Lyrics: Niklas Agalstra | Music & Arrangement: Waldkauz

In this song we dive into the story of Vasilisa the Brave - a slavic folktale about a poor orphan girl who gets send into the forest by her evil stepmother. Driven deeper into the forest by the three riders who represent her fears and doubts she meets the Baba Jaga - the mighty witch of eastern folklore. With her gifts, she is finally able to fight the darkness and stand against the shadows.

LYRICS

who is the white rider
pale as snow,
with a spear that blinds
say who is this white rider
oh vasilissa

Vassilisa, walks with fire
Vassilisa, walks with death
Vassilisa, strong desire
Vassilisa, hold your breath

oh tell me who is the red rider,
crimson as blood
armor like sun
who is this red rider
tell me Vasilissa

Vassilisa, walks with fire
Vassilisa, walks with death
Vassilisa, strong desire
Vassilisa, hold your breath

who is the black rider
dark as night
with a sword of ash
say who is this black rider
Oh Vasilissa

(breathe)

gift of fire
gift of death
gift of baba yaga
gift of mother
gift of crone
gift of light and dark

Vassilisa, walks with fire
Vassilisa, walks with death
Vassilisa, strong desire
Vassilisa, hold your breath
