lyrics
Vzplanuli k nebesiam hranice
Dym víri lupene Pražskej jari
V mraze východnej víchrice
Výkriky umlčali
V súmraku slobody
Od Tibetu ku brehom Vltavy
Keď tvoria sa dejiny, pre výkrik jediný
Zbytočné bolo by lkať
A svet za humnom sa díval na nás
Schátralý ideál
Na plytkom hrobe
Spomienok otrok
A ty žiť chceš v tej dobe
Niet raja vo viere v slobodné životy
Popol a slzy prikryli hraničný kameň
S ostnatým drôtom do srdca zaťatým
Pre hrsť jej martýrov, naveky amen
A svet za humnom sa díval na nás
Vzplanuli k nebesiam hranice
Dym víri lupene Pražskej jari
V mraze východnej víchrice
Výkriky umlčali
V súmraku slobody
Od Tibetu ku brehom Vltavy
Keď tvoria sa dejiny, pre výkrik jediný
Zbytočné bolo by lkať
Schátralý ideál
Na plytkom hrobe
Spomienok otrok
A ty žiť chceš v tej dobe
---ENG---
The pyres have flared up to the heavens
Smoke swirls the petals of the Prague Spring
In the frost of the eastern gale
The shouts were silenced
In the twilight of freedom
From Tibet to the banks of Vltava
When history is being made
For a single cry
It would be pointless to weep
And the world watched us from beyond the hills
A decayed ideal
On a shallow grave
A slave to the memories
You want to live in such times?
There is no paradise in the belief in freedom
Ash and tears covered the border stone
With barbed wire struck into their hearts
For all of those martyrs, forever amen
And the world watched us from beyond the hills
The pyres have flared up to the heavens
Smoke swirls the petals of the Prague Spring
In the frost of the eastern gale
The shouts were silenced
In the twilight of freedom
From Tibet to the banks of Vltava
When history is being made
For a single cry
It would be pointless to weep

Everything comes together extremely well in this album. Probably my all time favorite black metal album now. The mix of atmospheric almost shoegaze playing leads extremely well into the intensity black metal normally has. The saxophone they use on almost all the songs really puts it above others in the genre for me.

From Tiohtià:Ke, with utmost support and love for the Mohawk people and all Siberian First Nations descendants! Blackbraid is easily the best Black Metal project right now, heavily underrated. Carrying a fragment of my Native Siberian ancestry, every song comes with a different story about nature and its splendor! Hah-kwa 🧡
