Pagan Reign – Ancient Fortress – Enemy at the Gate

Lyrics: Heart of Slavonian native lands, You are inaccessible for epoch’s whirlwinds This town which grew among eternal woods Was hardened by many wars Hard stones of the high fortress walls You saw so many enemies for your time Raid after raid, fight after fight Never defeated in a thousand years’ light Road under shadows of strong trees A way to the palace of the rising clear sun People thrive with souls of bright beams Fear never enters our stronghold Calm settles on tower of the town And light never leaves Svarog’s stronghold By darkness banner of alarm has grown Shout of patrol – “Enemies at the gate” ——————————— ?????? ?????????? ???????? ??????, ?? ??????????? ??? ????? ??????, ?????, ??? ????? ?????: ?????? ?????, ????? ????, ? ????? ???????. ??????? ????? ??? ???? ??????????, ?? ?????? ????? ?????? ?? ???? ???, ?? ???? ?? ??????? ?? ?????? ??? ???? ?? ?????, ?? ??????? ?????. ?????? ??? ????? ??????? ????? ????? ? ??????????? ?????? ??????, ??? ???? ????? ???????? ??????, ? ????? ?? ????????? ???????? ?????. ???????????? ???? ?? ????? ??????, ? ???? ?? ??????? ??????? ?????, ?? ??????? ??? ??????? ????????? ???,? ????????? ???? — “????? ???? ? ?????”!

Episode 4 of my Religion, Faith, War and Peace series: I look at how seriously philosophies can be taken, shaping the lives of people; from the lowest worker to the most powerful men in the world. I look briefly at the great Hellenic philosophies and the impact one of these, Stoicism, had on Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
