slovakia - journey of the soul - death karma lyrics

the gravedigger takes measures with a hazel rod
and the witch sneaking nearby with sticky claws
for the water from the corpse is soaked with malicious powers
and the hazel rod can command the dead at the witch’s desires
for these days the holy prayers may not be halted
by the coffin’s side taking turns is the family of the departed
fear is great from the return of the dead…
close bеlongings in the casket are laid
and to sеal the soul some mugwort they add
this herb connected to the underworld powers
used after the funeral to cleanse the house
on charcoals as incense with some clothes from the dead
nine circles around the house have been made
more gifts for the journey are tied inside a knut

coins, food and salt mustn’t be forgot
after the coffin is seal with hammer and nails
the house is filled with women’s grievous wails
… carried out of the house
on the doorstep knock with the coffin thrice
so the soul can say goodbye to its old home
forget and never return from the other world
many days it happened, especially in the days of old
that the body buried in the grave was not yet cold

some mugwort they add
to the underworld powers
to cleanse the house
some clothes from the dead
have to be made
more gifts
are tied inside a knot
mustn’t be forgot
is seal with hammer and nails
the house is filled with women’s grievous wails
… carried out of the house
on the doorstep knock with the coffin thrice
so the soul can say goodbye to its old home
forget and never return from the other world
many days it happened, especially in the days of old
that the body buried in the grave was not yet cold
