Rāmava by skyforger published on 2015-03-31T18:53:26Z Second song from new Skyforger album "Senprūsija" / "Old Prussia". Out 6th April, 2015 on Thunderforge Records. Pre-order album at our website: http://goo.gl/1msddJ Old German chronicles tells legend about the central pagan sacred place for all Baltic people, which was situated in Prussia at Romuve or Rickoyot. There stood a huge oak and besides that (or in his trunk) were seen idols of three main gods: Perkuns, Peckols (or Patollo) and Potrimpus. In this sanctuary also lived priests and priestesses (vaidelots) and the high priest Krive Krivaito himself. All most important pagan ceremonies and sacrifices were held there. More about it you will find in CD booklet. In this song you can hear little bit of Prussian language as we used some Prussian/Lithuanian old folk song (thanks to Jonas Trinkūnas and Kūlgrinda) as main theme. ROMUVE The great thundergod Perkuns Our great god With your power, with your might Unite us, strengthen us! The first one is Perkuns, Thunderer of the Sky Then there is Potrimpus, the one who gives blessings to the earth The third one is old Peckols, the ruler of the Underworld Into his realm the deceased find their way The power of the Oak, the might of the Oak Unite us, strengthen us! Daily the everlasting fire are kept burning there by the priests And priestesses come there in midsummer to make crowns from the oak leafs And the one, who can talk with the gods and knows their will The Krive Krivaito himself lives in that sacred grove of Romuve From ancient times the century old oak grows there Three idols of gods sit by that oak, mute and noble One has a burning crown Another is a strong young lad The third has a long beard And a shroud covers his head The great thundergod Perkuns Our great god The first one is Perkuns, Thunderer of the Sky Then there is Potrimpus, the one who gives blessings to the earth The third one is old Peckols, the ruler of the Underworld Into his realm the deceased find their way...
