[Music by Arkadius]
Through the unnatural silence rose a moan,
As if from the very Earth itself.
As it rose in volume it also rose in pitch,
Until it was clear that it issued from the
Standing stones of Salisbury plain.
Inoxarably the sounds crescendoed into the
Shrieking wail of the druids.
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
When the moon shines bright
all leaves delight
is to dance with the wind
is to whisper in silence
is to cover the world with a hint
Low lie the fields of fright
enchanted by the moon
embosomed by night
Our sillouhetles flow in the wind
The wind calls a secret name
and pale licking flames
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
That is not dead
which can eternal lie
yet with strage aeons
even death may lie
H.P. Lovecraft
I bewail my destiny
a foible of mine
but her voice tortures my mind
I yearn for her bosom
I fear her sway
my eternal blemish
is her embrace
She whispers : chose a realm -
these two are the preferred ones:
Hell - where your soul reduces to ashes
Near the shores of Toraigh,
Beneath the pounding waves
In shadowed depths
And dark embrace
In the dark abyss
Beyond the waves,
Balor of the strong blows
Lies in wait
From shadowed depths
Beyond the sea
Ablaze his eye
He will arise
Towers of glass,
Like icy blades
Rise up to the skies
When he's awake
Forgotten gods return to roam,
Standing stones begin to shriek,
When hope becomes despair,
In a world full of hate and greed
Balor waits no more,
Dark eyes lit with exultation,
A third eye opening,
Hurling bolts of lightning
Flesh and bone turn to ashes,
Sacrificial fires burn again
A thousand men slain, blood-red waves
Pounding upon the shores
As time is senseless,
As night is endless,
Reality is darkness,
Existence is emptiness
In shadowed depths
Of the black abyss
Born from dark mists
And raging storms
Forgotten gods return to roam,
Standing stones begin to shriek,
When hope becomes despair,
In a world full of hate and greed
The triumph of evil,
When good men stay silent,
Then Balor of the Evil Eye,
Has arisen from death
Black cloaked Balor, arisen from death
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
I felt asleep, with the raising moon
Found myself born anew
All my grief and all my pain
Turns into glee (in another dream)
Low whispering voices say
Everything is a dream
So sheltering dreams keep me alive
I try to leave, I try to hide
Can't they hear my silent cry
I cannot breathe in their light
But a low voice whispers to me
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
[Lead: Arkadius]
So I reel away to a vale
of cists in front of me
endless buried names of forlorn games
wilting I fall to the ground
unable to reach the gate
the stones on which he lain all knew his name
Fare you well my mother
I shall search your flames
in the four winds of the land
Fare you well my dear son
Never forget the end
I awake by moonlight
under a lorn tree
a forgotten might
forces me to the sea
By a lonly seashore
a fair young naiad beholds me
the spray whispers my name
I laud her embrace , my wild young sea
So In desperate longing I take my path
unable to turn around
a forgotten might lames my will
But in my dreams I can hear her voice
a flame in the dark
a forgotten might makes me chill
By a lonly tree
a fair maiden beholds me
Eyes of soil , a sylvan goddess
her beauty lames my forlorn heart
silently the stones whisper a name
I laud her embrace like a fuddled bard
So In desperate...
By a bleak ghastly champaign
a gibbous moon illuminates
staring eyes in the wind
burning like infernal blazes
I will never laud her cold embrace
Towards an empty land we sailed
Nemed, our father, led the way
Towards the home of the brave and free
Towards our isle of destiny
We raised two forts and cleared twelve plains
We worked the land and claimed our place
Four lakes burst up out of the ground
We sacrificed on sacred mounds
But gods envy the delights of men!
A terrible evil swarmed ashore
And with them came disease and war
Their runed flesh was foul and black
In battle their two kings were met
Three thousand Nemedians fell that day
A pillar of stone was raised for each man slain
Three thousand pillars on the plain
Nemed himself soon died of plague
Two thirds of all we had, they claimed
One last assault on Conand's tower
One final attempt to end the terror
Through mists of time
Sound bloody chimes
Of clashing shields
Of arrows soaring
Of battle-horns
And stones roaring
Score sixty thousand fought that day
Conand and his heirs were slain
The Fomorian tower of strength lay waste
More pillars on the plains were raised
Yet Morc returned from across the waves
Countless demons retaliate
On rhythms of rage he wrote our fate
Thirty Nemedians survived that day
In utter defeat we sailed away
Leaving behind our sacred ground
Where naught of us remained...
