Three Ways
(music & lyrics by CHUR, liner notes and editing by AR)

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 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 pleasant to go this way, but it leads to nothingness.

Beyond the high mountains and wide seas
The White Oak stands.
There is, so high, in the blue sky,
The Falcon’s nest.

He’s sitting and waiting, not sleeping
For two thousand years.
He’s looking for his little children
When they will appear

Beyond the green valleys and dark woods
The Great Stone lies
It lies at the crossroads
Of four sides

The first one for coming and others
For choosing to go
So where will be Mara and
Where will be Fathers and Gods?

CHORUS:
Short, hard and thorny the
Way of the Warriors.
Narrow and rocky the
Way of the Saints.
But so broad and so easy the
Way to Oblivion
For those who rejected
The Ways of the Gods
