Sonic Death – Space Ark

The band name looks just as Russian as the song title – but both are as русский (Russian) as the Red Square or the Kalashnikov. Listen to the song, see the lyrics. You’ll learn that it could also (or better) have been titled космический ковчег. The first word means cosmic, and a ковчег (kaftyek) is an ark. Поехали, let’s go!

 

You’ll hear those words repeated, and in the video, the ark (кафчег) flies through the air.

Take Me

The lyrics end with a wish or plea: возьми меня с собой, забери мою боль, возьми меня с собой – take me with you, take away my pain, take me with you. Maybe to wherever the космический ковчег (space ark) comes from, and surely far, far away.

Live at Ионотека (Saint Petersburg), 2017.

From the album Space Goth (2017), available on Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube.