[Music by Arkadius; Lyric by Marcel]
[Myrddin:]
Hear my words Earl of Gwent
I am the fatherless one
Drain the lake and rouse the dragons
Take my blood
Yon stronghold will never stand
For the hour of doom is rung
See the dragons rise into the air
They`ll be figting sore and long
For a wise man will come to take the crown
When even the house
Of romulus fell
His final fate
No seer can foretell
There`s a greater place
Beyond the realms of lethe
There`s a flaming trace in our heart
So all becomes one
In a reel of disharmony
The cause and the witness
At least a memory
Truly life is a weaving of misery
Only drawn by single threads
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Cold and lifeless lay the plains of lore
Until finally silently a spirit evoke
And timeless clansmen rose
By the sound of the old
Celtic tunes of war
Rise...
And feel the deadly breeze
The scent of burning flesh
For my blade thirsts for
Another war
Curse of the might to take
Oh it`s a human bane
To fan the fires
To cause an higher aim
Here we stand
Brothers in war
From the four
Winds of the land
High on the hills
We stay proud and brave
For Freedom is a right
And serfdom a grave
Death to our foes...
War!!!
Legions of greed
Of fire and light
A thousand pikes
Fight as one man
Stormlike enraged
They fight `till they die
The one to enthrall
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
So long he is gone
With a pale servile face
His way led right through
A cold bloody haze
His yell pierced the cold frosty mornin`
As he erased someone wicked with evil
[Chorus:]
So like millions before
He died in his gore
And those who survived
Died in their minds
But those who does not care
Were dead before
Who loves his sword
Even loves war
Four children he left behind
With a mournin' mother
All their dreams return nevermore
This hope is lost - killed in war
[Bridge]
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
close all doors
each eve when night descends
never call their names
there might be one attend
Like changelings
in the cradle of mundane reason
they still roam at night
so sure as the change of seasons
Each morn silken mist asphyxiates
this green deserted land
the sea calls my name with its imperious voice
each eve the roaring wind howls : you won`t resist my sway
this meagre soil derides me day by day
Where is it , this sweet Mag Mell with its luscious laughter
the sidhe in their hills sing of and embitters my life
each story which gone astray on the wings of the wind
rips my soul and my mind slowly apart
Still there`s a silver throne standing
under each hill of the land
it reigns over the realm of the night
the kingdom in my mind
[Lead : Arkadius]
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Fear his words
creating worlds
for now and ever a living memory
Holding the crown
he reigns all alone
one man, one will but no destiny
Straight through the memories of woe
into the fields of buried glee
here the wilting dreams below
source and ending of this story
Fall down to your knees to adore the lie
Fill the power and right to reign in violence
time and failure have sharpened our mind
disarmed and voicless it finally has to rest in silence
Hear the tales of thousands and one death
of revange and wreath
see the veils which cover our mind
silently making us blind
Silentium est aurum
step back to where it once began
silentium est aurum
the adornment in our requiem
So die in lies...
He`s creeping through the dephts of living
holding out until the end
no remorse and no forgiving
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
The moon passed his realm oh many times
Restless he hied to the caress of the sea
Sylphlike lights in the dark with alluring voices
So many stars I`ve never seen
So I cursed each day
And it`s joyful sneer
And in nights of fear
I saw their darksome shapes of light
I hied with the wind
Won`t ever dree my weard
Endless width of splendour
But my thoughts stood dear
Strayed in nowhere
Some inner tide
Made me long afar
To an aim beyond all sight
(Is there no one to guide me)
Through this endless maze
Where are the stars and dales ?
Where is my way home ?
Oh where am I ?
Strayed in nowhere...
