lyrics
Пройти сквозь мрак
И переступить
Через порог, через себя
Чтобы сохранить ...
Сам покинул, но не сгинул.
Тлел мой дом
Сажу разносил, пеленая дымом ветер
Густой тьмой, что была вокруг
Прочь от своего порога:
День придёт, а ночь сурова
Хоть и сбросили оковы -
Навек останутся в пыли.
Кто вошёл в обитель Бога
Тот и стал носитель слова
И послушали его же
Сказкой сделав быль.
В лето что пришло, злом реки осушив
Чашу испил, ступив шаг в черноту
Сам покинул, но не сгинул.
Тлел мой дом
Сажу разносил, пеленая дымом, ветер
Густой тьмой, что была вокруг
Прочь от своего порога:
День придёт, а ночь сурова
Хоть и сбросили оковы -
Навек останутся в пыли.
Кто вошёл в обитель Бога
Тот и стал носитель слова
И послушали его же
Сказкой сделав быль.
Ввысь к небу журавли
Стаею летят
А следом коршуны
Никого не пощадят
И нет теперь любви
Да и веры нет
Я уберёг себя
Жду в ночи рассвет
Кто вошёл в обитель Бога
Тот и стал носитель слова
Стань как я и стань похожим
Ты мой сын и ты мне должен!
Прочь от своего порога:
День придёт, а ночь сурова
Хоть и сбросили оковы -
Навек останутся в пыли.
Кто вошёл в обитель Бога
Тот и стал носитель слова
И послушали его же -
Что же ты затих?
To pass the darkness
And step
Over the threshold and yourself
To preserve...
Abandoned but not perished
My house smoldered
Spreading soot, enswathing wind in smoke,
In the thick darkness all around
Away from my doorstep:
Day will come, but night is harsh
Even though the shackles broken
Forever will stay in the dust.
He who entered god's abode
Hath become the voicebearer
And listen to him they did
Turning fable into truth.
What then came into summer, draining rivers with evil
Emptying chalices, making a step into darkness.
Abandoned but not perished
My house smoldered
Spreading soot, enswathing wind in smoke,
In the thick darkness all around
Away from my doorstep:
Day will come, but night is harsh
Even though the shackles broken
Forever will stay in the dust.
He who entered god's abode
Hath become the voicebearer
And listen to him they did
Turning fable into truth.
Upwards, towards the sky
Flies a flock of cranes
With kites right behind them
With no hope for mercy
And there is no love now
And no faith either
I have saved myself
Waiting for the dawn in the night
He who entered god's abode
Hath become the voicebearer
And listen to him they did
But why are you silent?
Rebellion in Teryushevsk region took place in 1743-1745 in Nizhny Novgorod Governorate. This is one of the most gloomy, cruel and harsh pages in the history of Volga region.
The beginning was the opposition of the population against the forced baptism (better known as the Christianization Mordovians), conducted by the Bishop of Nizhny Novgorod and Alatyr Dmitry. May 18, 1743 he arrived in the village of Sarley. Seeing near the church erzyan cemetery with gravestones framed in wood, he ordered to burn it. Spontaneously gathered peasants attacked the missionaries. Bishop managed to hide in the root cellar of the local priest. In a letter to the provincial office, he demanded to send a military detachment to arrest and prosecute the instigators, destroy the cemeteries near the church and villages and to prohibit sacrifices. After the departure of Bishop, the excesses of local officials, punitive teams and missionary groups have increased. Managing fiefdom arrested near 20 Erzyas and sent them as rebels to the Nizhny Novgorod provincial office. Bishop held them under a strong guard in chains and blocks, tortured them; many of them were tied up and dipped into baptistery and then the crosses were put on. The tsarist government, rather than to stop the violence, issued a decree that was to be carried out a new conscription of Erzyas. Fleeing from the chasteners, peasants fled into the woods and organized rebel groups under the lead of the Nesmeyan Vasilev (nicknamed Krivoij) from the village of Big Seskino.
In the sacred grove near the village he announced population of his county free from obligations to landlords and authorities. Under his leadership, the rebels defeated the tzar's forces near the village of Romanikha and Bortsovo. Grenadier and dragoon units were sent into the country under the command of Major-General Streshnev and Prime Major Junger. Junger's squad entered the Lapshiha village.
The battle began on November 26, 1743, which resulted in defeat of the poorly armed rebels: among Erzyas 74 people were killed, 30 were wounded, and 130 were captured. Nesmeyan Vasiliev was sentenced to burning, his associate, steward of Kleiha village Pumras Semenov - to death. Empress Elizaveta Petrovna by decree of 15 July 1744 replaced the death penalty with eternal hard labor in Siberia. The other leaders of the rebels (282 people) were subjected to severe punishment. By mid-1745 last outbreaks of Teryushevskogo uprising were suppressed.
In spite of the Christianization, Erzyan preserved their traditions to the present day and have a state formation as a part of Russia - the 13th region, Mordovia.
Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
