knowledge
Of the latent space mysteries.

Lengthways Yggdrasil to the source of destinies
And further into the gloom and to the space of an icy flame
Where the death keeps the secret
And grants it only to the strong.

(Music and Lyrics Helg)

Gods have sprinkled the Earth with blood
Watering her ancient roots.
Breaking calmness of the world
Awakening the rebellious birds.

Screams are spread above the wood
Being lost in darkness of the sky
And having covered their force with branches
They sink in wooden mass.

The worlds of masters of destinies burn
Ashes of their bodies are spread away by the wind
Leaving only memory in souls
And haze in eyots of consciousnesses.

(Music and Lyrics Khorus)

Sometimes I feel myself living at the back of beyond
Beyond the light, beyond the reason
When nerves do not feel the rush of the wind
When the rustle of a grass can’t be heard.

Worms gnaw my skin,
Worms gnaw my soul.
Roots covers my members
And pull me in depths of the womb of the Earth.

Dawn is opening the gates of life,
Opening the heights of barrows
Revealing secrets of the wood.

The face of an idol in the reflections of the light
Plunging into shadow and cold
Leaving for eternity and oblivion.

(Music Helg, Lyrics Khorus)

Over the high hills the wind carries
The voice of the old man-magus, herald of the death
His news are echoing in the distance,
Breaking the rest of the Earth.

Proud birds sing their song
To heroes of the fights and to defeated
To their pure souls and to their unbending will

Deep waters of the river Iry
Hide bodies of the fallen
Taking souls and healing wounds

In the fog of cold gloom
Grief's moaning is heard
The moaning of the destroyed destinies
And the spell of the old man.

(Music Helg, Lyrics Khorus)

Infinite space of the lifeless land,
Naked stones with the edge of ice.
Dead sphere of madness around
Just darkness, cold and loneliness.

Wearing hands down in blood,
Clambering up the rocks
To a lonely star,
Which will show the only way with its illusive light
Where the abyss will embrace the breathless body with darkness
Will sing the song about Eternity,
About the Unity of Spirit and Blood.

I’ll see the light here, the shining of icy Asgard,
And force recognition will storm the veins, will give eternal rest.
Calmness, cold of consciousness, blood’s desire, the impulse of revenge
With icy hand I will burn out the lands with flame of hatred,
Covering the remains of mankind with ashes.

(Music and Lyrics; Helg)

... Ice desert.,
Just the light of pre-dawn star from the abyss of the soul
Tears the wounds with burning anger, clouding the memory with darkness.

The look of blind eyes sees the eternity,
Bloody battles, whirlwinds of universe,
Ice cut of space of thought
I hear the song of the void.

I will embrace the sun with a silent cloud,
I’ll put on the clothes of the wood, I’ll wash the bones with the tears of the sea.
I’ll cover the life with the grief of fog, granting you the eternal rest of icy heights
Decorating the brow of eternal loneliness with a diamond crown.

(Music Khorus, Lyrics Helg)

Waves are breaking on the rocks
The moonlight is scattered on the water
Night has fallen on the old island
Wrapping the splinter of earth with darkness

The ancient land remembers
Reflections of great battles
The eternal land still keeps
Secrets and ashes of the ancient

Glares of lightning, peals of thunder,
Abate over wood, letting the light through
And the sun, breaking through the embrace of the gloom
Will warm the Earth, bringing life to her.

(Music Helg, Lyrics Khorus)

Shadow of a black stone,
And the ancient world’s dust,
I can hear the beast moans
Although the time has passed.
I feel the power of the sky,
I know it will never lie

Quiet rain oversteps the time
And only memory retrains
Screening from celestial rime
Taking consciousness away

Bright light doesn’t blind my mind,
My hands are crossed on the chest,
Bitter taste suffocates so tight…
And when the line is limitless
I feel the world is gone astray
Taking all my dreams away

(Music Helg, Lyrics Khorus)

In the cold embrace of mist
Forest wardens are asleep,
By the magic have been ceased,
And it goes through ages deep

In the cold embrace of mist
I feel icy breath of North,
I hear whisper of black trees
And the night song of the wolf

Dreams are mirrors to old times
And they lead us to those nights
When our fathers forged their arms
And got ready for last fight