To and fro I went in my sleep
But each step brought me closer to my last
Standing stones glared at me with fathomless eyes
Assuring me that I am lost
Sylphlike lights in the dark with alluring voices
So many stars I`ve never seen
Each a one called me to rest
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Fly aloft Leave
All Ground behind
Your cradle below the winds of
Watch, watch, the dark book is yearning
Look now, Fomorians are crying
Days filled with peril are waiting
I'll bury the book with my druid
Watch, watch, your people are fleeing
Go now, your race is defeated
Days filled with peril are waiting
Or stay here and love me, brave druid
Once your allegiance is given
Your life-force forever shall feed me
But while you refuse my seduction
Your servant till death I must be
Watch, watch, the demons are reigning
Look now, Fomorians are feasting
Days filled with hate are waiting
I'll help you take vengeance, brave druid
We'll capture their foul evil essence
With dark spells we'll put them to rest
Beyond the waves their souls will be sent
A black book of power we'll craft
Watch, watch, the demons are waning
Look now, Fomorians are fading
Days filled with bliss are waiting
Without hate you'll succumb, my brave druid
Once your allegiance is given
Your life-force forever shall feed me
No longer do you refuse my seduction
My servant till death you must be
Sleep now, your strength is depleting
My oath is no longer binding
Die, die, your life-force is failing
I'll mourn your demise, my brave druid
Watch, watch, the dark book is yearning
Look now, Fomorians are crying
Days filled with peril are waiting
I'll bury the book with my druid
Watch, watch, the dark book is yearning
Look now, Fomorians are crying
Days filled with peril are waiting
Sae the mindin
In yer heid
Unrowes afore yer een
Frea hours o'sweet yestreen
Aye the ember deid
In monie a heid
Fare ye well
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Enter the circle
Banish all fright - of the night
Shadows whirl around
Hunting and chasing the remained light
Fall into the darkness
Severed of reality
Sable spirits dance around
Laughing at your velleity
They arouse all secret fears
The innermost blemish
Another phantom born in light
Changes to the other side
And through a maze
Of howling images
Through times of old
Lies the arcanum unfold
Attacked by discord
Which devours your heart
Crawl in despair
To follow the light
Aberrant mind
Paralysed by fear
Another soul is struck
With the burden of sight
Seasons of fire and ice
Rise from the past into life
Companions of reality
Guardian of our time
Memories of misery
Shall be our sword and shield
[Music by Skyclad, Lyrics by Martin Walkyier]
[Music by Arkadius, Marcel; Lyric by Marcel]
[Myrddin:]
Oh, remembering the words
The vision of the sage
He summoned all the heathen breed
A black hearts dream of a new age
Taint and vicious life he cried
Strongest of his kind
Shattered by a fateful might
A carnal spell devoured his fiery mind
Distrust and treason
The strong will survive
Is no virtue of reason
While the whole land is moaning
Oh, who`s worth to be king
Revange! Hunt the king of Cornwall down
The troops will march
For they adore the cauldron
All is fading to ashes, turning to war
Oh, all you woeful warriors
For yon weakness`ll never be strength
Cold and fearless you adore
The lies of a madman right till the end
And in a night of roaming shadows
With a spell on his face
He seduced the unaware widow
Oh what murderous embrace
So fate took its course
With less rhyme than reason
War and hate
Will bear brighter days
The night passed
Its crown to the king of dawn
This dream will last
Till the day
[Music by Suidakra]
[Instrumental]
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
A petrified spell
here where the stormwinds yell
the crown of the reef and the land it defies
High and statly
the claw of the sea
reach for the stars to distant skies
Rising worlds behind my closed eyes
a kingdom an island in an ocean of decay
falling through ages my curse and delight
to escape for a while the bleak neon light
Taste of life is bitter sometimes
so take your heart
and your mind to bury it somewhere
tear your soul apart
sometimes when the main is roaring
hear them moan to fall awake
fighting with persistant power
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Like the holy scripture said
Satan fled from his prison
He twisted the minds
In the garment of the holy church
Every fairy-tale has a wiff of truth
Our scaffold is build on this
I for one, a wife, the original sin sentenced me
Depressed by a dogma, without a will
In a land of cold, a princess of drearyness
Flames are licking on my flesh, but I chill
With their flesh so strong
And a mind so weak
A crusade for their god
With a fond full of blood
A silent enigma`s still untouched
The gleam inside fades more and more
Don't fear the darkness, nor the scythe
Then reason comes to fore
Only darkness beared the light
Incredulity bears the truth
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Woe... when fear is our bridle
Lost in the claws of decay
Oh , Tomorrow's a grinning skull
That leads our way
Sweet oblivion rocks us
In a cradle of darkness
Reel to the first tune
In the crescendo of death
Each delight becomes a jeering guilt
Our mohters viscera sticks bleedin' in our throat
So we grunt and we belch without any dread
Prelude the eventide of the tellural breed
Just like a desease
Our race increase
Just like a noctural dream
We'll fade away one day
Oh father tell me why
The last flower died in my hands
For castles in the air
They burned down the ground
And a hand full of dust
For my life
Hark! To our mothers scolding
Discord is the harvest of greed
Trust no pray into the emptiness
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
There's darkness everywhere in the hall of time
but a low glowing fire shines on lonly silhouettes
nigh colums of chilliads with runes of fate
scalds , bards and minstrels stare into the flames
Their lonly voices soar into the silence
like a glint into the feeble light
some runes start to shine in silvery letters
forgotten stories of ruins and ne`er ending blight:
Far away from now in sunken times
a fair young maiden followed the wind
a will - o`- the - wisp led her astray
into a vale of bleakness and grief
Thousands of men - struck the marching tune
so they died and she greets seeding tears
and waiting for harvest
Far away from now in sunken times
a travelling lad followed an old path
his thoughts stray constantly to the sky
where elfs and wyverns fly
his colleen by his side with so bright eyes
shillelagh won`t ever fly again
Far away from now in sunken times
an old bard sung with the wind
the trees on an old path told him
of a place his thoughts still long for
A hall of ancient wisdom and lore
in the eclipse of abandoned time:
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Time changes
while we forge our fate
passing the gates
We set fire
betrayed our past
in the Illusion that nothing will last
[Chorus...]
