Перевод песни Insomnium - Starless Paths

Cruel is the winter's might, dreadful the howl of wind
Beyond the pathless treks we roam, where the church bells never toll
The bloodhounds thrash and moan, a raven takes flight and caws
Shadows glance behind every tree, the forest is watching our way

Through this moonless night, through these starless paths
We roam, for the hunt has begun
Deeper we march into the unknown, deeper into the hidden womb
Of the woods, there is no return

A lonely hut at the edge of a cliff
A lonely hut waits there at the end of the world
A house deserted and cold

Wind-watcher and healer, a woman of might
Keeper of the secrets, of worlds above and below
I carry the torch here, I bring forth the flame
I ward off the darkness, cast the shadows away
Cast the shadows, cast the shadows away

Hear how the spirits ride
Across the night sky

Christ will scour this squalid land
Christ will hunt down the heretics and foes
So they say.
Devils lurk among the shadows of the trees
Demons wait outside the fences of Lord's church yard
They wait for our souls

Through this moonless night, through these starless paths
We roam, for the hunt will go on

Wind-watcher and healer, a woman of might
Keeper of the secrets, of worlds above and below
I carry the torch here, I bring forth the flame
I ward off the darkness, cast the shadows away

Enlightenment prevails over surmise and hate
Over pastors and zealots, over gallows and stocks

I draw out the lead, I stitch her wound
Outside in the coldness I'm gasping for air
I carried the torch here, brought reason and hope
I'm the herald of new dawn, harbinger of light

(But then there's a scream in the night)

And flames they rise, and winds they blow
She's gone into the dark
