lyrics

There was a place cloaked by the mountains,
Dark by name,
Obsidian shining in the cool,

Where he would lay his head for a time,
Upon that eldritch steep,
Eyes mirrored in the blackest pool,

She said awake and your one true love you will find,
Then through the mist appeared,
A lone figure of sylphlike light,
And he was drawn to her,

Wait in the silence of the mountains,
Of an evening for his true love to show,
There comes a day she will forsake him,
Stricken three times with no cause now she fades,

He made an offer of bread three times,
Then took her for his wife,
She bore sons for him thrice,

And she will act through them,
To lessen the pains of man,
A gift of Annwn,

He is the silence of the mountains,
Every evening for his true love won't show,
There came the day she did forsake him,
Ever-gazing at the lake she called home.

At the foundation of this project would be the preservation and exposure of traditional folk music, but presented through the modern medium of metal and rock. ... more