See, the night is alight
with our stateless flames
we killed our gods
buried their names
Thousands of years
filled up our lore
while we`re marching through
the gates of nevermore
A heir to the crown roams all alone
the blade of enlightment banished the shades
lost in a maze, in a dreamless embrace
oblivion - the tomb of our three fates
All glittering wonders are finally shrouded
lying wasted under a brocken spell
our gods at the sky only fire and rock
all beauty must die - wecome to hell
[Chorus]
7. Serenade To A Dream
[Music by Suidakra]
[Music by Suidakra, Lyrics by Uwe S.]
Emperious Mountains
breathing pure frost
Icewinds in pale crowns
woodays into the...
Melancolic realms
cradle of soulless horde
Howling in league with them
a pact sealed wirh...
Nocturnal ways - don`t dare to follow
Carnal prey on untrodden path...
[Lead: Arkadius]
Eye to eye
surrounded by fear
Enduring their breath
eternal is the dark...
Swirling black
shapes in the unlight
Unfold empyrium
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Another dry mornin'
A summon song awakes
The tribe of the dragon
So desolate...
He lurks on the hill with outstretched wings
Watching for every false step
The dragon tribe... Delusion of delight
The little ones look up
Dazed of the might
The envy in their eyes
See the all - mighty flight
Grab a slice darkness
When time is ripe
The envy in their eyes
To heal the state of dimness
I cast the blame
To the burden of life
It's perpetuation - all the same
To unfold the splendour
And within the stain
To replicate myself
I succeed to fail
Lies and chains
Are a part of the machine
Perception changes
To fall apart from me
Like a hydra in a maze
Decisions are doomed to fail
Demented and depraved
I bite our own trail
Our tellural ground - infested
Even disease - lay wasted
No place for wonders - insatiate
Child of fire - kin of fate
Now swallow the light
Oblivion has the clearest conscience
Take all your fright
No prophet of doom
For a world in decline
Separate my will from my dead
No legend of fate
For the flight of time
But a lost horizon beneath my feet
I am here but absent
A mask behind my face
Time passes by
Leaving faint and hollow days
At strife with my fate
I try to roll my stone
Up to a mount of higher gains
Where's the void
I'm spinning around
Fate itself amounts it all
To the same thing
Lost in the toils of life
Content and depraved
Another phantom rises
To fill the void with lies
I can hear the voices gather
A roundelay of decadence
Increase to battle cries
Lost in a void of lies
And darkness rises
In the end of all craving
There's no golden age
For misery and hope severs a thin line
That strives for the unknown truth and lie combines
To reveal the final cost
Rise to fall again
Bound in changes
The burden of life
Is to curse the ages unborn
Born to plough
A lonely furrow
There's no ground
I'm forced to be bound
Might and darkness
Mourning in silence
Careworn souls
Are falling through time
Blind and mindless
Longing for guidance
Careworn souls
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
In a time of forgotten realms and whilom truth
Noble kings and valiant men
In a land where shades lurked in the dark
Where at night tales began to rouse
Ir was the dawn of the thousand fires
When he stepped into the night
Swearing to face all dusmay
To dare the ancient mights
Enthralled by a flickering glint
That allured him to follow
To a place where the realms entwine
A gate to the other side (adistant light)
Faint singing called him to step inside
His eyes strayed aloft
Willing to go towards his fate
A last look to the sky
When he passed the gate
For ever and ay (for a year and a day)
A wanderer lost in nowhere
Never found a place to dwell
Withersoever he fared
Twilight shapes begged him to stay
But the glinting stars
Drowned all leathe
[Music by Arkadius, Marcel, Lars & Lyric by Marcel]
[Arthur:]
I am the boar
I took the head of bran
Which kept the land so secure
So hunt the godless
Heathen host
And dignity improves our valor
Rise all you honest warriors
Close the lines - fight with one hand
Life is short and memories`ll last
Fate itself cast us into war
Years and tears of war have passed
Camelot grew out of blood
Truth and virtue reign side by side
The night passed into light
But not in my mind...
