Thalarion
Tunes Of Despondency



1. 911 - As the War Raged

There are bonfires on the high hills of the Tatras
There are desires for war on the hills of the Fatras
There are choes of the loud roaring war cries
There are the men of steel standing almost under the skies

Up the hills the warriors slowly march
They are shielded with the thick larch
They are as one in body and brain
They don't feel any fatigue and pain

The pitiless battle is raging the whole night
And masses of men are dying in this tiresome fight
Above the battlefield the moon is shining bright
And the stodorans are giving an abysmal fright

911 - At the close of the year
Bravery and power of stodoran's tribe appear
Absolute triumph of the stodorans is very near
And numerous bonfires of victory are blazing clear

The battle is over, all the ground is soaked in gore
20000 men were killed in the war
The ugrians suffered a crushing defeat
And the stodorans performed a great feat


2. My Bitter Overstrain

This spooky night I am walking in the rain
I am very tired to continue on my way
Avoiding the other humans, living all alone
I am curious who will soften my grief, my dismay

The leaves are falling down to my feet
I am treading on them quite indifferent
My mind is free like a flight of a bird
But my legs are heavy to carry on

The falling drops of rain are accompaning me
Along with the starless cloudy sky
Half-dead I am tumbling down on my knees
Asking the goddess Shiva for power, for stamina

Behold the sky and see the clouds crying
Keep your providential spirit, keep your brawn
Behold the ground in the sadness drowning
You ought to recover because the curtain is drawn

With open soul I am diving into my memories
They are grand but veiled by the sorrow
Now is the time to gather all my strength
Because I wish to live and see tomorrow

Behold the sky and see the clouds crying
Keep your providential spirit, keep your brawn
Behold the ground in the sadness drowning
You ought to recover because the curtain is drawn


3. Tunes of Despondency

In melancholic waves of celestial gloominess
Where the goodness fights against the evilness
Crestfallen clouds are confirming their coolness
As they have forever lost their contriteness

Silent harmony is getting lost in a looseness
But it still radiates some special spookiness
Resolute melodies are gaining a spacious imperiousness
Bringing only the time of gentle gruffness

In kaleidoscopic whirl of sensual seediness
There's an ostensible cheerfulness concealing sadness
Placid tones are unconcernedly swimming in tediousness
Veiling the sorrowful epoch of tender-heartedness

All the atmosphere is abounding in deep softness
But the melodies are coalescing into abstrusness
Astounding mood attains the august slackness
Where the downcast tunes fade out in timelessness

In kaleidoscopic whirl of sensual seediness
There's an ostensible cheerfulness concealing sadness
Placid tones are unconcernedly swimming in tediousness
Veiling the sorrowful epoch of tender-heartedness


4. A Tatrastream Romance

The bare trees are blooming with frost
And I am looking for what I had lost
I grasped that the nature is a whole
My life gets lost in a black hole

It is cold, it's the freezing cold
The loose snow is grating under my feet
It is sparkling like gold
The ground breathes heavily beneath the white sheet

Oh Tatras, my land, mighty mountains
Sleeping and slumbering in the stillness
Unveil the mysteries hidden under the ice
Stupendous knowledge of the natural steadiness

I am trying to get me out of the trance
As I am living through the tatrastream romance
It seems to be so easy at a glance
To live through the tatrastream romance

Magnificent cascades are crossing my path
Into the unknown they calmly flow free
The clean restless waves offer a fresh bath
To cleanse my soul and body to a degree

Transparent drops overflow through my hands
The omnipotent power of water gives me brands
The water vapour is slowly surrounding me
So henceforth I shall be living in harmony

Oh Tatras, my land, mighty mountains
Sleeping and slumbering in the stillness
Unveil the mysteries hidden under the ice
Stupendous knowledge of the natural steadiness

I am trying to get me out of the trance
As I am living through the tatrastream romance
It seems to be so easy at a glance
To live through the tatrastream romance


5. Tatyana

Tatyana, in her heart obeying
The simple folkways of the past
Believed in dreams and in soothsaying
And heeded what the moon forecast

Weird apparitions would distress her
And any object could impress her
With some occult significance
Or dire foreboding of mischance

A preening pussycat, relaxing
Upon the stove with lick and purr
Was an unfailing sign to her
That guests were coming, or a waxing
Twin-horned young moon that she saw ride
Across the sky on her left side

Would make her tremble and change color
Each time a shooting star might flash
In the dark firmament, grow duller
And burst asunder into ash

All flustered, Tatyana would be seeking
While yet the fiery spark was streaking
To whisper it her heart's desire
But if she met a black-robed friar

At any place or any season
Or if from out the meadow swath
A fleeing hare should cross her path
She would be frightened out of reason
And filled with supertitious dread
See some calamity ahead


6. My Weakness

Destructive tendencies
Still beside deep inside
I'm too weak to survive
And so faint to feel

Do you know how I feel?

