Dan veličasten, nad gorami modrina,
visoko na nebu orel se pne.
Spokojno počiva pod njim vsa širjava,
mogočni gozdovi klanjajo se.
Ostro oko nad kraljestvom opreza,
nad jaso pa nekaj mir mu skali;
jezdec v diru po poti se spušča,
ranjen iz boja proti domu hiti.
V bitki obležali so bratje njegovi,
le on se je rešil, da dom posvari.
V noči premagal je širne gozdove,
opešan v močeh tam ob stezi leži.
"Daj, ponesi ta klic do mojih ljudi!
Reši naš rod!" še ptici veli.
Žarki prodrejo skozi vejevje,
orel se vrne zopet nad kraj.
Deklica majhna tam zvončke nabira,
na mestu nesrečnem zdaj spet je raj.

The Herald
Magnificent day, blue sky above mountains,
somewhere in distance the eagle soars high.
Peacefully resting below him the vastness,
the mighty wide forests bowing in pride.
Sharp eagle's eyes always kept on the kingdom,
though all of a sudden his peace is disturbed;
A rider is storming down a path in hurry,
wounded from battle he finally returns.
In battle defeated were all of his brothers,
his is the duty to warn those at home,
through darkest of nights he's conquered vast forests,
now weakened in strength he lies on the dirt.
''Go, and carry this call, to all of my folk!
Please save our kin!'' he says to the bird.
...
Sunrays are breaking through the mighty branches,
eagle is soaring above them again.
A small girl is playing on meadows of snowdrops,
this once cursed place now is heaven again.
It took a long time for me to discover they had released a new album, but I was so glad to see they are still active and producing strong and impressive music! ·-·· ·· ·· ··-·/··· - ·- ·-· ··· - --- ·-· --/-·- ··· -·-·
Having very fond memories of the original album, I was amazed at the fresh breeze they gave their songs with this re-release. Fantastic! ·-·· ·· ·· ··-·/··· - ·- ·-· ··· - --- ·-· --/-·- ··· -·-·