[Medrawt:]
I am the shadow of discord
The void of lust
Unaware begot in sin
The nameless lord of distrust
The shades`ll grow stronger
Tainting all your joyful minds
A coward creeping enemy
Silently strikes you blind
Arthur:
Dark Lord of Orkney, scourge of lot
My song of doom is also thine
Caliburn`s my strength, Gwynhwyvar my shield
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
I heard it from the coldest gale
perpetually the kingdoms fail
I tried to smile on this rebirth
Oh purile sons of mother earth
Shining pikes on a foggy brae
the morning dew waits to shroud
each tear in their bloody eyes
when the foe of the land dies
Clarion pipes , proudly marching men
thousands hum to the battle drum
(Forward ! For the king and the crown !)
A legend for each men who falls to the ground
for each standing one a low lullaby
desperation wields the sword , under a gonfalon of fear
a glimpse of glorious days shine in a widowed tear
I`ve been called to fight for my royalty
for my king at his right hand
be a matter to my country
I spill my blood out on this land
And if I should die in this battle
it`s a noble thing I do
And if I should be a hero
then I will return to you
The grace gave me my kingdom
my only royalty
now to raise my sword against
a lord to protect my family
So I'll fight for them tomorrow
march in the name of Tara
to see their children - parished
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Tireless I faced my way
The flames still burned
To see the stars and dales
My heart still yearned for
Surrounded by bleakness
Osseous trees seemen to
Seize the silence
A plain of ruins
winds of dust tried to enshroud
All Remembrance
A doleful figure cowered
At the heart of this wasted lands
his bowed head a mere skull
the yield of dust in his hands
" I dwell beyond all fear
and here in my liefeless claw
shall grow your given seed
the everlasting flaw "
On the ground of his eyes I
saw a child drowned in fear
In the deep he beheld the airy play
Of those who can fly while
fear turned into hate
Woe betide him and his tainted eyes
Seeds of despair won`t grow with tears of dust
So I left this wilted man and his vale of woe
[Music by Arkadius, Marcel; Lyric by Marcel]
[Arthur:]
Still the giants dance
at salisbury plain
Still my spirit wanders
to reach this higher aim
Straight to foreign shores of distance
we call the gods
for a quest of truth and wisdom
As long as you see the giants dance
My spirit wanders through the land
[Gwalchmei:]
Led by the strength of bran
and the timeless kings of Avalon
The four winds of the land
I will strive for the caldron
[Bedwyr:]
Led by the swiftness of winds
I will wander through the farest glens
My sentence is my deed
Is there a view of sense unknown?
[Arthur:]
Craving for some armament to outlast
this cold royal path
I can hear them call
The king must fall
Strayed by the four winds
Over the land and far away
through the dark and cold
Hear my song of grief
but there`s a tune that gone astray
while the world grow old
[Menw:]
Each tone that ever met the wind
finally reaches Math and so me
sight and breathless I am
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Sudden the morn came
Slowly the curtain rose
Awe shone in his eyes
Another light was born to rove
With pinions of sorrow
On winds of despair
The beast appeared
Some say it would never go away
With eyes of morrow
On stars of guidance
He faced all fright
His way a neverending night
So he defied the lively waves
Betrayed himself
And the restless hieing winds
Strong is the blade of hatred
The desire of our desperate hope
The serpent of grief
Feeds virtue to it`s sateless breed
High aloft the dragon flies
The falcon has gone astray
So nigh but also far away
A cry above - the wyvern dies
Blind eyes have broken the oath
So far away but also close
The awaited even came
Slowly the curtain fell
Awe shone in his eyes
Another light still yearns to dwell
His eyes full of sorrow
And wounds of despair
Bled immortal dreams
Whispering of days of yore
The guise in the mirror
No more stars to guide
It`s the beast he feared
Now he knew it would never go away
So he defied the eternal rock
Buried himself
Into the everlasting flame
Strong is the blade of hatred
The desire of our desperate hope
The serpant of grief
Feeds virtue to it`s sateless breed
High aloft the dragon flies
The falcon has gone astray
So nigh but also far away
A cry above - the wyvern dies
Blind eyes have broken the oath
As storm-clouds gather
Above the glades
A thunder deafens my howl
Of anguish and dismay
Remaining here
In this sinister tomb
I recall the evil deeds
That led me to this place
Bresal Bó-Díbad was my name
As druid I was praised and famed
From all four corners of Erin
People came to seek my aid
For in those days of gloom and death,
A murrain fell upon the kine
And killed all cattle in the land
So into the ancient mound I went
To pray and seek advice from elder gods
And beg them for their help
But from out of the dark
Thousands of voices answered my command
Reaping knowledge from my tortured brain
The demon horde devised a wicked plan
To weave a spell so the sun would never set
They abused my sister's magical skills
And forged a day that would not end
In honour of the elder gods