The heat inside, exploding silence
I feel I'm gonna smash or cry

Who will give me more power
More pleasure for my soul?
Is that fear or anger within me
To blow me up and disappear?

Why do I feel so cheated?
Not knowing where my guilt dwells
Why everything you trust
Must hurt you and then turn to dust?

Expected relapses
Overstrain all my mind
I'm too slack to fight
And much rare for sacrifice

Do you know how I feel?

The heat inside, exploding silence
I feel I'm gonna smash or cry


7. Confined

Marked with a touch of infinity
The desperate archer
Stained the bow with a legacy for future
Just several moments before his bloody end

The arrow hit its aim after the centuries
And it was my heart
As the candle in the keen autumnal wind
Hero's life went out at inexorable battle
Side by side with his slavic brothers

His soul still lives in mine
His memories are part of mine

That deed lit the restless flame in my inside
Confined in presence I suddenly became it
Me, Niit'Ranian, created from the ashes of the hero
I rise as legendary phoenix to honour
And protect the rare heritage of the slavs

His soul still lives in mine
His memories are part of mine

The time exists no more for him
Who is marked with a touch of infinity
Created from ashes I rise as phoenix
To honour and protect the heritage of the slavs
Till the last breath... to the death


8. The Endless Cacophony

The freezing fog lifts high, carrying those dreams to come
Spawned by the mirthless visions of what is true
Of queer and elder mysteries beyond all belief
Those tales have passed through nightshade shades
Having spoken from the planets to the planets
Since they walked upon the face of the earth

Old frantic melodies of ancient entities
Guided by madly whistling windechoes
Furiously sweep across deep-hidden Triton's caves
No man has dreamed of, nor ever imagined

Tales of the woods, the odd memories
Thousand of starmist's reflections
Abyssal harmonies of shuddersome dark
Archaic dreams of the old ones perfection

The mist of dreams, mist out of time
Where only gods walk their paths
Where only gods dream awake
At the thousands of silver stars

The fog has built the image of divine
And revealed the mystery of the ancient ones
Mystery that no mortal dare to penetrate
Mystery of the gods who've never died
Who just slept the sleep of wisdom
And dreamed their dreams in lotus gardens
Far beyond the crimson glare of sunset
The time is drawing near to awake from the fatal dream
The final day of man comes forth
To confess from the centuries of ignorance

Far too long we've dwelled in lotus gardens
Far too long have been kept within our dreams
The dreams that are the only media
For us to speak unto souls of men
The time of us is about to fall
Our voices are soon about to speak
The time has come to awake from dreams
It's the time of awakening
Awakening of the gods... downfall of man

The mist of dreams, mist out of time
Where only gods walk their paths
Where only gods dream awake
At the thousands of silver stars

Listen to their voices as they sing aloud
Listen to the flutes endless cacophony
For it's your life's very last melody


9. Fly Away

Your fiery eyes, but heart of ice
I will never be your another sacrifice
That could be victimized for this eventide
Because it would injure your affected pride

Fly, fly... fly like a nightingale
Fly, fly... fly through the gale
Fly, fly... fly as far as you dare
Fly, fly... fly and beware

I am looking through the glass
Seeing the time to pass
I am feeling the strongest gust
Diving my legs into dust

Fly, fly... fly like a nightingale
Fly, fly... fly through the gale
Fly, fly... fly as far as you dare
Fly, fly... fly and beware

Fly away, fly away from me
Try not to discover my secrecy
Fly away, fly away from me
You are left to my tender mercy

Fly, fly... fly like a nightingale
Fly, fly... fly through the gale
Fly, fly... fly as far as you dare
Fly, fly... fly and beware
