Here are the rules in brief:
The player provides a song, any song (to start), and the NEXT player must name another song, but it must contain the last word of the previous song. I'll start.
Far away, flocks of winter birds fly...
Smoke drove them away faster than foxes,
Smoke floated over the entire land,
Ludvig Brog threw a feast...
Where is the warrior who will shout to them: "Stop!"
The west rolled like a wave towards the east,
A cross on their backs and in their hearts,
The Teutonic spears aimed at the sun,
The smell of burning carried a black message!
The owl, the wolf, and the eagle amused themselves with the game,
Sensing Russian blood from afar,
All the unholy forces promised help
To the Magister and the order of dogs!
In the altars, the saints weep,
The alarm bell rings,
The hour of battle is already set...
It will be hell, triple hell,
But not a step back!!!
The stars will show the warrior the way,
He quickly saddles his horse,
His heart froze, but his will awoke
In battle – three nights, three days!
And the slave's collar is knocked out of the hands
Of the Magister; and the ice floes crack;
For the will hidden under the snow
The warrior strikes, sparing no sword!
In the altars, the saints weep,
Although the enemy is defeated and crushed...
He rides back alone,
It was utter hell, triple hell:
The warrior is crucified on spears!!!
Now his fate is to wander as a shadow,
And, hearing the howling of dogs, to sharpen his sword,
He knows no fear, no eternal peace,
Everything will turn to dust...
But not him!!!
Since then, so much water has flowed,
The seas have turned into a mirage,
The warrior passes by as a silent shadow,
To the shore, like a faithful guard...
The warrior wanders all night, lighting fires,
Looking for his prince and brothers,
Looking for the will's gold, which they mined
In that battle, knee-deep in blood.
The path through the stars is marked again
And again the alarm bell rings,
In the altars, the saints weep,
And the warrior descends into hell, utter hell,
But not a step back!!!
