When the old tales of a She-Wolf seem like nothing but a bedtime story, and laughter is the only response to stories of fangs and claws, fate can play a trick... The moment a river's current snatches her wreath on Kupala Night becomes the beginning of a new path. The path of the She-Wolf, the Grey Lady from the Barrows. From this moment on, she will live on the border of two worlds, which she loves above all else. The world of humans and the world of ancestors. Henceforth, her howl brings terror to her enemies, and her sword defends her people. 📖 Lyrics, Arrangement, Editing & Production: TALES FROM THE ANCIENT WORLDS 📜 "The old women whispered, by the evening fire, about the Wolf Lady, who between the worlds stood guard over their Slavic land- I did not believe... The young spun tales, to feel a thrill in the night, about a grey lady, whose deadly fangs she drove with force into the napes of our foes- I dismissed it with a smile... But when my wreath, far away, was carried off by the river, amidst the living fires of Kupala Night, my mother and grandmother led me into the deep woods- And I understood... My grandmother, keening softly in voices unknown to me, drew signs with her fingers of dew and ashes, taken on Navi Night from the ancient barrows. I felt a chill that pierced my bones, and then a fire, a gift from her blood, from the love for our land and the memory of ancestors! Two worlds I knew, two worlds I loved... To stand guard over both, I promised this day... I AM THE SHE-WOLF!! Lady from the Barrows! Borne by the whispers of spirits across the fields! I AM THE SHE-WOLF!! Daughter of Veles! To whom this land is dearer than life! My howl brings terror to my foes! With fang and claw, my face is fierce! When dread befalls you, my beloved people, Thrice call upon your Grey Lady! Thrice call upon your Grey Lady!!! I howl to the stars as my sisters howled, I run the paths as they once ran. I do not ask the gods to lift this burden, I do not beg my father for a moment of peace. I only ask that they give me strength, so I may guard against all harm... I AM THE SHE-WOLF!! Lady from the Barrows!
