Testo di The Dnieper Rapids

A terrible noise heard from far away Drowning all other sounds No cry of the birds nor voice of men Just an awful groan Silence fell over the men As the river seemed to end Then... Clouds of spray, Pechenegs prey The Insatiable One is hungry today Avoid the rocks for all you're worth Whirlpools gaze from the depths of earth Like dominoes six locks will fall One after another The World Serpent will rise from the silt And poison the sky Clouds of spray, Pechenegs pray The Insatiable One is hungry today The violent current swept Karl away One mistake- with your life you pay Silence fell over the men As the river seemed to... A sight they had dreamed of Now opened in front of them Fraught with danger and travail The river came to an end
