Seems we are to live our final days
Far from the dwellings of men
As flowing tides and shifting sands
Far from the bitter gaze of soul less man
In sorrow we fly from our loved ones
To die in the waters of the wild
My brethren can seek no shelter beneath these wings
Until dead men rise from their graves
How sad it is for me to see
My fathers fallen halls
Here once prideful men clashed as Gods
With veins aflame and hearts of thunder
Yet my fathers are long since dead and gone
And I with heart so heavy
And limbs so weary
It seems our sun is all but dimmed
And we your children have
Wandered for years
And felt the cruel blast of freezing winds
But the harshest blow of all to come...
To return at last to an empty home
"Adapted and altered from the Irish folklore tale
Of the Children of Lir, turned to swans and condemned
To roam for 300 years before returning home...to an empty
Home. An interesting spine for an allegorical tale. One of
Displacement, disenchantment and alienation...from this world
And it's ways. Longing for another Age...
Another time, another place..."
Primordial is an Irish band of black metal with folk and Celtic influences, formed in Skerries, County Fingal, in 1987. Considered one of the most important bands in the European black metal scene, Primordial have built a unique sound that blends the intensity of black metal with traditional Irish melodies and lyrics often inspired by Irish mythology and history. Their musical journey is marked by a constant sonic evolution, moving from more raw and primitive sounds on their early albums to a more mature and complex sound in later years. Among their most representative songs are "The Gathering Fields", "As Rome Burns" and "Empire Falls". Primordial have collaborated with artists such as Ulver and Agalloch, contributing to the definition of the evolution of European black metal.
