Testament
First Post
Here's a couple of potential picks from an Irish metal band that I've come to absolutely love known as Primordial. The second one in particular makes me think of an ancient druid who's declared war on civilisation. They're kind of long so I've /sblocked them.
The Golden Spiral, from The Gathering Wilderness
[sblock]One day I stood with my back to the wind
And the rain fell down
Raised my fist to the cobalt sky
And called to the Gods
....Where are you?
I stood in the stream with cold clear water
Rushing around me
Cold stone underfoot
And called again to the Gods
...Where are you?
I sat in the forest clearing
Surrounded by wood and leaf
A Raven watched my every move
I could feel my heartbeat thundering
...Deep within my veins
I set foot on foreign land
Held my brothers and sisters to me
And saw the same questions in them
Yet when I clasped their hands
I felt their blood beneath mine
...I had found my answer[/sblock]
The Gathering Wilderness, from The Gathering Wilderness
[sblock]You say you know me
I am the poison in your veins
My faith is not welcome here
I break the young and the (b)old
There is a Darkness here
You cannot imagine
You cannot fathom
It speaks to me in tongues
Can you hear it?
I've built my tower of song
With words of bitter, splintered bone
All gnarled and wretched, spiteful and harsh
I curse the vermin, the vermin of the earth
I wish pestilence upon the foul and weak
Not just the men, but women and children too
With a rusted blade across their throats
I've played the tyrants hand
Against the rhyme and reason of fools
I've prayed for sickly, sickly children
In their black, their blackened cities of filth
You say you know me, but do you?
For I am the poison in your veins
And my faith is not welcome here
[spoken]There is a darkness here
You cannot imagine, you cannot fathom
It speaks to me in tongues
..The wilderness is gathering all its children in[/sblock]
