lyrics

Watch
Me dip my staff into the Nile
And its waters turn the blood,
That stinks and cannot slake your thirst.

Then
If you do not let them go yet
Your country will wallow in toads -
With frogs teem your house and your bed.

Pharaoh, you were warned,
But my words you have scorned.
Still you may change your mind
And set loose the people of mine!

Look,
My hand with the staff stretches out
And whirls up the dust of the ground,
And every its grain becomes louse.

You
Just let them go, and if you don’t,
I will inflict flies that will swarm
Around each barn and each home.

Pharaoh, you’re a fool -
Don’t see yet who does rule,
Don’t believe in my might,
But still you can change your mind!

When
Your livestock is killed by the plague,
I will toss black soot into air,
And boils will cover your face.

I
Can wipe you away from the earth,
But I’ll send the worst hail and storm -
I have pity to give a chance
Once more.

Pharaoh, you and your people were sacrificed
And betrayed
By one who hardened your heart to prove his own might.
All in vain!

Clouds
Of locusts consume what is left,
And darkness you can touch with hand
For three days devours your land.

And
At last in the silence of night
Through your sleeping country I’ll stride,
And each of your firstborns will die!

We are black metal project with female vocals from a godforsaken place called Udmurtia (the city of Izhevsk), almost lost in the wild Russian woods. This leaves us no choice but to create such a creepy music impregnated with forests twilight and swamp damp. In our songs we're trying to grasp the mankind's nature and fate, why human's actions are sometimes so unbearable.. ... more
