Calliophis: -------- Lyrics: ...and she walks beside me A simple peasant that I am Drunk in this wasteland The blizzard howls in the cold dark night She embraces me tenderly She dances with me The goddess of death is with me In the icy arms of winter She sings a song for me... “Just take a rest, my dearest one, lay down, tormented as you are of sorrow, anguish and distress! A warming blanket of snow I will spread over you, with a splendid tapestry of flakes. Shake a cotton-soft duvet swiftly from your feathers, you swan-like storm witch! Come on, what are you waiting for? Sing us a fairy-tale song, a long, night-filling song that will make the drunken peasant sink into a peaceful sleep! Hurry up, you forests and you winter winds, you dark clouds and you flying flakes! Weave him a shroud of fluffy feathers, with which I, like a child, will cover the old man! Fall asleep, my friend, you happy peasant … The summer sun is already blazing again over the sparkling meadows, the sickles rustle through the field, and as this song resounds, a dove is rising to the skies.“ *Quote by Modest Mussorgski and Arseni Golenischtschew-Kutusow Lyrics based on “Trepak” (1875) by Modest Mussorgski and Arseni Golenischtschew-Kutusow
