Kutrigurs were nomadic equestrians who flourished in the Pontic-Caspian steppe in the 6th century AD.
The name Kutrigur, also recorded as Kwrtrgr, Κουτρίγουροι, Κουτούργουροι, Κοτρίγουροι, Κοτρίγοροι, Κουτρίγοροι, Κοτράγηροι, Κουτράγουροι, Κοτριαγήροι, is generally considered as a metathecized form of Turkic *Toqur-Oğur, thus the *Quturoğur mean "Nine Oğur (tribes)". There has been little scholarly support for theories linking the names of Kutrigurs and Utigurs to peoples such as the Guti/Quti and/or Udi/Uti, of Ancient Southwest Asia and the Caucasus respectively, which has been posited by Osman Karatay.
Procopius recounts that "in the old days many Huns, called then Cimmerians, inhabited the lands I mentioned already. They all had a single king. Once one of their kings had two sons: one called Utigur and another called Kutrigur. After their father's death they shared the power and gave their names to the subjected peoples, so that even nowadays some of them are called Utigurs and the others - Kutrigurs". They occupied the Tanaitic-Maeotic (Don-Azov) steppe zone, the Kutrigurs in the Western part and the Utrigurs towards the East.
It's just some of the things he said
keep going 'round inside my head
"I'm gonna save my soul
before things get impossible"
I should've seen the signs
and they were right before my eyes
he could've saved my soul
A fog rolled across the bay
I think I saw him sail away
now like those before
I'm just another body washed up on the shore
a curse on my bones
we made a pact among the stones
he could've saved my soul
he could've saved my soul
take me in your arms... 5x
do you recall the time
I think you just must have lost your mind
affected by the sun
and how the heavens lined up as we made our run
blood stained the lanes
and I could barely feel the pain
I loved you so much more
I loved you so much more
take me in your arms... 5x
We saw gunpowder paint the sky
demons hung out to dry
how many hours to go
before the next ice age suffocates the globe
sandstones remain
a sea of angels crossed the plain
they never save my soul
they never save my soul
take me in your arms... 5x
Pact among the stones
Save my soul...
Pact among the stones
Save my soul...
Pact among the stones
Save my soul...
Pact among the stones
Save my soul...
Pact among the stones
Save my soul...
Pact among the stones
