FalconPilot Others' comments have really gone to the core of this beautiful song, and I cannot possibly say it better. However, I will say that the folks behind Stworz and their family of bands really "have it," that is a true love of what they do and serious reverence for this music and the culture from whence the melodies spring eternal.

terramotus Echoing what Schos above (or below) said, normally I love bandcamp to be my little space where I can tune out the world and get my metal jams on; however, some things are far bigger than music where desensitising oneself just isn't a viable thing to do at the time.

Great track and I hope the donation can help out in some tiny, but important way.

Brian M. Where to begin here? Spawning from the genius mind whose associated acts include Kres, Aūkels, and the inimitable Wędrujący Wiatr, Stworz has comfortably nestled themselves among the greatest acts hailing from Poland. Not only is this latest single, in my opinion, one of Stworz's greatest tracks, but all of the proceeds will be forwarded to the Ukrainian support efforts which made the purchase a no-brainer.

Schos one of your favourite bands offers a song for free and donates everything to the Ukrainians? that's when you pay before listening. Favorite track: Pieśń-Śmierć.

lyrics

Polish:

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

English:

Death-Song

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
