lyrics
A chariot, men and horses, ride two by two
Sétanta hound of Ulster drives his foes through Airu
Single combat or with a nation, his long spear it gleams
In a spasm his sinews like reeds in a stream
At seven he'd slain Chulainn's hound with a stone
Took his place and begged make the King's arms his own
Who took arms that day would have eternal fame
A life cut short; his soul become flame
Chorus
My terror and fury will drive them all through the glen
I'll build a wall with the corpses of horses and men
Sucking an eye back into my skull so deep
The other eye: it dangles along my cheek
The cattle raid of Cuaille men of Connacht he'd smote
Killing all on his lone in The Táin Bó was wrote
Queen Medb had invaded to steal Donn Cúailnge
For months the fords of Cuaille heard Cú Chulainn's steel clang
He lie on the ground dying from his wounds
Naught could save him, Druid Magic, nor mystic runes
Healing his son, Lugh the god
Chulainn's hound burst forth in a vengeful riastrad
Chorus
Nechtan Scéne boasts of the Ulsters he'd slain
His three sons join the nether when he enters the foray
Gone into frenzy, his own land he goes to raze
Friend or foe standing before him; his wrath goes uncontained
The women bare their breasts, averting his gaze
Wrestling into barrels boiling water with his rage
Sent to the Fort of Shadows, Isle of Skye
Denied the Lady Emen
He bids his land goodbye
His enemies conspired in Cú Chulainn’s defeat
Breaking the geasa, he feasts the dogs meat
Lugaid armed with three spears to fling
Slaying Láeg, Liaith Macha, The Hound, all three Kings
Even in death, his foes watched in dread
When a raven mounts his shoulders, Lugaid takes his head
The hero's light fades
His sword arm did swing
On his final journey
Lugaid's right hand he would bring
If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse
IMHO, one of those albums that catches your attention immediately, but needs a few listens to really appreciate how great it is. Getting addicted guys, really! sachavonkarl74
So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
