BY THE SACRED STONE


GÖÇ

[Narrator:]
In the lands of Central Asia
We had lived in prosperity
Till one day
When the Khan was
Tricked by the enemy

He gave the sacred stone
For the return of a Chinese queen
Unity of the land was broken

Then it all happened
Every creature in the land started to sound
An elegy in unison they cried

Begged to Sky-God for a way out
Then suddenly a mighty wolf
Came out of nowhere
Showed us the way

Göç ! Göç ! Göç !
Cried all the land
It was our destiny
Since the creation

[chorus:]
In the dark before the dawn
Together we walked
Leaving our land
Leaving our life behind
Following the mighty wolf
Following the signs
We kept marching on
By day and by night

[A Clan Leader:]
Kökten, Gök Tanrı’dan
Kutsanmış bu toprak
Lanet var ancak
Kurtuluş intikam

[Shaman (Kam):] [A Clan Leader:]
İntikam artık... Ölüm bizi...
...Çözüm değil ...Çağırıyor

[The Great Khan:]
Ben tanrı gibi, tanrıdan olan
Ölümün kendisi, önümde diz çök !

[English translation:]
[A Clan Leader:]
This land is blessed
by the root, by the Sky-God
There is the blight
But revenge is the way out

[Shaman (Kam):] [A Clan Leader:]
Revenge is not... Death is...
...the solution anymore ...calling us

[The Great Khan:]
I, as god, of god
Death himself, kneel before me !

[chorus:]
In the dark before the dawn
Together we walked
Leaving our land
Leaving our life behind
Following the mighty wolf
Following the signs
We kept marching on
By day and by night

[Narrator:]
Yüce Kağan der ki :
Kader önümüzdeki düzlüklerde
Batıdan gelen uğultuların
Umut veren sesleriyle
Unutulmayan bir çığlık yükseldi
Rüzgarın şarkıları bir tek söz söyledi
Göç ! (x7)

[English translation:][Narrator:]
The Great Khan says :
Destiny lies on the plains before us
With the sounds of the howls
coming from the west bringing hope
An unforgettable scream arose
The songs of the wind sang only one word
Drift ! (x7)

PS: The lyrics of this song are about the Uyghur's Saga of Migration (Göç Destanı) which is related to ancient Turkic folklore.


STORM AVENGER

Through the misty forests I walk
As the mighty trees grow old
Tales don't contain my name
Now everyone fears my fame
Lost my mercy such a shame
Storm avenger they call my name

Nature flows through my eyes
Pagan blood fortifies
A constant thought in my mind
See through hate but eyes are blind
This fate I have been bound
No other life can be found

CHORUS:
Storm Avenger breaches and takes out
Years went by since this fiend was trapped
No man can set it free.

Stars glint overhead
To unknown dimensions I fall
Drifting far, far away
And down

On an isolated rock there sits a grief-stricken man
With his head bowed down to his knees
Alone he curses his pride

CHORUS:
Storm Avenger breaches and takes out
Destroys everything on his way
Years went by since this fiend was trapped
No man can set it free.

In the white light of the moon,
See me descend to emptiness
I count the years that I've wandered
A distant path now leads to blood

CHORUS:
Storm Avenger breaches and takes out
Years went by since this fiend was trapped
No man can set it free.


SONS OF THE EARTH AND SKY

Not many trees lay shadows to this land
We are the roots that lurk this wasteland
Since many generations
We have lived our pagan lives

Under the sacred tree which is
So old and so mighty
Witness it all,
As mother earth and father sky
Give birth to a new day

Unless the sky above cracks
Ground below shakes
Who can spoil and shatter our faith
To our beloved land

Our lives bloom in this tree
We are born from stars and fire
Winds whisper to our soul
Earth and roots binds us all

See the signs of this great power
Thunder rumbles across the sky
Now our spirits are one with the land
No other light shall ever shine

Not many trees lay shadows to this land
We are the roots that lurk this wasteland
Since many generations
We have lived our pagan lives
