A powerful rendition of a classic Belarus folksong that is more genuine that most neo-folk music.A perfect balance between ancient and modern sensiblities.

Sol Abyssorum's sound is one of the most hauntingly beautiful dark paganistic forms since Dead Can Dance. I really look forward to the upcoming album!

lyrics
Pan nas mučyŭ, pan nas plećciami ściabaŭ,
Duža rana na rabotu vyhaniaŭ,
Vyjdu, vyjdu ja da rečańki krutoj,
Kliknu, kliknu šerych vaŭkoŭ za saboj:
- Sabiarycieś, šery voŭki, dy z bara,
Vy biažycie dy da panskaha dvara,
Zabiažycie vy da panskaha dvara,
Jak uzojdzie u niebie jasnaja zara,
Vy zapiejcie pieśniu strašnaje taski,
Razarvicie cieła pana na kuski,
Razarvicie, zakapajcie za siałom,
Kab ab panu ŭspaminaŭ nie było.
Na tym miescy, dzie zakopany byŭ pan,
Raści budzie pałyn horki j burjan.

Пан нас мучыў, пан нас плеццямі сцябаў,
Дужа рана на работу выганяў,
Выйду, выйду я да рэчанькі крутой,
Клікну, клікну шэрых ваўкоў за сабой:
- Сабярыцесь, шэры воўкі, ды з бара,
Вы бяжыце ды да панскага двара,
Забяжыце вы да панскага двара,
Як узойдзе у небе ясная зара,
Вы запейце песню страшнае таскі,
Разарвіце цела пана на кускі,
Разарвіце, закапайце за сялом,
Каб аб пану ўспамінаў не было.
На тым месцы, дзе закопаны быў пан,
Расці будзе палын горкі і бур'ян.