( Music and Lyrics Helg)

Silver glitter of the ice
Haughty world is crushing down
There’s a light up in the skies
Oozing out through naked boughs

Playing with its restless rays
Getting back to heaven gloom
Light is taking pain away
Like some lil’ ruby grums

Wind is whispering to me
Things I used to know before
And that sudden mystery
Takes me to the silent world

(Music and Lyrics Khorus)

In the whirlwind of ashes
I can tell forbidden signs
And dull whisper of the dashers,
Who struck bosom of the brine

Hollow wail is penetrating
Through the tatters of the haze
Brings a song that dedicated
To the glory and the praise

Being covered by a shroud
Frozen breath and icy touch
On the wings of flaming round
Till it finally comes to crunch

Wolves are wildly roaring
Till they’re out of breath,
I see ravens soaring
In the dance of death

( Music and Lyrics Helg)

Black eye-sockets of the forest mires
Staring in the distant icy edges
And into the sky and crystal stars
That still treasure wisdom of the ages

Ancient world is muffling up its bones
And revealing secrets just to me,
Sleeping to the music of the horns,
Hoping for the better times to be

( Music and Lyrics Helg)

Casting shadows, looking fake,
On the smooth of frozen lake
Trees are tossing yellow leaves
Having shut their tired eaves
They keep listening to the bray
Of the birds that fly away.

Having changed their purple cloths
For the icy armor shields
Ancient forest falls asleep
And the wolves, they gently weep
Doleful songs to lonely moon
And the winter’s coming soon

(Music Khorus/Helg, Lyrics Helg)

Through thousands of invisible lakes
The power of cold posseses the mind
Only brave one knows and hears
Never feeling the time.

Breaking the edge, he is driven be power,
Burning his skin, his heart and his soul.
Pain, enforcing his efforts,
Memory of crystal pieces
And long dreamsome night.

Brains working without tireness,
Looking for the edged wiped off.
The wind blows off the pain of the trees,
The hawl of a beast and the beat of a heart.

The power of cold covers the ground
Helplessly wood bows the branches
Falling deeply asleep
And helplessly flame is fading away.

(Music Helg, Lyrics Khorus)

Through the haze of the fog
You can hear the breath of the grief
Souls of warriors are passing away,
Bringing suffering to the hearts.

Red river carries sad news
The songs of birds cannot be heard
Silence hanging over gloomy wood
And the sun hezitating to rise.

Life and light passed away from this world
Having left the moans of sorrow
Death-rattles and mothers' sobbings.

Behing the ancient wood
Shadows of gods receive to their world
The souls of brave and eternal.

(Music Helg, Lyrics Khorus)

Moonlight attracts the beast
Closer to the edge he aims
And the stones are slipping over his legs
The abyss takes the power away.

Old beast is far from the light
Getting deeper in the dark,
Feeling breath of the death
The heart is smoothly sinking.

Memories crossing his mind:
Mother-wolf seeks for the power,
The wood is the source of knowledge,
And the night is concentration of power.

Proud leader is on the throne
Powerful glipmse of severe eyes
Attracting by ancient wisdom.

Only stone knows the secret
Of eternity and keeps the power of Earth
Through severeness of life bringing on
Through the bowels saving the soul.

( Music and Lyrics Helg)

Black bracnhes of tired trees
Bowing down suddenly broken.
Silence and crackle of burning trees.
The wind is spreading burn leaves around.

Ashes - cold of the consience.
Ashes - ice and fire,
Ashes - destiny of the brave,
Ashes - eternal throne.

The wise knows about the destiny,
Seeking for the sense of self-consiense,
Willing for the rest for the soul,
Leavs for eternity, burning down.

(Music Helg, Lyrics Khorus)

Trees are caught be ice, frozen wood asleep
The stars are cold, cold are the thorns of Heaven.

The wisdom are endless, stars are old.
It is so lonely and cold,
Through the wounds of the space
Ice cold wind carries the song of the past.

Stones in the ice, frozen rocks are asleep,
Dreams are cutting the wounds - memories of past, anciense, eternity.

(Music Khorus, Lyrics Helg)

The gods take away the lives of warriors,
Choosing the very best ones.
Families are crying for the dead,
Farewelling their souls.

The haze is covering the tops of the hills,
The ravens are flying over them.

