of all the trees that grow so fair
old England to adorn
greater are none beneath the sun
than oak and ash and thorn (Rudyard Kipling)
we walk from their womb to agartha
with merriment and many broken bones
well find there a maiden and a vessel of the purest white stone
the path is not a paved one
but a river of black blood
slick is the current of her flow
and it doth gush out from that cup
soldiers criminals and outlaws
barefoot and bright-flamed we hunt for the grail (we noblemen of the ruins)
sword dancing chivalric merry men
apollonian; ever holymen slowly then
we gather, we fall, we hear the call
and ride out towards elfland forever
the blood of troy will course through
our english hearts
and burn with the brightness of the dying stars
DYING STARS
A towering record, with the finest Werendia track to date. Folkvandringen II is a breathtaking song, and that energy isn't lost across this entire album. baboonsandmoons
Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album! QQBeastMode
