lyrics
Dawn’s first rays
Creep over the eastern peaks
The black horizon
Stirs with foreign shapes
The drowsing guard
Springs from his torpid state
Night’s curtain lifts
To reveal his certain fate
The archers on the eastern wall
Draw their bows with shaking hands
Their foes create a fearsome sight
Rolling through the dusty vale
They wonder at the horrid tales
Shared by ale and candlelight
Too late to flee and spare themselves
Trapped in this brutal place
The arrows rain down on Kraal’s men
Here and there they twist and fall
They spread their ranks and break in two
Keeping up their manic pace
The frontal force raise their shields
Above their heads to lend protection
And forge a path directly
To the fortress walls
The nimbler of the western flank
Scale the walls and fight one handed
Clinging to the parapets
Encroaching like a rising fog
They break into the clerics’ wing
Spreading panic and confusion
The slower of the chancellors
Are slaughtered at the abacus
The ancient oak
Groans and creaks
With each strike
Of the iron ram
Once it makes its puncture
The raiders force their entrance
Like water under pressure
Through the wounded gate
Through the great hall, empty
To the inner sanctum
Up the spiral staircase, winding
To Lord Uthur‘s vacant suite
The coin-chest is wide open
Cleared of its riches
The linen is immaculate
And his riding clothes are gone!
“Where are you now?
Reveal yourself!
And meet your fate
Where are you now?”
Creep over the eastern peaks
The black horizon
Stirs with foreign shapes
The drowsing guard
Springs from his torpid state
Night’s curtain lifts
To reveal his certain fate
The archers on the eastern wall
Draw their bows with shaking hands
Their foes create a fearsome sight
Rolling through the dusty vale
They wonder at the horrid tales
Shared by ale and candlelight
Too late to flee and spare themselves
Trapped in this brutal place
The arrows rain down on Kraal’s men
Here and there they twist and fall
They spread their ranks and break in two
Keeping up their manic pace
The frontal force raise their shields
Above their heads to lend protection
And forge a path directly
To the fortress walls
The nimbler of the western flank
Scale the walls and fight one handed
Clinging to the parapets
Encroaching like a rising fog
They break into the clerics’ wing
Spreading panic and confusion
The slower of the chancellors
Are slaughtered at the abacus
The ancient oak
Groans and creaks
With each strike
Of the iron ram
Once it makes its puncture
The raiders force their entrance
Like water under pressure
Through the wounded gate
Through the great hall, empty
To the inner sanctum
Up the spiral staircase, winding
To Lord Uthur‘s vacant suite
The coin-chest is wide open
Cleared of its riches
The linen is immaculate
And his riding clothes are gone!
“Where are you now?
Reveal yourself!
And meet your fate
Where are you now?”

about
Roundtable Melbourne, Australia
A tripartite union of true riff believers; fellow travellers wending their path through the cosmic ether. Transcending mere Iommic ritual, they wield might and beauty alike in pursuit of the mastery of lysergic liturgy. From the raw material of riff, rhythm and bellow, the lore of alternate realms is realised in extended compositions that explore the possibilities and limitations of their craft. ... more
