2004, Сыны Севера, “Разочарование”, in Орлиный взор:Но кто сража́лся, тот и бу́дет сража́ться,
Не до побе́дного конца́, а до сме́рти свое́й
И бу́дет он кро́вью харка́ться,
но не за что не возлю́бит э́тих не́людей
- No kto sražálsja, tot i búdet sražátʹsja,
Ne do pobédnovo koncá, a do smérti svojéj
I búdet on króvʹju xarkátʹsja,
no ne za što ne vozljúbit étix néljudej
- Who fought, he will fight,
Not unto a victorious end, but to his death
And he will spit blood,
But no way he will come to love these non-humans
