Текст и перевод песни Аркона - Liki bessmertnykh bogov

Liki bessmertnykh bogov

Stoj, vechnost' ‒ pravda slepaja!
S javi vo skverne
Ja ubegaju
S mol'boju o zhizni vzdymaja k rodimoj svjatyne
Ty zrish' vnikuda, v pelenu svoih snov
I v jetom zabvenii dushi, v seroj zhizni smjatenii
Vosprjanut zhe v pamjati Liki bessmertnyh Bogov
Gde suwnost' jetogo mira?
V chuzhdoj mne javi dushu zabyla
Stoj, vechnost' ‒ pravda slepaja!
S javi vo skverne ja ubegaju
V bezumstve nochi ty vidish', kak staraja deva
Pomanit tebja na ukazannyj put'
No vnov', vstrepenuvshis', ty vyrvesh'sja s jetogo plena
I vospominan'ja podymut tu strashnuju sut'
Kak polzaja zmeem, kasajas' nezrimyh koren'ev
Ty pal v pustotu bytija neizvedannoj t'my
I vot ty odin na prostorah izvechnoj svjatyni
I v mysljah ty vspomnish' o tom, chto byl predan ljud'mi
Gde suwnost' jetogo mira?
V chuzhdoj mne javi dushu zabyla
Stoj, vechnost' ‒ pravda slepaja!
S javi vo skverne ja ubegaju
V holodnoj zhizni zhazhdesh' ognja
Chto umiraet v jeto mgnoven'e
I vnov' tebja okutaet t'ma -
Strah pred smerti zabven'em
I na rasput'e jetih dorog
Snom okutajut chary
Uvidish' navi tihij chertog
Ty v obejatijah Mary
Stoj, vechnost' ‒ pravda slepaja!
S javi vo skverne ja ubegaju
Ja uhozhu...

Faces of Immortal Gods

Stop, eternity - truth is blind!
From reality to filth
I run away
With a plea for life, raising my hands to my native shrine
You gaze into nowhere, into the veil of your dreams
And in this oblivion of the soul, in the grey life's confusion
The Faces of Immortal Gods will rise in memory
Where is the essence of this world?
In a reality alien to me, I forgot my soul
Stop, eternity - truth is blind!
From reality to filth, I run away
In the madness of the night, you see, like an old maid
Beckons you to the designated path
But again, startled, you will break free from this captivity
And memories will raise that terrible essence
Crawling like a snake, touching invisible roots
You fell into the void of being, into the unknown darkness
And here you are alone in the vastness of the eternal shrine
And in your thoughts you will remember that you were betrayed by people
Where is the essence of this world?
In a reality alien to me, I forgot my soul
Stop, eternity - truth is blind!
From reality to filth, I run away
In the cold life you crave fire
That dies in this moment
And again darkness will envelop you -
Fear of death by oblivion
And at the crossroads of these roads
Sleep will cover you with its spell
You will see the quiet abode of Navi
You are in the embrace of Mara
Stop, eternity - truth is blind!
From reality to filth, I run away
I am leaving...
