1. Hymn of Ukraine
Original:
Shche ne vmerla Ukrayina, ni slava, ni volya,
Shche nam, brattya-ukrayintsi, usmikhnet'sya dolya.
Zginut' nashi vorizhen'ki, yak rosa na sontsi,
Zazhivemo i mi, brattya, u svoyiy storontsi.
Dushu y tilo mi polozhim za nashu svobodu
I pokazhem, shcho mi, brattya, kozats'kogo rodu.
(repeat previous two lines)
English:
Ukraine is not yet dead, nor its glory and freedom,
Luck will still smile on us brother-Ukrainians.
Our enemies will die, as the dew does in the sunshine,
and we, too, brothers, we'll live happily in our land.
We'll not spare either our souls or bodies to get freedom
and we'll prove that we brothers are of Kozak kin.
2. On the Moonlight Path
Go away day, give everything to the queen of the night
laying in the cold land and waiting for the full-moon (to come).
I see the leaving of life as a sweet dream.
My way is stretching into the abyss of eternity.
I don't try to hold for this life, it's damned by me,
and the spirit of Carpathians call my black soul to the moonlight path.
The dawn - the dusk.
The cycle is over for me.
The sun is twisted by the soars and it's painful for me to look at it.
Oh! My sweet queen of the night you gave me
the sense of life you gave me eternal pleasure.
I acquired the true vampiric art.
I'm on the moonlight path.
Hey stars! Greet me!
Do you hear me... the moon!
The tombstones are singing to me
and the throne of the damned belongs to death.
I celebrate the great joy together with the wolves.
I dance inside the circle of snakes and marsh of reptiles.
I'm indifferent to everything because I choose my path.
Blood! I swallow it.
It spreads inside of me like bitterness
and indifference in the world of true lies.
I was runed and humilated in a world where I've been insunderstood.
Through my teeth I talk about revenge.
The world will remember my name.
The moonlight path that takes my soul.
I'll take these useless souls one by one.
Your temples will burn like candles,
the children and your women will moan with pain.
Your houses will hide in blood by which I'll wash my face
playing with the moonrays on my path; on my moonlight path.
I scorn you sheep.
I scorn your flock.
To be your shepherd is my fate.
Bringing your souls for the sacrifice to my God.
I'll feed the wolves by your mortal bodies.
Death and chaos - all will be here,
and nobody else will see the day and the sun (again).
Therefore, I'm on the moonlight path.
Oh! World! I'll dance on your grave.

4. Family Vault (Death SS Cover)
On the point of death the patriarch said:
"Don't bury me in a common grave,
But in an unusual, comfortable family vault".
You must build my tomb according to my wishes
To prevent that my mortal remains
Should return from Hell, to spread the disease I had when I lived.
Money and success, you were my only reason of life.
Candles, tombstones, will be my company in this family vault.
Listen to me said the patriarch
I can see next to me the reaper
My time is almost through, you must promise me to respect my will.
The heritage I leave to all you still living
Goes beyond all my material wealth
You'll discover it and then understand in my burial place.
Money and success, you were my only reason of life.
Candles, tombstones, will be my company in this family vault.
You must build my tomb with your guilty deeds
Every brick can bind one of your sins
And cement the blood of my cursed youth that won't come back.
The deeds of all men survive eternal rest
And I hope that my building will help
People that will come in this evil life, to understand.
Money and success, you were my only reason of life.
Candles, tombstones, will be my company in this family vault
