The ravens are on the wing!My scramasax is red (stained with the blood of many Mercian warriors), The ravens are on the wing, By Offa's decree I am an outlaw, Branded wolfshead by my own king. (The orm-garth awaits me, darkly astir with ophidian malice...)The ravens are on the wing!Ash for our spear-hafts, Yew for our bow-staves, Oak for our deck planks, Oak and elder our shields.Hail, o' great liege of the ancient woods, ruler of the deepest forest... you, who were reigning o'er your time-veiled kingdom centuries before the arrogant men who proclaim themselves kings of this island ever supped of life's bitter-sweet draught...I give you my hail, I give you my blood, I give you my life, O' sylvan liege.My life bleeds forth unto the earth (from many deep and dire wounds), To slake your roots, great old king... (as I rest my battle-ravaged body against thee.)The ravens are on the wing!Ten leagues ride on lathered steed, Gold in hand to a sword-for-hire, A blood-eagle carved by Saxon steel, And two score slain earns royal ire.Gwynned lies two days westwards, Still further south, the weregeld calls. Mayhap with All-Father Woden's favour, My deeds may yet inspire the skalds.Litha's moon gleams high o'er the tallest oak, Ancient king in this sylvan court of elm, ash and yew, The wood-spirits watch from gnarled bough and bole, As I pull two Mercian shafts from my bloodied thews.The ravens are on the wing!I give you my hail, I give you my blood, I give you my life, O' sylvan liege.Beneath the oak, I rest, bone weary, Thirsting for a horn of ale or jug of mead, And yet how could a heathen man wish for any more, Than the healing balms of English trees?The ravens are on the wing!
Это интересно:Идея основания этого авангардного симфоник-блэк-проекта зародилась у Байрона Робертса еще в 1989 году. Уже было придумано и название, "Bal-Sagoth", но претворить планы в жизнь тогда не удалось. Дело сдвинулось с мертвой точки лишь в 1993-м, когда Байрон познакомился с Крисом и Джонни Модлингами. Братья играли именно так, как и хотелось Робертсу, и в июле того же года было объявлено о рождении... продолжение
