Ти бачив сонце , бачив небо ,
багряний захід дивився на тебе ,
в цю мить ти далеко літав в небесах ,
забувши про спокій , здолавши свій страх ,
покинувши землю - поринув у небо
і зараз тобі вже нічого не треба , 
тебе лише манять хмари багрянні , 
сонця - захід , й простори небесні -
Безкрайні!...

Ти бачив сонце , бачив небо ,

і зараз тобі вже нічого не треба ,

Ти бачив сонце , бачив небо ,
багряний захід дивився на тебе 
Ти бачив сонце , бачив небо ,
багряний захід дивився на тебе

Вітер тебе на крилах несе
і ти забуваєш геть про усе ,
ти далі летів , здається сонце дістав ,
та захід невпинно від тебе втікав ,
небо темніло , з'явилися зорі -
розсипані всюди - як піщинки у морі ,
туманом тебе окутали хмари ,
прокинувся ти - й зникло все -
неначе примари...

Ти бачив сонце , бачив небо ,
багряний захід дивився на тебе ,
в цю мить ти далеко літав в небесах ,
... та жаль це було
лише в твоїх снах ...

ILLUSIVE DREAM
( translated from Ukrainian into English by Julia Shcherbina )

You’ve seen the sun, you’ve seen the sky,
You were flying in the heavens so high,
The crimson sunset seemed so near,
The peace was there and the conquered fear. 
Then you left the ground, dived into the cloud
That wrapped you around with its crimson shroud,
The sunset allures you; you’re charmed with its grace,
The vault of heaven – celestial space …
Infinite!...

You’ve seen the sun, you’ve seen the sky,
You were flying in the heavens so high
You’ve seen the sun, you’ve seen the sky,
You were flying in the heavens so high

The wind on its wings carries you like a king,
And you are forgetting about everything,
You’re flying so high, it seemed like you’ve touched the sun,
But the sunset diligently was on the run.
The sky became darker, the stars you can see,
Scattered around like the sand in the sea,
The clouds wrapped you with the white and dense mist,
It was your illusion, it was a dream – it didn’t exist...

You’ve seen the sun, you’ve seen the sky,
You were flying in the heavens so high,
The crimson sunset seemed so near,
It was just a dream 
that felt very real...

... i Crimson Himmel er jeg fly
i mitt Spøkelse Drømmen
som flyt inn i evigheten,
bringe meg til nord.

og nå Crimson Himmelen
i hjertet av vinteren
himmel hilser meg
Smaragder av Nord-lys!

Smaragder av Nord-lys ...

__ THE ODE ___
( music: Sergiy Medvid, Lyudmyla Savchuk, Anatoliy Kyrylyuk, Bohdan Torchylo 
lyrics: Bohdan Torchylo )
( Bohdan Torchylo dedicated song "The Ode"
to Roman Marcelo Melnychuk /26.08.1978-17.07.2005 R.I.P./)

Once , I remember sky was higher
And rivers deeper , world was shire
The air was clear , and we breath
and life was there , not a death

In the dense woods was nested Sandman
And spirits for tears were tender
And fundamental truth of honor
Was knowing for all hearts over

The fate gives sword into that hands
Those with an honor stood torments
Who was ignorant of a fear
And taken to the heavens clear

And everyone can believe into some
Like the door of soul opened to the sun
And bravely having all their dreams
N' freely spreading the power of wings

Outstretched wings there were in gloom
Fearing leash image of the moon
But the dark age not dead in violence
That age wrapped flattery of silence

The Ode

___ IN EYES OF MINE ___
(music: AnatoliyKyrylyuk , BohdanTorchylo , SergiyMedvid , LyudmylaSavchuk 
lyrics: Bohdan Torchylo )

It is the truth -
That the eyes
are the mirror 
Of the soul, of the soul

Its realy truth -
there was sadness
In my soul,
In my soul

But you saw everything
In my eyes
And cold ice and snow
Melted away inside my soul

And like a no one
You understood me
And lit up
The flame of love
In heart of mine

And I wanted
To give you
The whole world
If you only would
like to take this all
And in my heart
I raise to the throne.
I don't want the throne
To became an orphan!

And burning flame
To became only smoldering spark
And emptiness and snow
Were again
In the mirror of the soul,
In the mirror of the soul -
In eyes of mine
In the mirror of the soul,
In the mirror of the soul -
In eyes of mine.

In Eyes Of Mine

___ Х Р Е С Т ___
( music: Sergiy Medvid, Anatoliy Kyrylyuk, Lyudmyla Savchuk, Bohdan Torchylo
lyrics: Alex D'shel, Bohdan Torchylo )

... Angels of death are singing to us
Requiem without words.
Do this step in last once
In the end of times ...

