you let our feet touch the ground
you lost what what we once had found
you let your feet touch the ground
our love was lost in the sound
of you gone
there’s nothing to hold on to
our love was my earth
my reason to return
will you learn at all
or will you fall?

I thought I heard the hounds
I thought I heard the hounds
I thought I heard the hounds
on the run
I thought I heard them prowl
I thought I heard them howl
I thought I heard them howl
for our blood
when I die take my bones
carve the runes when i’m no more
from the other side I sing to you
so that you will know more
I thought I heard the hounds
I thought I heard the hounds
I thought I heard the hounds
take us one by one
I thought I heard them growl
I thought I heard them growl
I thought I heard them growl
for our blood
when I die take my bones
carve the runes when i’m no more
from the other side I sing to you
so that you will know more

He woke my mind
asked me of time
the stars were alone
the sun and the moon had no home
From fire and from blood
from ashes and mud
we rose from the sea
singing songs of thee
the first war was then
between gods and the monsters in men
your deeds broke your bond
and still the heavens shone on
here you stand
with wisdom in your hand
beneath the holy tree
you give yourself to me
three times i was burned
three times reborn
i ashes now I live forever
the sun and moon my home
beneath the holy tree
you can leave this world
when it is enough that you
you have learned

oh tread lightly
you walk on the ashes of war
here I burned three times and was reborn
the truth is in the soil
and the seeds you plant
your children’s bones will hold up the shame
even when you shoulders can’t
you can’t the truth
it lives forever in the bones
your grandchildren will hear our voices
haunting your home
oh tread softly
you walk on whispers of lies
and screams of dreams gone by
oh don’t forget
not yet

i break all my ties to you
in all directions of time
all the vows I made to you
are no longer mine
i walk through the sidhe
to the other side
but without you
there is nothing
no
i see nothing
no
i feel nothing
no
i see nothing
no
oh carry me my love
with your love and tears
lift me up above
with my ashes in your hands
all my life all my vows to you
are now ashes in your hands

where will i be if i am nowhere
who will hear me if i am nowhere
nowhere
no
nowhere
i would have followed you anywhere
now I’m alone and i am nowhere
nowhere
no
nowhere
it rains in my bones
when you cry
when you’re alone
i die
i die

I will walk through the darkness
I will not be daunted
I shine my light on the chasm
my only light is within
oh i hear you call
it’s still faint
keep calling
keep saying
saying my name
keep calling
keep calling
i’ll find the place
keep calling
keep saying my name
I’ll find the place

in the blinding dawn i quake
my heart lives on after the wake
nothing that fire couldn’t burn away
and all the pain gone in blue flame
i feel your love every word you say
after the death comes a new day
your heart’s my Tír na n’Og
we’ve been in fear for to long
your heart’s my Tír na n’Og
the light of your love clears the fog

beyond the sun and moon
and on the sea
and by the strand there
grew a golden tree
the golden leaves
grew all these years
beyond the sea
now full of tears
too long i have dwelt on the other shore
in a fading crown twined with golden eleanor
but what ship would now come to me
to bear me across so wide a sea?
i sang of leaves
and leaves there grew
Of wind I sang
and the branches blew
too long i have dwelt on the other shore
in a fading crown twined with golden eleanor
but what ship would now come to me
to bear me across so wide a sea?
Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar.
Nail elyë hiryva. Namárië!

how i called for you
did you hear
did you hear
how i fought for you
through all fear
through all fear
through wars i walked to you
and you’re here
now you’re here
clouds of rain come down in my head
can i forget the names of the dead
before you i lost all my breath
i pray our love will let me forget
as the tears fell from my face i knew
i was brought here by grace and you
now i call to you
and you hear
and you hear
through wars i walked to you
i’ve no fear
i knew you’d be here

here your eyes
like honey wine
we forget the lies
leave them behind
oh my love
I sailed straight here
oh my love
on a river of your tears
oh your love
dissolves my fear
oh my love
all that matters is you’re here
i needed to be by your side
so let me drink your sweet honey wine
love pour down my lips
let your love overflow
dripping from my hips
like the rain upon our home
oh my love
i sailed straight here
oh my love
on a river of your tears
oh your love
dissolves all my fear
oh my love
all that matters is you’re here

here a field
like a mirror
the wheat flows
like water
through your hair
and every thought
shines from your mind
all is clear
and there is nothing to forgive
there’s nothing here
but a sighing breath
and a little death
it’s nothing now
there’s nothing here
but a return to earth
and a grand rebirth
you’re stardust now
you always were

Umbras de Barbagia
by Downfall of Nur
supported by 8 fans who also own “Aes Sídhe”
After listening to Ysyry Mollvün, listening to Downfall of Nur was urgent and turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made in quite some time: Umbras de Barbagia is simply magisterial; the atmosphere can hardly be compared to anything else. There is a deep, palpable connection to nature imbueing each very fibre of this record. The amalgamation of black metal and folk elements is done with a high intuition for detail and class, resulting in a highly immersive experience. Wonderful.
