A magyar előidőkből; Egy ​asszonyi hajszál

The opening transports listeners to a mythic age when the Hungarian peoples—Kun, Jasz, Bessenyei—still spoke a single tongue and shared a common heritage. A massive battle erupts on a blood‑red plain, its clashing swords and thundering horns echoing across the landscape as king Vid, wounded and weary, watches his army crumble. The vivid, almost cinematic narration draws you into the chaos, the desperation of soldiers, and the haunting question of whether the blood‑stained field is a sunrise or a sacrificial offering.

Amid the ruins, a mysterious, song‑filled valley offers a brief respite, where a young, otherworldly woman kneels before a white cross, chanting a plaintive “de profundis” that seems to cleanse the king’s tormented spirit. Their encounter blends prophecy with mercy, hinting at a path beyond relentless warfare, while the ancient forest and hidden grotto whisper of a deeper, timeless moral code. Listeners are left with a lingering sense of both loss and hope, as the saga pauses on the threshold between the battlefield and a possible new sanctuary.
