These shores have seen rise and fall of kings
Like the rise and fall of the tide
They have been here long before I was born
And they’ll be here when I die
From the German coastline to the Albion isle
From the tideland to white cliffs high
These shores have been here before I was born
And beneath them I will lie
From the clouded days of Doggerland
They have seen it rise and fall
Before the first man set his foot on land
Northern waves have been standing tall
These shores have seen rise and fall of kings
Like the rise and fall of the tide
They have been here long before I was born
And they’ll be here when I die
Bury me in the northern sea
Once more salt and storm shall be with me
Once more cold water will caress my hand
Before it takes me in like an old friend
Master of every land
Ruling by watery hand
Whatever we build
Can be destroyed
Waves of Storegga
Atlantis sank into your void
Stormbound drifting
Towards my return to the end
Flesh and spirit
Left to dissolve as I descend
One last moment above
A final ray of light meets my eye
My final guide
On my journey below
One last breath, then I go
I, I will become one with ebb and flow
Bring me to the sea, and then let me go
Will you bury me in the northern sea?
Bring me to these shores, then let go of me
I, I will become one with ebb and flow
Forsaking the shore
Into the unknown
I sink yet I soar
Redemption waits below
The waves eternal
Bury me in the northern sea
Once more salt and storm shall be with me
Once more cold water will caress my hand
Before it takes me in like an old friend
One of the albums that influenced us the most, probably even the very core of our sound. Should be in every well-sorted Epic Metal collection! Servants To The Tide
Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival. BoneWalker
