Arknights EP - [Requiem]

The vision remains on the rust, the smoke and dust drift away.

Let go of the languid thoughts and vigilance, go far away in delirium.

[Requiem], stop in the flames of war, back to the early morning in the homeland.

Listen, that's the somniloquy from childhood...

Let's drain the cup.

[mako]

Man took the saying "Don't stop when you're tired, stop when you're done." to a whole new level.

[ibreathenapalm]

Yostar: "Your order, sir?"
Me: "Yes, an espresso depresso please. Extra bitter"
Yostar: "Right away, that will be 18 originium"

[AidenFrystz]

"I have seen. Woe and tragedy."
"I have seen. Death and carnage."
"I have seen. Neglect and blasphemy."
"But someone once told me. It is all in our hands. If in the future, this is all that awaits us..."
"O, little King of Sarkaz. It is all in our hands. If this is fate..."
"Then I reject it."
"My Lord.. Where will you go?"

~Buldrokkas'tee

[amoamo]

Patriot is such a well written character. May he rest in peace with his daughter.

[emprinyx]

*"Rhodes Island, I advance."*

One of the best well written and overall character yet in the story. That's just show even it meant his end, he keep stay fighting even against the very fate itself.

He never back away, turn around, nor betray his own beliefs. But he finally believe that the new heir will be a good one and ensure the better of the future.

Pretty much same case for his adopted daughter.

Here's an alternative translation I've found which places emphasis on preserving the poetic nature of the lyrics, but please be mindful that I don't understand a word of Russian and cannot speak for its accuracy.

It was when no one smiled any longer
Save the dead, who were glad of release.
As for what's happened,
May sackcloth and ashes enshroud it,
And see all the lamps are removed...
Night.

So madness now has wrapped its wings
Round half my soul and plies me, heartless,
With draughts of fiery wine, begins
To lure me towards the vale of darkness.

And I can see that I must now
Concede the victory - as I listen,
The dream that dogged my fevered brow
Already seems an outside vision.

And only flowers decked with dust,
And censers ringing, footprints thrust
Somewhere-nowhere, afar.
And, staring me straight in the eye
And warning me that death is nigh,
Is one enormous star.

Mountains bend beneath that boundless sorrow,
And the mighty river stops its flow.

So madness now has wrapped its wings
Round half my soul and plies me, heartless,
With draughts of fiery wine, begins
To lure me towards the vale of darkness.

And I can see that I must now
Concede the victory - as I listen,
The dream that dogged my fevered brow
Already seems an outside vision.

"Rest in peace, my daughter, Yelena"
"You too, dad"

[erfanthered]

Shield, shattered.
Spear, snapped.
The huge monster doesn't even flinch. He keeps hulking forward.

Hearing this song play when patriot dies made me cry so much
Farewell Buldrokkas'tee, you were my favourite character from the beginning to the end.

[widyasl]

Patriot life is full tragedy
- Become the last of his kind (Wendigo)
- His wife, son and daughter died
- He always yearn for his birthplace (Kazdel) and his hometown (Ursus), though can't come back again
- Betray his own idea thrice (betray Kazdel, Ursus, then Reunion)
- He truly hate and always fight fate, ironically in the end he is dead because fate itself (prophecy about the last Sarkaz killed by Lord of Fiends)

[sleepingbutterfly]

Невероятно рад песне на русском!
Наконец-то!!
Это ещё и Ахматова.
Абсолютно не жаль денег, потраченных на игру, ведь кроме интересного геймплея, сюжета и т.д., а получаю ещё и такие внеигровые вещи.

[TheSemen]

Никто не забыт, ничто не забыто...
F for true children of Motherland

[cleanrt]

"...I hereby witness a Sarkaz. Buldrokkas'tee, Wendigo of Kazdel, betrayed neither flesh nor blood, disgraced not his tribe."
"He leaves his body, with his life, under the light..."
"...And his soul returns to the warm blood of the Wendigos."


- Dr. Kal'tsit

[makie]

Press F to those who skipped the stories.

[janaded.]

Father and daughter finally reuinted in a world of snow white forest, there no one would harm them nor would they suffer pain anymore.
We, who were left behind, are the one who bear the sorrow and continue on the fight to make the world a better, happier place. No matter how painful it get, we must always move forward.This requiem is the thing that will always remind us of the one who has fallen to become one part of our road to tomorrow.
Thank you for the English sub.

[kyliew]

His armor is in disrepair and damaged in many places. The blade of his once sharp halberd is now eroded with rust. However, the indomitable Patriot never capitulates, never backs down, and never shows mercy. he has long struggled with fate, and now resolves to slit the throat of fate.

[brans]

"Never backing off, never giving up for a single second. Even so, death still put a stop to his lifelong advance."

He fought till his last breath. What a fcking legend

[alexander]

О, как круто, конечно чувстуется акцент, но я был невероятно удивлен услышав стихи Анны Ахматовой

Lyrics hit you even more when you're a slav.

[TherealShytendo]

Lyrics in Russian:
Это было, когда улыбался
Только мертвый, спокойствию рад
а то, что случилось,
Пусть черные сукна покроют,
И пусть унесут фонари...
Ночь.
Уже безумие крылом,
Души накрыло половину,
И поит огненным вином
И манит в черную долину.
И поняла я, что ему
Должна я уступить победу,
Прислушиваясь к своему
Уже как бы чужому бреду.
И только пыльные цветы,
И звон кадильный, и следы
Куда-то в никуда.
И прямо мне в глаза глядит
И скорой гибелью грозит
Огромная звезда.
Перед этим горем гнутся горы,
Не течет великая река.
Уже безумие крылом,
Души накрыло половину,
И поит огненным вином
И манит в черную долину.
И поняла я, что ему
Должна я уступить победу,
Прислушиваясь к своему
Уже как бы чужому бреду.


Eto bylo, kogda ulybalsya
Tol'ko mertvyy, spokoystviyu rad
a to, chto sluchilos'
Pust' chernyye sukna pokroyut,
I pust' unesut fonari...
Noch'.
Uzhe bezumiye krylom,
Dushi nakrylo polovinu,
I poit ognennym vinom
I manit v chernuyu dolinu.
I ponyala ya, chto yemu
Dolzhna ya ustupit' pobedu,
Prislushivayas' k svoyemu
Uzhe kak by chuzhomu bredu.
I tol'ko pyl'nyye tsvety,
I zvon kadil'nyy, i sledy
Kuda-to v nikuda.
I pryamo mne v glaza glyadit
I skoroy gibel'yu grozit
Ogromnaya zvezda.
Pered etim gorem gnutsya gory,
Ne techet velikaya reka.
Uzhe bezumiye krylom,
Dushi nakrylo polovinu,
I poit ognennym vinom
I manit v chernuyu dolinu.
I ponyala ya, chto yemu
Dolzhna ya ustupit' pobedu,
Prislushivayas' k svoyemu
Uzhe kak by chuzhomu bredu.

"Are you crying?"
"Nah, who will cry just because a game"
"But... Your tears are flowing"
"Ah... So that's the reason why my heart is hurt"
