lyrics
Może tak zapisane było nam - synom Słońca?
By pchać jego pług przez niwę?
Może tak zapisane było nam - córom Księżyca?
By prząść nić krwi przez wieki?
Jeśli wichry nieznane dmą w jasne lica
Jeśli wody nieznane kołyszą serce
Jeśli ogień nieznany trawi duszę
Jeśli ziemia nieznana zły niesie sen
Gdy wichry nieznane dmą w jasne lica
nam czas stawiać żagiel utkany z wiary
Jeśli wody nieznane kołyszą serce
nam czas okręt mocniejszy zwodować
Może tak zapisane było nam - synom Gromu?
By wznosić miecz w sokolim locie?
Może tak zapisane było nam - córom Ziemi?
By kądzieli chronić czystość?
Jeśli ogień nieznany trawi duszę
nam czas pożogą rozświetlić mrok
Jeśli ziemia nieznana zły niesie sen
nam czas rozstajne porzucić drogi

The Sword and The Plough
Maybe it was destined so for us, the sons of the Sun
to push Its' plough through the soil?
Maybe it was destined so for us, the daughters of the Moon
to spin the thread of fate through ages?
If the winds unknown blow us in the face
If the waters unknown cradle our hearts
If the fire unknown devours our souls
If the soil unknown carries forth a resteless dream
If the winds unknown blow us in the face
we shall raise the sail woven from faith
If the waters unknown cradle our hearts
we shall prepare a ship even stronger
Maybe it was destined so for us, the sons of Thunder
to raise a sword in the falcon flight?
Maybe it was destined so for us, the daughters of the Soil
to protect the purity of distaff?
If the fire unknown devours our souls
we shall set fire to dispel the dark
If the soil unknown carries forth a resteless dream
we shall leave the crossroads behind
This is an absolutely phenomenal record. Much like another commenter mentioned, I have no idea how this band escaped my notice. Whatever that reason was, I am grateful they are now within my archive. The atmosphere achieved on this project is incredibly unique, and is something darkly reminiscent of where black metal was birthed - in a cold, hard, mystical place. Those facets can be heard loud and clear on Zorzysta Staje Oćma. It will likely make my top records of 2023. Hail. m_tausig
Russian Atmospheric Black Metal / Dark Ambient. This is the latest Elderwind & my first sadly because I am always later than late... But this also means I get to go through the entire discography... :) Such fantastic contrasts of desperation interspersed with sweet music passages. Highly addictive & highly recommended!!! bmurator
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler
New wędrujacy wiatr and now new āukels… 2022 is turning out to be an absolutely
Crushing year for music.
Halfway into the 3rd song I can tell already that this record is going to be listened to a thousand times over and over again. Excellent. NorthwoodsBrewer502