... і в ту мить навіть вітер затих
та померла надія безвтішно
було чути молитву глухих
досить праведно , але грішно

і перетинки рвуться до крові
сльози кригою вкрив мороз
і затихнувши на пів слові
в повній тиші помер там хтось

і самотньо смерть промайнула ,
посміхнувшись з його очей ,
і людина тоді збагнула -
що вже досить під хрест плечей

і знов вітер люто завив
розтривоживши нелогічність
я поміняв свій порив
на тимчасову вічність

... життя - 
наче смерть ,
слова -
наче тиша ...

Ангели смерті співають для нас
реквієм цей без слів
зроби свій крок в останній раз
в кінці усіх часів

та повернуться лиш ті ,
хто не ховаючись від сліз ,
не заблукав у самоті 
і на вершину хрест доніс ...

... життя - 
наче смерть ,
слова -
наче тиша ...

___ THE CROSS ___
( translated from Ukrainian into English by Julia Shcherbina )

... Angels of death are singing to us
Requiem without words.
Do this step in last once
In the end of time ...

... In a flash even the wind calmed down,
Inconsolably the hope was dying,
And the prayer of the deaf in the town
Was so pious but sinfully crying.

And the blood burst out from the ears,
And the tears are covered with frost,
With no words, in a silence of fears
Someone’s life to a death was lost.

The death lonely vanished in a flare,
Smiling cunningly from his eyes,
That this cross is too heavy to bear
Every person then realized.

Again the wind furiously howls,
And the lack of logic increases,
I would change this wild growl
Just for one moment of peace.

... Our life’s like a death,
The words are like silence ...

... Angels of death are singing to us
Requiem without words.
Do this step in last once
In the end of time ...

But the chosen ones will return,
Who weren’t scared of tears to drop,
Who were resolute and stern,
And brought the cross up to the top ...

... Our life’s like a death,
The words are like silence ...

HISTORY
In its renewed cast the band CRIMSON SKY has started to work in May 2010. 
The vocalist, the founder and the leader of the band Bohdan Torchylo brought together both experienced and beginning musicians. From the former cast were only he and the keyboardist Anatoliy Kyrylyuk.

The band itself was founded in July 1998, in Rivne (Ukraine) by Bohdan Torchylo and his friend Nazar Mazurok. From the very beginning the band began to play gothic-doom metal.

The early history of the band’s formation was not rich in important events in the creative and concert way. 
The progress of the band was slowed down due to different changes of the band’s cast and musical difficulties for a long time. That was the reason why the creative and musical activity was not making progress as fast as wanted.

The short chronology of that period: 
2000 - The first appearance and the first active concert period.

2003 - an active creative period of the old band members. The made material could be worth creating a full-length studio album. But again, due to some musical difficulties and the changes in the cast it was not recorded.

Autumn 2005 - the last performance of the old cast of the band

January 2006 - the last rehearsal of the old cast, after which the band leader Bohdan Torchylo decided to find a new cast.

From 2006 to the current time - vocal and creative activity of Bohdan Torchylo is in the cast of the band ТИРАНІЯ (TYRANIYA).

May 2010 - the rebirth of CRIMSON SKY with the new cast. During the first months, the band worked at the new concert program and in OCTOBER 23, 2010 - the PREMIER of the renewed CRIMSON SKY took place!!!

In November 2010 the band started to work on recording the debut album in the studio of their friend-band MЭRVA (MERVA).

Within 11 days the material of the debut album “Rising” was recorded. 
During the next few months the work on mixing and mastering of the album continued. The sound engineering, mixing and mastering of the album was made by Peter Zarudnyy – the vocalist, the guitarist and the leader of the band MЭRVA (MERVA).

In April 2011 – the band CRIMSON SKY have presented their first Internet-single "Примарний Сон - Illusive Dream". The single gained many favourable reviews in Ukraine and outside the country.

And in May 2011 the band signed a contract with the "Black Art production & distribution" label to issue the album “Rising”.

June 2011 – the issue of the album “Rising” on the label "Black Art production & distribution"

September 2011 - Crimson Sky took part in Global East Festival (Kiev, Ukraine). The headliner of the festival was German power metal band Helloween and the bands from Germany and Sweden: Lyfthrasyr, The Mary Major.

October 2011 - the band supported Haggard on the concert in Kharkiv.

May 2012, the band won the honor to perform at METAL HEADS MISSION - the biggest festival in Ukraine and CIS countries. The festival welcomed such bands as Cannibal Corpse, Moonspell, Samael, Agnostic Front, Pro-Pain, Fleshgore, Napalm Death, Dead Infection, Cerebral Turbulency, Moonfog, Suffocation, Benediction, Vader and Immolation ... The festival will take place in Yevpatoria (Crimea, Ukraine) in August 2012.

At the moment the band promotes themselves and the debut album "Rising" and working on the material for the 2nd album. Some songs are already performed at concerts.