Cold wind blowing away
Ashes of burial flame.

Old wolf at the edge of the wood
Looks with his tired old eyes
At the celebration of glory
And the greatness of death.

(Music Helg/Khorus, Lyrics Khorus)

I'm the wind of sorrow
Spreading the drops of dew
And the cold of the dawn.

I'm the flame of the destiny
Burning the remains of hope
And the frame of consciousness.

(Music Khorus, Lyrics Khorus)

Silence, dark forest
Fear, shadows are silent
Souls of ancestors, ancient signs
Power of the night oppresses conscience.

The cold is squeezing heart up to pain
Trunks of trees carrying away a glimpse
Loud shouts of ancient warriors
The moonlight exposing the darkness.

An owl screaming above the old wood
Ancient signs - souls of ancestors
The power's filled with the gloom of the wood
Eternity, pride and faith.

(Music and Lyrics Khorus)

Dusk is burning out the tops of the trees
The death has come a moment before
The glow is dying away, everyone is falling asleep
The shadow is covering all by itself

Power of night birds is coming to life
Their shouts are carried away by frightening echo
And where life was recently ruling
Now the world of shadows dominates

The night sings its song
The song of noises and sounds
The song which frightens the soul

Only phantoms of the past are silent
Rise of eternity returns them their force
Sounds of life filling the air
The power of the night is going away.

(Music and Lyrics Khorus)

In the mist of cold gloom
You can hear the moan of the grief
Illusive shadows of the past
Suffocating smell of fume.

Salty taste of blood, lacerations
Neigh of horses, breath of death.
Sunbeams burnt the souls
The earth was suffering human flesh

The wind carried away agonal rattles,
Loud shouts, furious moans
The flocks of birds of pray were spinning around in the sky
Life and death become as one.

In the darkness of the night
You can hear the moan of grief
Fury of feebleness, painful rattles
Moans of the burnt earth, divine sobbings.

(Music and Lyrics Khorus)

Hatred, burning fury,
The blood is raging in veins,
The foam dripping from canines,
Heart is beating madly.

His eyes are wide opened
His spirit is irresistible
Spirit of fury, spirit of hatred
Spirit of punishment, spirit of freedom.

The death comprehends eternity.
Grief in the eyes and feeble rattle
The full moon lightenes
Wet snow, thawed from blood.

Above the wood covered with snow
The wolf's howl is echoed away.
Howl of grief, howl of fury
Howl of hatred and freedom.

(Music and Lyrics Khorus)

Sun is shining on the crystal parts of ice
Frozen flame of angry is in my soul is in my eyes.
Stars are shining with cosmic wisdom
Hate of million worlds in my hands
Million spheres of burning coldness
In the soul of wolf, in the eyes of eternal lonelyness

Million spheres of burning ice
Million spheres of burning darkness
Space of evil coldness
In my soul,in my eyes
In the eyes of eternal lonelyness
In the eyes of eternal hanger

(Music Khorus, Lyrics Helg)

Trees are lightened by the dusk
Grey spears of fir-trees stare in the sky
And ancient as rocks the bones of earth
Keep the secret silence of the wood.

Snakes of the trees remember the names of the stars
Speeches of gods, secrets of sorcerers
The rivers tired are sleeping within their coasts
The stones keep the secrets for always.

The wrinkled face of mother Earth
Is covered with snow blanket
An army of trees is standing guard,
A single row of spears, swords and hatchets.

The sigh of space is in the noise of branches,
The reflection of stars - in pupils of lakes.
The eternal wood of ancestors remembers the names of the stars
The stones keep the secrets for always.

(Music Khorus, Lyrics Helg)

The old wood remembers the past greatness of ancestors
Ancient barrows - wounds of great battles,
Eternally towering above the ground,
Bringing up to life power and pride.

The fiery sun of dusk disappears behind the wood
The frightened birds become silent
Only sculptures of ancient gods stately stand on the hill
As if the memory of the past.

Roots of trees grabbing the soul
Reveiling memories of ancient battles
Great victories and terrible deaths.

Above the ancient wood a raven is spinning around
Symbol of wisdom and pride.

Ancient monuments of the past
Symbols of eternity and pride.

(Music and Lyrics Khorus)