Upon the ancient mound
A massive tower would be built
On sacred ground
For in those days of gloom and death,
A murrain fell upon the kine
And killed all cattle in the land
Bresal Bó-Díbad was my name
As druid I was feared, obeyed
I tricked the people to vow an oath
To work for me for but one day
As storm-clouds gather
Above the glades
A thunder deafens my howl
Of anguish and dismay
Remaining here
In this sinister tomb
I recall the evil deeds
That led me to this place
Overtaken by lust and fury
A terrible deed was done that broke the spell
The men of Erin went on their way
When the day had gone and night suddenly fell
Now storm-clouds gather
Above the glades
"Dubhadh"
Stone of power, stone of light
The stone at Dowth will end this fight
I'll bury the book for ages to come
Beneath the stone of the seven suns
Once I lay on a battlefield in pain,
I cried out in hate and Biróg came
The seeds of vengeance had been sown
With Biróg's help I unleashed the Fomor
Led by Balor, their evil lord
Fomorian hordes rushed ashore
Their war-horns calling to attack
To crush the Dé Danann and claim the land
That day the plains were drenched in blood
The people slaughtered, the children dead
The Fomorian horde swept over the land
Their weapons of carnage reaping the men
Stone of power, stone of light
The stone at Dowth will end this fight
I'll bury the book for ages to come
Beneath the stone of the seven suns
Vengeance no longer rules my soul
The proud Dé Danann remain proud no more
At the side of the oppressed I've ever belonged
The Fomorian scourge must be destroyed
Blinded by hatred, heartbreak and dismay
I condemned the Dé Danann to a terrible fate
No longer shall this horror prevail
Tonight I'll end the Fomorian reign
Stone of power, stone of light
The stone at Dowth will end this fight
Their evil souls shall be unbound
Forever trapped beneath the mound
At Moytirra they shall fight in vain
Their mortal bodies can now be slain
Beneath the everlasting stone
[Music by Arkadius, Marcel; Lyric by Marcel]
[A nameless warrior:]
So long he is gone
With a pale servile face
His way led him through
A cold bloody haze
His yell pierced the cold ghastly morning
As he raised his sword to fight evil
So like millions before
He died in his gore
And those who survived
Died in their minds
For those who failed to care
Were dead before
Who loves his sword even loves war
Four children he left behind
With a mournin`mother
All their dreams return nevermore
Their world got lost - killed in war
There on the field, with dew on his eyes
His empty face stared up to the sky
One final breath curses his foes
Blessed by the blind
For their conscience won't collide
With cruelty of sanity
And the prophetic signs
In the book of life
For the threat of fortune
Is to lose it all
In the arms of Morpheus
Close your eyes - never awake
Stand in line for your chance
Do you see the signs for the fallen
It's a human bane
The highest tribute to advance
For the threat of fortune
Is to lose it all
A cannon thunder
Cracks in the air
Widows weep for
The fallen ones
War and plunder
Becomes the legal force
Of a new age
To set a sign for freedom
War and failed words
Entwine in inhumanity
No blood stains my hand
But the land is covered
With broken trust
And impaled enemies
No hordes from hell
But lurking madness
The army of the damned
Under the sign of kindness
Here is your golden age
With high aims and twisted words
Forming a new dimension
Beyond right and wrong
Blessed be the blind
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
See the winter is coming
Falling leaves dance to a silent tune
I`ll take their hands I`ll make them stand
When they`re all alone
Years passed and the dawn of light
Spread through time to leave tales behind
The Queen of witches
Gathered the wisdom
For a year and a day
Gwion takes care of the cauldron
The spell is broken
Flown into the youth
They`re hunting and chasing
Through the hills and braes
The queen of witches
swallowed the young lad
So in year and a day
Taliesin the wise rose from the dead
[Chorus:]
Praise the one who breaks the circle
The one who dyes all grey away
Laud the army of dwarves and elves
Companions for the final day
Now see the man in legends veiled
A wise, a brave, of fortune hailed
Now hear the man and his flaming rhyme
Divinely anthems for glorious times
The king of mortal
And the source of wisdom
For a year and a day
Taliesin`s the guard of the cauldron
[Chorus]
5. To Rest in Silence
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Fear his words
creating worlds
for now and ever a living memory
Holding the crown
he reigns all alone
one man, one will but no destiny
Straight through the memories of woe
into the fields of buried glee
here the wilting dreams below
source and ending of this story
Fall down to your knees to adore the lie
Fill the power and right to reign in violence
time and failure have sharpened our mind
disarmed and voicless it finally has to rest in silence
Hear the tales of thousands and one death
of revange and wreath
see the veils which cover our mind
silently making us blind
Silentium est aurum
step back to where it once began
silentium est aurum
the adornment in our requiem
So die in lies...
