lyrics
W całunie z rannych mgieł
nadeszła w kraje śmierć
za czarnym welonem
w brzozowej koronie
W ludu płytki sen
leje zatrutą krew
za czarnym welonem
błędny wzrok płonie
Z mogił wilgotnych łona
żałobna pieśń jej woła
odmyka wrota cerkwi
i żyje gdy lud kona
Jej pieśń rozdziera niebiosa
zakrywa jasne lica skrawawioną ziemią
W śmiertelnych godach pohańbiona
Jej wianek z głogów i cierni
W licu przeczystym zaśpiewy śród świtu
odbiły się niczym zaklęcie
i opadł na kraje urok z wyrajów
jak zapis w omszałej księdze
Jej pieśn czerniejszą czyni noc
i dusi świtu złoty owoc
I poi martwą wodą spragnione dusze gwiazd
Jej pieśń zatruwa ich blask
W licu przeczystym zaśpiewy śród świtu
odbiły się niczym zaklęcie
i opadł na kraje urok z wyrajów
jak zapis w omszałej księdze
W całunie z rannych mgieł
nadeszła w kraje śmierć
jej pieśń to sen
jej sen to krew
W całunie z rannych mgieł
nadeszła w kraje śmierć
jej wiano to pustka
i ziemi pełne usta
W całunie z rannych mgieł
nadeszła w kraje śmierć
jej łono płodne życiem
by zasiać krwawą niwę
i spłacić wiano pustki
i z lica otrzeć grudy
by zerwać złoty owoc
za rzekę przegnać noc

Song-death
Shrouded in morning mists
death came into lands
behind the black veil
adorned with birch crown
she poures poisoned blood
unto folk's shallow slumber
behind the black veil
eyes burn with madness
from the wet graves womb
her dirge calls
opens church door wide
and lives on as the folk dies
Her song tears heavens asunder
and covers faces with bloody soil
disgarced in lethal wedding
her wreath made of hawthornes
In a face so pure
a chant amidst the dawns
reflected as if a spell
And a curse from beyond
fell upon the lands
as if written in mossy tome
Her songs blackens the night
and smothers the golden fruit of dawn
she quenches the thirst of stars
with poisoned water
her song contaminates their shine
In a face so pure
a chant amidst the dawns
reflected as if a spell
And a curse from beyond
fell upon the lands
as if written in mossy tome
Shrouded in morning mists
death came into lands
her song is a dream
her dream is blood
Shrouded in morning mists
death came into lands
her dowry is emptiness
and a mouth filled with soil
Shrouded in morning mists
death came into lands
her womb fertile with life
to sow the bloody fields
and to pay the dowry off
and clear the soil off the face
to obtain a golden fruit
and drive the night away
away, beyond the river
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
