The Stone Sentinel-Skyforger

The Stone Sentinel - Skyforger Beneath grey skies Where the ravens croak and circle Between the crooked swamp birches Lies ancient burial ground The sun never shines there Every day fine rain drizzles Only a few among the living know How to find the path there Across the morass dank mist drifts Through grass and wet soil Kurbads is wading Everything there seems dreadful and gloomy Woeful moans resound in the mist Red eyes flash in the dusk Ghostly figures twist and sway Like an isle in the sea Covered with green moss There in the middle of the swamp Sleeps a giant… Menacing and grim in the bog stands the Stone Sentinel And there's nowhere further to go Menacing and grim in the bog stands the Stone Sentinel It keeps gates to the Underworld closed If you can lift and roll it aside A black passage will be seen Only those who are fearless enough Dare to descend down below - "What's up, Kurbads, has your heart sunk into your boots yet?" - "To hell with it, I am climbing down!" Be warned, devils Kurbads is coming Soon, heads will roll As the Devilslayer starts to work
