The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

A band from Belgium reminding me of Empyrium:









Years of silence without any hope

For life has seemed to forget me

No wasted tears, only grief for the past

Though I long for fortune to come



Falling down

Falling away from the underground

Fade away

Searching for something to hide astray



Kneeling down

Into denial for what’s to come

Or what has been before



Take me back home

Bring me to where all ends

I`m glad to say that the guy who composed and sings and plays guitar, Bogdan Luparu, is a my friend from University. We spent 2 years in the same room and I remember how wonderful he played viking black metal but also Bach in the dim light during the evenings at a glass of good wine! They worked with Dan Swano and this is wonderful:

BUCOVINA - Spune-mi tu vant (Tell Me, Ye Wind)











Tell Me, Ye Wind

Tell me, ye frozen wind, where you have been, wherever you've dinned

In yon naked groves, on bens and in coves icy flows beneath raging floes

Might you have seen wherever you've been deep-reaching scars carved into crags

On crests clad in winters reflected in waters, untrodden trails to faraway gales



As you fly fast like thought, round the earth taut

Passing high seas, wastelands and leas

Find it, it wilts, my yearning in weeds, it nests in my soul, I won't find my pall

Tell me, ye frozen wind, where you have been, wherever you've dinned

In yon naked groves, on bens and in coves icy flows beneath raging floes



Relentlessly stride, seek far and wide, by night and by day, here and away

In the sun and the moon, in the bad and the good, never repose, nor ever pause

Tell me, ye frozen wind, where you have been, wherever you've dinned

If you find it that wilts, my yearning in weeds, it'll nest in my soul, I won't find my pall.







In Romanian:



Spune tu, vânt înghețat, pe unde ai fost, pe unde-ai umblat

Prin codrii goi, pe munți și pe văi, pâraie-nghețate sub sloiuri turbate



Dacă-ai vazut pe unde-ai trecut, urme adânci, săpate în stânci

Pe creste iernite în ape-oglindite, poteci neumblate să ducă departe.



Cum zbori tu ca gândul și-nconjuri pământul, şi treci peste mări, pustiuri și zări

Nu-mi afli pierit, dorul cernit, cu dorul în gând nu-mi aflu mormânt.



Spune tu, vânt înghețat, pe unde ai fost, pe unde-ai umblat

Prin codrii goi, pe munți și pe văi, pâraie-nghețate sub sloiuri turbate.



Să cați necurmat în lung și în lat, din zori până-n noapte, aici și departe

În soare și-n stele, în bune și rele, să nu te-odihnești, să nu zăbovești.



Spune tu, vânt înghețat, pe unde ai fost, pe unde-ai umblat

De mi-ai găsit dorul cernit, cu el în gand nu-mi aflu mormânt.
