about

A composition with a jumping rhythm, full of energy and all this despite the fact that the lyrics are about human sacrifices in the Dacian world (the only one in ancient Europe that practiced this kind of sacrificial cult in antiquity, which took place every 5 years). The lyrics sing about the chosen one, the most pure and most courageous among the young Dacians, who threw themselves into spears in the altars of temples hidden in the Carpathian Mountains, and who went to the worshiped Gods (respectively to Zamolxes, the supreme God) caring the holy message of their people! The Dacians' creed was to rejoice, to cheer and to celebrate when their sacrificing messenger was welcomed among the Gods themselves. Through such a brutal and cruel Pagan ritual, the song evokes a mystic atmosphere that wants to take us back in time to become a significant part of this sordid sacrifice, a moment for each of us to feel the transfiguring passage into the world beyond, joining the old forgotten Gods!

* Previously unreleased composition.

lyrics

(Mesagerul către Ceruri și Sub-Pământuri)

În mesagerul către Zei am pus nădejdea,
Prin voința proprie, jertfa se va duce,
Legea pământului el va îndeplini,
Pentru neamul său, poporul nemuritor!

Zamolxes, a lui voință, sângele să curgă
Teribil sacrificiu uman, odată la cinci ani
Pe altar din vârf de munte, trecut prin sulițe
E cel mai viteaz, cu trup tânăr și pur!

Susurul izvoarelor, murmurul pădurilor,
Tremurul pământului, trăsnetele norilor,
Zeii au primit jertfa, haideți să dansăm
Să ne veselim și să ne cinstim,
Mesagerul nostru la zei a ajuns,
Să bem și să mâncăm și pe ales să-l cântăm
Să bem și să mâncăm și datina s-o urmăm,
Și să strigăm către Zei...
Lei, la ei, la lei la lei!!!

Dacii se avântau în luptă, cu "glas aspru, chip sălbatic",
Ei în luptă arătau, "spirit curat și războinic"
Viața, ei și-o dăruiau, niciodată nu mureau
La Zamolxes se duceau, către Zei călătoreau!