He`s creeping through the dephts of living
holding out until the end
no remorse and no forgiving
I'm back again
With wounds still fresh
Though lacking blood
I'll walk, I'll reign this
World again
I'm back once more
With no fear but the scar
Of a craven arrow
Your years are mine:
A brotherly alliance involves countless things
Sometimes even the treason and the tragedy
Your eyes still mirror
The same thought of ignorance
That's why I'm here
And what I bring to you
Is just a bitter consequence
That was called for
By the voice of deceit
A slight wind calls
For a thunderstorm
Called from within
The hands of betrayal lead by a sightless eye
Causing a clash of spaces and times
Bow and arrow - a unit torn apart
Forcing asunder spirit, body and heart
No sharp eye sees through bone
Better break it up to know that is inside
Crack it up and stare inside
To detect, to understand
And feel what is behind it all
Causes that lie behind
In the end
With no fear but the scar
Of a broken arrow
These years were mine:
For I resolved a higher wish
The sweetest consequence
That one is to draw
And one has to bear
Like two sides
Of shadows and glows
Call for the twilight
The last that ever she saw him,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
He passed on worried and warning,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night,
Far away on the other side.
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through.
The trees that whisper in the evening,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun,
Far away on the other side.
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through.
[ Chorus ]
I stay, I pray
See you in heaven far away.
I stay, I pray
See you in heaven one day.
Four a.m. in the morning,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
I watched your vision forming,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Star was light in a silvery night,
Far away on the other side.
Will you come to terms with me this night,
But she couldn't find how to push through.
[ Chorus ]
I stay, I pray
See you in heaven far away.
I stay, I pray
See you in heaven one day.
Far away on the other side.
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five.
The night was heavy and the air was alive,
But she couldn't find how to push through.
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Their ancient souls have fought in vain
Now death and glory lead their way
The bloody plain of pillars crossed
To the west they will set sail
Forever young and strong,
Forever free from earthly law,
Without grief and sorrow,
In Mag Mell they´ll remain
The demons within are now without
With roars of triumph they move out
Into the realm of eternal bliss
To the otherworld where they shall live
Their evil ways will wither and decay
Vanished from memory, without a trace
Without sorrow nor pain,
To "Tobar Segais"
Yet where the stream of knowledge flows
A sixth salmon will swim forth
No longer will they live a lie
Their human guise will fade, fade and die
Forever young and strong,
Forever free from earthly law,
Without grief and sorrow,
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Countless seemed to be the days
Until his return
Ceaseless semmed to be his way
But still the thousand fires burn
So he beheld one day
His long - desired journeys end
Still the singing called him to stay
Oh, it was the place where it all began
Strange eyes looked up
As he stepped into the light
All friends were gone ( he`s still alone )
Betrayed by the course of time ( He`s lost in time )
"From afar I come - in place ans in time
I saw the strongholds of the old ones
Once I sat here by a fire
My heart in flames but now they`re waned and gone"
Calm spread out it`s wings and his hoar voice
Pierced the night and the light inside of them
Deep were his words, the songs to sang
And long his story to tell
But each a word would be carved deep in their minds
Now the alst words are said
And slowly dawns a new day
The guise of the wise fades away
Aye, they should remind the words
And the things they saw
When the truth dies
The end draws near
And all will fall
When the truth dies
The race of men
Has come and gone
A twisted race of ancient evil,
Wicked and depraved
A race of demons
From beneath the waves
No longer lies in wait
Enslaving, Conquering, destroying,
Laying waste to the lands
Now that the book is opened
The last Nemedian's spell is broken
The last Nemedian druid's spell
That erased them from earth's memory well
The last Nemedian druid's spell
That bound them in his book of black
Our time has come!
