I, SHAMAN

There is a song That faded away A long time ago Faded into the void Of the seas Which now lie ahead of me There is a light That was devoured by darkness Of the night which Now lies ahead of me There is a grave That the dead warriors Depart every morning When I call their spirits To stand by me in a battle There is an empty boat That takes All the dead warriors To hunt and to fight Till all worlds and times are finished I lead my ancestors' armies in my blood Till all worlds and times are finished There is an empty boat That takes you away There is a song That faded away There is a light That was devoured by darkness

A long time ago a song began Into a story the words did weave And they became A road winding in the stars No one to hear No one to see Only the moon Only the sun And as a road winding in the stars The story made its way right here And stopped here In my hands No one to hear No one to see Only the moon Only the sun The song and me The words fell onto the mountain tops so the clouds devoured them And carried them again to the streams, to the rivers To the lakes and the song stopped here, in my hands And yet the words, the fog, the dawn Were going on forever So I was waiting for the song's end Lost in this one moment of small eternities Now beneath the grove Only two of us sit Me and the song No one else to hear Or to see

When you comprehend the light in yourself To you the dark is near When you comprehend the dark in yourself To you the light is near But when you rise up drunk Drunk from the moon The rising sun will never make you sober Never

I have numbered all the days You have lived, you - the half-spun web I know exactly how many days You have lived, you - the half-spun web It is you again, dear half-spun web Never ending never beginning Tell me, when will you die? With me? Or later? Let`s hold our hands Let`s see If our soldiers Fight on the same side How unfortunate it is They always fight Against each other How unfortunate it is To see them die Let us sit Together on that old hill Let us drink the wine Let us watch them die Let us drink the wine Let us watch them die You died with them Your promises to come Were empty words You are gone without a trace I searched for your holy grail I searched But you are gone Without a trace

I set off early on my way From the Tree of the Worlds By evening I wanted To have traversed all the roads All the roads that started at that tree And find, at last, my heart’s desire I watered my Dragon At the Lake of Clouds and Rainbows I ordered Him to be In every minute at every place Yet I couldn't find, Couldn't find my heart's desire I stayed in every minute at every place Yet I didn't want to stay for too long So I ordered the swift-moving sun to dip in the west Yet I couldn't find, couldn't find my heart's desire I tied Dragon's reigns to the Tree of the Worlds I heard the Thunder God warning me Telling me it's not easy to find one's heart's desire The Rain, The Thunder opened Heaven’s gate And some Entity eyed me churlishly Oh, all the worlds and times were really angry with me That's what it's like When you don't find your heart's desire All the roads disappeared My Dragon died of thirst Clouds and Rainbows vanished I spent no minute at no place I heard the Thunder God laughing at me And Veles took away my magic In the dark In the wait I saw My heart's desire All the roads disappeared. My Dragon died of thirst. Clouds and Rainbows vanished. I spent no minute at no place. I heard the Thunder God Laughing at me. And Veles took away my magic. So I couldn't order the swift-moving Sun to dip in the west. I stayed in no minute at no place and I didn't stay for too long. All The roads disappeared. My Dragon died of thirst. I spent no minute at no place. Clouds And Rainbows vanished. I heard the Thunder God laughing at me. And Veles took away my magic

Stories made of mirage Places made of mirage People made of mirage Lives made of mirage Yours and mine And the cheating goddess Sitting here with me Sitting here with you In a boundless sea She is cheating me With my own Miserable thoughts And you with your own Miserable thoughts Cheating my own self Your own self Her own self It's all a lie In these lies In her lies I saw hundreds of her eyes Eyes in the skies Skies full of eyes And in her cheating You, too You shall see Her eyes Hundreds of lies In the skies But it all brought Wakeful moments And then I sensed The ebb and flow Oh, morning star, so luminous Set me free of the shell Oh, morning star Set me free of my shell Oh, morning star Set me free of my shell Oh, morning star Set me free of my shell

about

Narrenwind's third album gives an account of Volkhv's journey through the worlds and the times. The journey which commenced with a plaintive melody and soft beating of the drum.

Suddenly, the singing and the beating all grew stronger and in the song Volkhv heard all the sounds he had ever heard before − and more of them. And he saw all the things he had ever seen before − and more of them. And he also saw his Guardian Spirit, in the shape of a Dragon, appearing to come.

All these things he saw and he heard simultaneously over his head, behind him, at his feet, in front of him. And then it all ceased. And then he was lying, neither exhausted, nor relaxed, trying to utter the concluding spells. And here are the spells...
