Varangian Guards - from 989 Orthodox Seraphs

from Splinters in Time by Endlager

/

lyrics

This time the Album begins with a quite melodic song. As much as I got from some listeners on the street some have more had problems to explain why also a Les Paul with high output EMGs sounds almost like a violin.
Comes at the end.
The issue is quite simple. The Kiovan Rus which lay foundation of Russia are made up Scandinavians and Finns and Balts ans Slavonics. And they turned around the 1st millenium fears to Orthodox christianity. And best thing is due a marriage with the sister of the Byzantine Emperor who called them for help against usurpators.
So they have as one of my songs told to kind of half gods or celestial and like the 3 catholic knight orders taken as similiarium the role of the Seraphs, Archangels, for the pope , the Kiovan Rus could be read as Seraphs for the Orthodox emperor and church.

If one likes to read some todays problems in it. Feel free to do so.

The book I was inspired by and has more to tell is that one here (and some many Swiss librarian upperclass never think it is true..) :
