Аркаим [Arkaim] [English translation]

Oh you Steppe, Yes oh, You Steppe

Oh you wide Steppe

Spread out far and wide

Grass like Steles in a century of Grey

by the holy hills

in this ancient grove

the Arkaim ! (#1)

an echo of the living voice through centuries of sand

at midnight we hear in the thickets of the wilderness

here wander shadows of an era gone by

what is lurking in the ruins of the shrine ?

the faded eyes of a greyhaired shaman

behold at the foot of the distant hills

the hand, ministering the ancient traditions

fire smoke concealed in the hall of dreams

Here, the era of the universe driven by the wind

Stir the sandy hands of the mystery of Arkaim

Bound in the Tower of the Roda Circle

an irritating glare

lights up the firmament

Arkaim, you hailstorm of our grandparents' legacies

through the smoke of thousand years of darkness

light your blaze, send your fire to the sky

rouse yourself, in order to be reborn

Dawn is breaking among the uncut grass

I will lay down my trail in the sacred hills

they will merge with the tracks of times past

Arkaim...

you will be with me now in the fading light

like stardust blinded by the dawn

we will be far away, in dazzling dreams

forever we will part, to far distant worlds

Come Alive,

oh Arkaim !

Truth is Alive
