BEZKRESY - Krew na śniegu (Grudzień '81) (Official Music Video) [Atmospheric/ Post Black Metal)

Details

Description

'Krew na śniegu' ('Blood on Snow') is a tribute to the victims of Martial Law in Poland (13 December 1981 - 22 July 1983) and a bitter comment to the aftermath of those events.

"On December 13, 1981 the Military Council of National Salvation, which is headed by General Wojciech Jaruzelski, imposed martial law in Poland. On this day, the hopes of millions of Poles were crushed, while the chance of introducing democratic changes was lost for many years. For thousands of people and their families, martial law brought great suffering – isolation in internment camps, imprisonment, loss of employment, and numerous other repressions; what is more, tens of innocent citizens lost their lives. History creates our identity. In the modern history of our country there was no other event that affected contemporary reality as forcefully as Martial Law. The experience of the illicit actions of the communist regime and the extremely widespread opposition to the dictatorship is still fresh in people’s minds." - The Institute of National Remembrance (https://martiallaw.pl/)

Lyrics (in English):
Krew na śniegu (Blood on Snow)

The soil is freezing again
The coal is stabbing, piercing with its tip
It’s shattering the heart
I’m looking at myself in the shards
At millions of forms of myself

We went to sleep
For eternal rest
It’s time we went
We went to sleep
For eternal rest
It’s time we went
It’s high time
He left behind
Blood on snow

The snow is melting
The ice on eyes is crumbling
A thaw after half a century
Champagne is flowing
The old world tumbled down like a wall
I as well, but I look ahead
I don’t look behind (white with fear)
In a sitting room from a wardrobe stench of carrion
With ice the old blood
It flows down the people every day
It flows down the pavements
I ride the main stream

And he is not amongst the judged!
Our blood doesn’t curdle
He will not be amongst the defendants!
The house gets covered in snow

We went to sleep
For eternal rest
It’s time we went
We went to sleep
For eternal rest
It’s high time
He left behind
Blood on snow

And I’ll go to sleep
For eternal rest
Without punishment
It’s time I went
Foul crimes
Peaceful old age
It’s time for sleep
