Ostara 02:10
OSTARA! Total darkness all around The campfire burns upon the ground Brothers sitting side by side Telling stories in the night Songs are sung, our voices loud The gods are watching, pleased and proud Our smiling faces 'neath the stars Giving thanks, on Ostara OSTARA!

Rozhanitsy 06:15
Olden forest covers me Asked it for my destiny Read my answer in the leaves Words I saw could not believe Told I could not leave Frozen river covers me Icy water hard to breathe Tried to surface, run from fate River kept me in its hate Reached but was too late Blazing fire covers me Burning all the eye can see Taking from us life and hope All now left is dust and smoke All was left now broke Olden forest covers me Asked it for my destiny Read my answer in the leaves Words I saw could not believe Told I could not leave It was precisely at midnight, at the deadest hour, hidden from moonlight. That three women of fate came from the forest and they spoke together the child's destiny. The forests burned, and the seas rose and roared, yet the gods simply watched on as the world was broken before them. For the words these women of fate spoke, were by that child fulfilled.

I saw your garland on the lake I dared not swim and seal my fate I waited still upon the shore You watched me take as eve is brought Hold my hand dear across the fire tall Gods are watching if our grip will fall In forest gathered the fern I hold in sight Our dreams of love now blossoming Upon Kupala Night

The gods they told me (To whittle away, to whittle away) To carve their idols (The forest to place, the forest to place) They sent a storm down (I toiled away, I toiled away) The wind around me (I stood in place, I stood in place)

(Hávamál Stanza 1) The man who stands at a strange threshold, Should be cautious before he cross it, Glance this way and that: Who knows beforehand what foes may sit Awaiting him in the hall?

Perun 03:50
Oh from the sky and from the earth We hear your ancient song Perun Oh thunder from the mighty oak Oh thunder from the mighty oak And as we look to sky above Upon great branch you stand Perun The thunder from the mighty oak The thunder from the mighty oak Perun

Svarog 04:00
Break oh the circle Offer to the flame Give to gods your wishes Speak loud your name Bleed now into cauldron Show to us no pain Let it spill three seconds To metal upon flame SVAROG Forged in the fires Weapons brought to hand To protect our new homeland Stretched across the land Flames growing bigger Blaze burning tall Growing ever stronger With every waking call SVAROG Break oh the circle Offer to the flame Give to gods your wishes Speak loud your name SVAROG!

The Wanderer 05:58
I saw a man he stood alone Wandering where none would go And he spoke to me Do you see? I saw a beggar late at night His constant struggle recondite And he called to me Please help me I saw a king upon a throne Sat upon the people's bones And he told me You're nothing I saw the stars up in the sky A brilliant map spread way up high And it showed me Where I'd be The eagles come a hunting In the dead of the night They come searching for the child who holds All but the light In vengeful flight I saw a god amongst the trees Hiding from mortality And he granted me To believe I saw a ship upon the seas A final peace it guaranteed As it covered me To become free I saw myself in mirror true I saw a man no more to lose And he told me I now see

She was the pale white lunar sphere Beacon of hope on a night so clear He was the wolf with bloodstained teeth Blessed by she, to the hunt goes he She was the midnight candle glow Light for the beasts below to roam He was the hawk, lord of the trees Blessed by she, thus roams he free She was the arcane nocturne sun In darkness shines the ancient one He was the wind, the crashing storm Of shattered homes and souls forlorn She was the poet’s widow’s tear The all-knowing omniscient seer He was the grand celestial sky Together they watch the night go by

Northern Sky 04:08
A shadow creeping across the land I hold my shield and hammer high Foes at our shore but here we stand As gods now watch from northern sky Steel yourselves, our time draws near I hold my shield and hammer high No pain, no wounds nor death we fear As gods now watch from northern sky By the axe and the bow, the sword and spear I hold my shield and hammer high I wield the strength of mighty Mjolnir As gods now watch from northern sky Hail Freya, Odinn and Tyr I hold my shield and hammer high Spirits of the land in flesh appear As gods now watch from northern sky

Veles 06:26
Earth and water mud and stream Ancient totems lay unseen Slither out of skin and breathe From the fire burning thee Took from thunder treasured wife Took from him A life now forfeit by the light Took from us Your life Smoke and flame to sky released Tranquil forest took by beast Heaven sent he strikes at thee From your scales you find relief Took from thunder treasured son Challenge has Begun the clouds will cover sun Cycle has Begun Earthly Veles we call to your name Tending our fields and healing the lame Mighty Veles we witness your fate Falling to thunder, fire and blade Fallen Veles we give you our hand Salted by sea and dusted by land Risen Veles we call you again Veles is kind, Veles is great
