about

FREE DOWNLOAD: set price as $0 (or more - I'm a hard-working father-of-three and I'm taking my free time from my family after my jobs for making this music. That's a lot of work, and often I want just to rest instead of doing another work after paid work. But when I see people need my music, I keep making it. So your support doesn't make me rich, but it's a strong motivation for me).
ATTENTION! Free downloads limit is 200 per month - after that Bandcamp will auto-set random price until next month.

lyrics

Три шляхи (Three Ways)

(music & lyrics by Chur)

Over the profound seas the World Tree stands. Falcon-Kin sits on its top. Falcon-Kin has been waiting for His children’s return to Him for two thousand years. There is a stone beyond high mountains. A small path leads to it, then this path forks in three ways. They lead to the World Tree. The first path is hard, it passes through wind-fallen trees, ravines and mountains. It is the path of a hardship and victories. It is the path of warriors. The second path is narrow and stony, it passes through gorges and precipices. One could not surmount it without equilibrium and equanimity. It is the path of wise men. The third path is wide and facile. But ones, who are eager to go this way, need to forget their ancestors. It is pleasantly to go this way, but it leads into nothingness.

Ген там за морями глибокими
Явір стоїть.
На його вершечку високому
Сокіл сидить.
Сидить, не літає, чекає
Дві тисячі літ.
Мовчить, виглядає, де є
Його діти малі.
Ген там за горами високими
Камінь лежить.
Від нього на чотири боки
Стежка біжить.
По одній приходять, а далі –
По одній із трьох.
На котрій є Мара, на котрій
Чека на нас Бог?
Важка, терниста
Дорога воїнів.
Вузька, кам’яниста
Стежка святих.
А широка і чиста –
Шлях у безвістя,
Тих, хто відрікся
Мертвих своїх.
