the_spore, not at all!
In 1987 the band "Aria" recorded on their album "Hero Of Asphalt" an epic song, called "Ballad of an Ancient Russian Warrior". This song has no official video, but there is a video series, compiled by talented amateur of the newsreel shots of World War II and fragments of the movie "Alexander Nevsky". This is my favorite song of "Aria". I hope you enjoy it.


Lyrics
Flocks of winter birds raced into the distance
The smoke drove them away, faster than a fox
The smoke was spread over the whole earth
Ferocious rabble made a feast
Where is the warrior who will shout to them: "Stop!"?

West rolled to the East, as a wave
On their backs and the heart they had cross-stitched
Teutonic spears were aimed at the sun
Burning smell brought a black news
Owl, wolf and eagle made fun of the game
From afar, feeling the blood of Russians
All of the unholy power promised to help
Master of the Teutonic Order

The saints are cryin' in the altars
Alarm buzzed anxiously
Hour of battle has already been assigned
But it will be hell
Hell Thrice
But - not a step backwards!

Stars prompt to the warrior his way
He quickly saddled his horse
His heart stood still - and will wake up
He is in a battle three nights and three days
He is knocked the slave's collar out of the hands of Master
And the ice is cracked
Warrior beats, not sparing the sword
For a precious freedom, hidden under the snow

The saints are cryin' in the altars, despite the fact that the enemy is defeated and dropped
The horse gallops back without a rider
It was hell, hell,
Warrior is crucified on spears

Now, his fate - to roam like the shadow
And when he heard the dogs howl, he sharpens his sword again.
He didn't know fear.
Rest...
Everything will turn to dust...
But not he!

Since then much water has flowed
Seas turned into a mirage
Warrior - loyal guard, goes to the beach, like a silent shadow
He wanders through the night, lights fires
He is looking for the Prince and his brothers-warriors
He is looking for a precious freedom, which won in the battle, knee-deep in blood
Stars again point the way
And the alarm is buzzing again
The saints are cryin' in the altars
And the warrior goes to hell, hell
But - not a step backwards!
But - not a step backwards!

Flocks of winter birds raced into the distance ....

This is a Russian hard-rock band "Black Coffee". Ballad, titled "Leaves".


"Leaves" (lyrics)

Leaf, that falls from branch
In the golden autumn day
It whirls through the air
And dancing, like an artist
leaf, that falls from branch
It has no brothers or sisters
It one for the whole space
He gets drunk on freedom
And burns like fire
He is one for the whole space
If leaves could know
How long fly to the ground
And then lie, wallow
Underfoot and in the dust
If leaves could know
If leaves could know

But, for all of us
One hour of freedom is always dear to our hearts
And sometimes, we will spare no life
To sip this freedom at least once
So is there for all of us
So is there for all of us

If leaves could know it...
If leaves could know...

Anti-war song of group "DDT", called "Don't Shoot!" (Some video made vocalist Yuri Shevchuk, who traveled to areas of fighting in Chechnya and sang for the soldiers.)



"Don't Shoot!" (lyrics)

Don't shoot at sparrows, don't shoot at pigeons
Don't shoot for fun from yours slingshot
Hey boy, don't shoot and don't brag about to others,
That you beat without a miss in the live targets

You've been a frequent participant in the shooting galleries, people was surprised, looking at you,
You get prizes for your excellent shooting
Your beat with a smile, without aiming, without thinking, and in flight.
And all around saying: "Here's a guy out of luck!"

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

And one day it happened, what he dreamed of -
He went to war...
And when finally returned home
He never went to his old shooting gallery
And every time, when someone remembered about the war,
He stoked his conscience in a strong wine
Before him, like a living, the guy stood,
One guy, who begged him to only about one -

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"
"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"

Song by band "Piknik" - "Not finding a clones for ourselves..." ("Себе не найдя двойников...")


Lyrics:

Straps and elastic skin
Stockings from the saliva of spiders
You are frolic, dressed in a demonic clothing
And you feel so sweetly and easily

And the fact that my world destroyed -
You don't care
And I want to hide myself from your eyes
Like of the bright light

And now pale shadows
Looks through our window
As if now, someone will commit a crime

But, in fact, something different will happens -
Hand wouldn't touch the hand
And you and I will be close just in one thing -
We both will be waiting for the heat...

Straps and elastic skin
Stockings from the saliva of spiders
You are frolic, dressed in a demonic clothing
And you feel shaky and easily

We should have to run!
But where to find a word that stronger than iron chains?
And we have to live again -
Not finding a clones for ourselves...

Very pretty song. I can definitely hear an 80's glam metal influence. (I like glam metal)

Chorny Kofe, is this the band's name?
