The Alkonost

Whispers on a winters eve

of creatures from afar

relaid by human tongue,

a tale, now told beneath the stars.

Tales of pureness in true form,

when all was lost it seemed

A creature with the essence

to erase all memories.

Once a million voices called -

Now the Alkonost has flown

With the spread of her wings, memories are gone, a new era begins

Once a million prayers were scorned, then silenced by the spread of her wings, the Alkonost,

The Alkonost has flown.

The Alkonost has flown

Now it begins, this new essence of daylight

Consumed all the pain

Under the waves we see

lightning and chaos

Our memories will never be the same

We believed the gods

would rule our world,

We fought and we died by their hands

Now we see that darkness won't prevail

Under her wings... we make our stand

When men and God are drawn as one, then power heralds doom

She will break the cycles of war,

for a brighter day now blooms

The tales of faith, that once held true

are now elements no more

Now three sisters gather all as one

and now shreek their tuneful caw

The seas are on fire a new era begins

This cognitive disdain

Peace will not last here,

for even one hour,

For the gods will reign

We believed the lady winged and true

The sisters now rise up above

We now stand, phalaxed awaiting death

Yet silence, it falls once again.

The oceans calm,

the song they sing still rings

The onslaught of gods now resides

Dazed yet free,

the gods have fallen quiet

Yet the essence of doubt, still inside

No longer dormant, awakened from sleep

We waited for night time to usher in

A flap of her wings, and memories are gone once again

All doubts are dispersed like the silhouette of mornings rain

Of mornings rain

Here all doubts are dispersed like the silhouette of mornings rain

Of mornings rain

Dispersed from winter's curse

Let your mind be free to a new re-birth

Now the sisters rise above,

and breed new life.

The Alkonost fells winters frost,

all memories fleet within

these lands of snow
