Vessels of Rasna - Populonia Lyrics

Soldier:
“Oh Nethuns, foam of the waves,
Point toward which all currents converge!
We invoke you, we need your help!”

Soldier:
“I know Fufluna is not so far
The rowers, they are weary!
The wind these days does not sing!
The anchor, heritage of my people
Rests in the depths of the sea!”

Nethuns:
“What's doing a ship in my kingdom?
Who dares disturb me?
Speak human, but be fast
Like the sea I’m always agoing.”

Nethuns:
“Famous are the vessels of Rasna
You don’t need to summon a god!
We taught you how to follow the stars
Maybe you have denied the Discipline?
In this case you deserve only death!
Only death!”

Nethuns: “Only death!”

Soldier:
“In the heat of victory
Trying to avoid the wrecks
We have gone too far.”

Crew:
…We have gone too far...

Soldier:
“The mast, which only stands on our heads
It holds barely!”

Soldier:
“The last ramming with our metal beak
Shook the bridge made it tilt.
An arrow pierced our navigator
The only one expert in celestial maps!”
Nethuns:
“If so I will help,
I am sending a current
in the direction you longed!
But in my name I want a temple
When you return
And votive offerings always fresh!”

Soldier:
“Glory to you oh sea breeze
This ship would be our tomb
The wood our bed,
The sea our mound
Without your help!”

Nethuns:
“This and more can the gods
Once already helped your people find a port
Where to land and take root.
Radiant is the future
Of those who owns your blood!”
Soldier: “Our blood!”
Nethuns: “Your blood!”
Soldier: “Our blood!”
