about

The protagonist of this song is Tsar Ivan IV, known as the terrible, and his role as one of the most important Russian rulers.
His reign and court life were marked by conspiracy, persecution, war, his personality became famously unstable, cruel, prone to mystical crisis, but he could show long term political and spiritual vision of the Russian imperial plan.
He was the first Russian monarch to claim the title of Tsar, derived from Caesar, thus to assume the political heritage of the ancient Roman emperors. At the same time he proclaimed himself protector of the Orthodox Christian Faith and heir to the Byzantine tradition of the fallen Constantinople.
Following these precise choices, chroniclers began referring to Moscow as the Third Rome.

lyrics

Bande nere, teste di segugio
Per fiutar e poi spazzare via ogni sotterfugio

E se la spada sola suggella rispetto
sopra ogni crimine abietto dall'alto cala

Гости въехали к боярам во дворы
Загуляли по боярам топоры
Как с похмелья гости домой пошли
Они терем этот за собой зажгли

Imperator - risorta autocrazia
Basileus - reclamati regalia

Decaduto è l'occidente perso nell'antichità
Piangi Costantino il destino della tua città
Ma nel cuore della bruma si riflette il sole sulle
Cupole dorate della Terza Roma

E la mano di Dio s'abbatté sulle schiere del nemico
Schiacciando dal più infimo dei vermi al rivale più antico

Lavando infine l'onta dell'asiatico dominio
Imponendo lo sterminio indelebil impronta

Vera Fede il voto a preservar
Guida, Signore, il primo Zar

Иван Грозный Первый Царь
Божиею Милостью

trad-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Black warbands, hound heads
To sniff out and sweep away every deception

And if the sword alone can seal respect
it shall fall upon every petty crime

The guests visited the nobles in their courts
Axes danced over the nobles
As the guests went home after the hangover
They left the towers behind them in flames

Imperator - resurrected autocracy
Basileus - claimed royalty

The West has fallen, lost in ancient times
Weep, Constantine, the destiny of your city
But in the heart of the mist the sun shines
on the golden domes of the third Rome

And the hand of God fell down on the ranks of the enemy
Crushing from the lowest of worms to the most ancient foe

Finally washing away the shame of the Asian dominion
Slaughter imposing a permanent mark

A vow to shield true faith
Guide, Lord, the first Tsar

Ivan the terrible, first Tsar
By the grace of God