The race of man has come and gone,
Has run it's course
The sun's declining into dusk
Nocturnal chants proclaim remorse
Enslaving, Conquering, destroying,
Fury Fomoraigh
When the truth dies
The end draws near
And all will fall
When the truth dies
The race of men
Has come and gone
Just look into my burning eyes
And see what they have seen
In the past and in the future
Behold this dark horrific dream
Now that the book is opened
The last Nemedian's spell is broken
The last Nemedian druid's spell
That bound them in his book of black
A twisted race of ancient evil,
Wicked and depraved
A race of demons from beneath the waves
No longer lies in wait
The myriad futures will unfold
A nightmare of fomorian hordes
When the truth dies
The end draws near
And all will fall
When the truth dies
The race of men
Has come and gone
And the truth dies
The end is here
The fairy mound of darkness
The hidden shrine unbound
In the name of science
The book of black was found
Beneath the stone of seven suns
Unveiling that which lies beyond
The reach of eyes, the reach of ears,
What we wish to be and become
The book of Dowth is calling
It beckons me to look inside
The book of Dowth is yearning
To sow it's seed into my mind
A secret spring of unknown tales
Of heroes, queens and ancient lore
Of knowledge passed on
From stars to stones
The deed is done
Blackened pages
Wither before my gaze
A black fog rises
Evoking memories from distant times
I see history unfold
Dark shadows reach out and scar my mind
The book of Dowth is calling
It beckons me to look inside
The book of Dowth is yearning
To sow it's seed into my mind
My soul spirals into a darkness
Deeper and blacker
Than any I have ever known
Beyond my inner limit
Beyond the secrets of the stones
The deed is done
Blackened pages
Wither before my gaze
A black fog rises
Evoking memories from distant times
I see history unfold
Dark shadows reach out and scar my mind
The book of Dowth is calling
It beckons me to look inside
The book of Dowth is yearning
To sow it's seed into my mind
I see the serpent's return to Erin
Cenn cruach, the lord of the mound
I see the distant future
Ravens screaming over blood
Excavation, desecration,
Lebor Dubhadh unbound
True belief in fiction
Dominate the weak
Free to choose the way of death
Fall on your knees and creep
Die with no remorse
Blind to different views
For all your reasons
To die for and to kill
Ain't strong enough
To be in a lifetime fulfilled
Paralysed and broken
Cries out of the dust
Out of new-born ruins
Shrouded under pain and tears
Crown the lost
Enthrone the dead
Run in circles
Through the curse of revenge
Do you see that matters change?
If there's a god - out there
A cause of chaos - and beauty
If we stand face to grace - naked and bare
Like a beast of pain and cruelty
If there's a higher state - anywhere
I am the ground:
What is a tree without roots
No more than a thought without any doubts
True belief in fiction
Dominate the weak
Free to choose the way of death
One last breath for the divinity
Die with no remorse
Blind to different views
If there's a way to seek
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
Oh, How well I remember the day
Encircled by trees I was
Grabbing Boughs and whispering fays
Forced to walk on their elfin pathways
Until they led me to a fount at last
I watched into the starlit water
And the lights began to whirl around
Weird eyes glared at me
My mind sabk into the fount
Dark it was there on the ground
But bright and graceful was the light
Of the dancing water sprites
Mute voices sang their songs profound
Tunes frail as their wavy guise
Enswathed me like a silken shine
A glance on the flight of time
To distant realms and stars
Low laid the land of mine
And their everlasting scars
In the deepest depth there was
fire and source entwined
In days of yore and before
It burned and flowed in our mind
With eyes on the wings of time
I saw the flames increase
The fount fell down into lethe
And within the silken shine
Again I heard the singing fays
Through the mist of time There is no believe
Frail is the Pathway of dreams
For all is drowned in chants of lethe
Aye, I will remember the day
Encircled by Trees I was
Grabbing Boughs and whispering fays
Forced to walk on their elfin path ways
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
For thousand aeons
abiding the time
so silent and mute
the wind murmurs a tale
The wise of yore
evoked the spirits
to see the arcanum
but ay they failed
A witness of wyverns
elfs and sylvan glory
a petrified story of
... ancient realms
[Lead: Arkadius]
Thy mind of stone
a secret that accelerates
The tides of time
awaken by moonlight
when a bard reminds a tale
A fresh gale defeats my enchanted mind
farewell to my delight
but when the moon rises again
in my dreams , I will fight
Oh can you see the dancing shadows ?
the fairy - ring right there behind the trees ?
close your eyes ...
4. And another cist looms
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
[Lead: Arkadius]
So I reel away to a vale
of cists in front of me
endless buried names of forlorn games
wilting I fall to the ground
unable to reach the gate
the stones on which he lain all knew his name
Fare you well my mother
I shall search your flames
in the four winds of the land
Fare you well my dear son
Never forget the end
I awake by moonlight
under a lorn tree
a forgotten might
forces me to the sea
By a lonly seashore
a fair young naiad beholds me
the spray whispers my name
I laud her embrace , my wild young sea
So In desperate longing I take my path
unable to turn around
a forgotten might lames my will
But in my dreams I can hear her voice
a flame in the dark
a forgotten might makes me chill
By a lonly tree
a fair maiden beholds me
Eyes of soil , a sylvan goddess
her beauty lames my forlorn heart
silently the stones whisper a name
I laud her embrace like a fuddled bard
So In desperate...
By a bleak ghastly champaign
a gibbous moon illuminates
staring eyes in the wind
burning like infernal blazes
I will never laud her cold embrace
