Boudicca's Last Stand
We are bonded by blood, Sons of the soil beneath our feet, A tribal brotherhood of war And we know how to die well. Mighty legions of iron and steel Dashed to dust by the battles travail Famished wolves befogged with blood Our vengeance now, our funeral pyre Warrior Queen, bursting from hell Flaming eyes and the God's wrath. To die as one, free from the lash In the dark tumult of slaughter. Terror shrieks of bitter dread Druids spitting spells, Feed the crows on Roman flesh Ghosts and grinning skulls Slayers and slain as one in death In the seething mass of scourging war. Dream followers and nightmare givers Through murk and mire we ebb and flow As vipers we, in the name of Rome Let it be done As famished wolves befogged with blood Gore whetted scythe and pilum hail Ravenous dogs, slaughtering haze Killing blows quelled by groans Of fallen champion's swords in hand. We die as one, free from the lash In the dark tumult of slaughter Terror shrieks of bitter dread Slayers and slain as one in death In the seething mass of scourging war.

Golden scythe, mistletoe Hallowed oak, from sacred grove Mouldering bones, ravens fly Andraste, Queen of war! Fallen foe, yonder blaze. Hueless wraiths, banshee wails Bitter ash, the last Samhain The age of Nero is upon us! Oh, the White Goddess within me Dreamless sleep! Oh, the White Goddess that is within me. Oh, the White Goddess within me Dreamless sleep! Oh, the White Goddess that is within me. I am the dark of the moon, The cutter of threads, I am the one to whom all return, I am the stag, the wind on the lake, I am the solar priest With dread unwreathed, I am the phantom pale, And the grim embrace of clay, I am the hunger, I am the dark.

Deadliest dread and woe Hatred and despair Owl, raven and crow Blood is everywhere Druid Isle aflame Gods carved in oak Holy men are slain iron, blood and smoke Sky Gods weaving sorrow In a Celtic hinterland Sacred is the moon Clothed in deadly red The forest is our tomb White wizards dead Sky Gods weaving sorrow In a Celtic hinterland The dreadful thirst of death Parched we fall The dreadful thirst of death Parched we fall Lost ancient ones Under leaf, log and stone Magic cosmic dance Never more to roam The dreadful thirst of death Parched we fall The dreadful thirst of death Parched we fall Sky Gods weaving sorrow In a Celtic hinterland

Howl and writhe, Where many glooms abide Die forlorn, Where guts are opened wide Ashen hew, There's nowhere left to hide Pagan wrath, Where no one can survive Sallow grey, On raven wings we ride Hellish gore, Iron and bone collide Tombless slain. Conquer and divide Wretched tears, Rome we have defied British Gods, Gods of evermore Condatis Hear the forest roar Taranis Craving blood and war Avernus Above the eagle soars Camulus A feast of guts and gore Bellunos Binding oaths we swore Cernunnos Cometh the dragons claw Andraste On spines we all shall gnaw Bonded by blood We shall die to the last

Kill, devouring flames Kill, death's dominions Kill, crowned with gore Kill, skinned alive Kill, festering hatred Kill, at the end of a rope Kill, wolves of Avalon Kill, sweet bitter end Kill, Pagan holocaust Kill, life ebbs away Kill, we fade to nothing Kill, this is the end Kill, there's no turning back Kill, dark-mist shrouds Kill, reek of spite Kill, in a ring of stones

Am I to die a death of shame Forlorn in dark miasma To die a death of blood and flame Cut down by euthanasia Chanting shaman battle cries Oaths of vengeful ire Druid fiery baleful eyes Like soulless pits afire Under this, desolate night Our blood chilled with fear Riding from the nether gloom Death is ever near In frenzied battle slayers fall In a hideous sullen dance Plunging soulless dogs to hell Cut by sword and lance Battle Queen on burning pyre How grim a life abhorred, Her croaking throes fade to dust Her dignity restored Grim Queen of terrors We summon you, Take our Queen Into forests dim And the gloomy hue of time. Shimmering shrouds Of pallid clay Before my eyes I see Frost unsharpened Gates of grey Where tears are ice And flow no more.

Sorrow stricken Writhing in her grave In this world of lies Close her weary eyes Spitting sorrow From the cup of war In a blinding rage With a deadly hate Iceni Queen unfurl'd In a tempest of crows Deep in the underworld, 'Til the world falls dead Iceni Queen unfurl'd In a tempest of crows Deep in the underworld You never had a chance Just a dead woman walking My battle Queen There's no use crying Over what could have been To die un-avenged We all die alone Drinking poison Iceni Queen unfurl'd In a tempest of crows Deep in the underworld, 'Til the world falls dead Iceni Queen unfurl'd In a tempest of crows Deep in the underworld

Thrice, ten thousand men lying Of cold, of thirst, And hunger dying, In dread pits of idol clay Where flesh submits to foul decay, Like madmen howling, In dark blood crawling, Foemen, strangers, Thickly clustering, In drifts of smoke, Silently suffering, I follow the dreams, That seek the grave As I walk The moonless fens of a darkling day.

Quenching the Roman hunger The bloated worms are here, To gorge upon our children And the dunghill to our fears The dreamless sleep of death And the frozen hand of Nero In misty trails of blood As never seen before Embraced, With death's disrobing hands Our thirsting souls We sacrifice As cold as mouldering clay Our remains will become Shadows of time To drink from sorrow's chalice The dregs of malignant hate We walk on broken eagles At the foot of death's black gates Ahead the dark red smoke Behind untrodden snow This battle will be fought And no one will ever know In memory we will descend In awe-creating guise Will anyone ever recall The lost great British tribes

The question is this By will alone Does my heart carry the strength To see you burn? When I do not wish to part To see them farewell Does my heart carry the strength To leave you behind? The eternal search for purity A fragile hope for the just and fair Order feeds from the corpses All beauty must die Where is the essence In beast or scripture? Where lies the laws In stars or temples? I cannot see myself Not your orbit I cannot see the others Not your eyes It lasts forever when you let it go Purity and Pain Where is the essence In beast or scripture? Where lies the laws In stars or temples? I cannot see myself Not your orbit I cannot see the others Not your eyes If I told you I'd get you through I'd have to let you fall down Not because of malice You needed to And I'll remember What we had It lasts forever when you let it go Purity and Pain
