(Morning Star/EP/1of 2)
(Indie, Folk, Pagan, Rock, Traditional)
Lyrics:
Don't sleep tonight, beautiful darkness rise
thoughts a racing mind, contemplate no compromise
Venus tantalise, sweet love fantasise ...

See the morning star see the light bringer
be now who you are Ave Lucifer..

Arise a steady hand, misgivings dissipation
a dawn of liberation freedom of the will
bliss to be followed progression Sol Invictus

See the morning star see the light bringer
be now who you are Ave Lucifer..
See the morning star see the light bringer
be now what you are Ave Lucifer..

Her soft kiss tranquilise sedated by her beauty
silence of clarity the time is now
the time is now the time is now.....

See the morning star see the light bringer
be now who you are Ave Lucifer..
See the morning star see the light bringer
be now what you are Ave Lucifer..

RadEthelWynn/Raise a Glass To Daddy
(War Child EP 2/2)
(Indie, Folk, Pagan, Rock, Traditional)
Lyrics
Value your father if he made you a man
value your father if he was there
put food on your plate and clothes on your back
gave you his wisdom showed you a lot...

Raise a glass to daddy a fine man is he
There at every turning he saw as me
he taught me and grew me helped me find my way
always brings laughter a poem and a song
always had time would have given me the world
no he never raised a hand
no he never raised a hand...

Honour your father if he made you a man
honour your father if he was there
love and respect for the man that he is
would die for his family fearless was he

Value your father if he made you a man
honour your father if he was there
its a love song to daddy thank you and all
a friend for ever here now and beyond

Raise a glass to daddy...

RadEthelWynn..

When you look back on it there are not many songs about your dads
because they have been put out of the picture so much.
There is stuff from the 18th and 17th century
etc when men had some stature
but as they have been devalued and humiliated through
comedies etc, there is nothing been churned out about them...
Lots of dads feel like they would like to have done more for their offspring
and they are on the defensive in case it is ever brought up but really
under the circumstances most of them do the best they can.
Who are we to judge?
As the Indians say “don't judge a man till you have walked a couple of
miles in his moccasins”...

riding free-hinterlands...

Fen abode-drowning in the mire
there's no honour or men with valour
the world it seems now not dear to me
emotional vines- foolish pissings
my soul laid down-love has conditions
dreams and mares misty world...

War child watch out

False judgements betrayed by brothers
decadence and filth abounds
hunger calls-pale misfortune (Hel)
wild dogs and fires burn

Battle Crows prophecy (Badb)
I shall not see a world which will be dear to me:
Summer without blossoms,
Cattle will be without milk,
Women without modesty,
Men without valour.
Conquests without a king...
Woods without mast.
Sea without produce...
False judgements of old men.
False precedents of lawyers,
Every man a betrayer.
Every son a reaver.
The son will go to the bed of his father,
The father will go to the bed of his son.
Each his brother's brother-in-law.
He will not seek any woman outside his
house...An evil time,
Son will deceive his father,
Daughter will deceive...

Voluspa

Garm bays loudly before Gnipa cave,
tears him free Fenrir and fares to battle.
The fates I fathom, yet father I see:
of the mighty gods the engulfing doom.
Brothers will battle to bloody end,
and sisters' sons their sib betray;
woe's in the world, much wantonness;
[axe-age, sword-age— sundered are shields—
wind-age, wolf-age, ere the worlds crumbles;]
will the spear of no man spare his brother.
Mímir's sons dance; the doom doth break
when blares the gleaming old Giallar-horn;
loud blows Heimdall, the horn is aloft,
in Hel's dark hall horror spreadeth.

LEE M. HOLLANDER’S 1928 TRANSLATION

Kali Yuga, in Hinduism, is the fourth and worst of the four yugas (world ages)
in a Yuga Cycle, preceded by Dvapara Yuga
and followed by the next cycle's Krita (Satya) Yuga.
It is believed to be the present age, which is full of conflict and sin.

It rides out on a sordid night
it feeds upon your mental fright
so when will we enter the fight?
dry blood on the streets flickering light

Its coming Its coming your death is coming
yeah yeah yeah its coming our death is coming
you'll be dying no more crying you'll own nothing...

Is today the debt to be paid?
blade in hand pale making steel
now you have a dog in the fight
die die its coming..

Now we fight for kith and our kin
world in shade so it begins
fight for our meals but what's mine is fine
crimson red rivers invasion and war...
Its coming..

Can you feel me? No you can't heal me...

Its coming Its coming your death is coming
yeah yeah yeah Its coming our death is coming..

One last great flash blindness to all
Its coming...

Lyrics:
Let your mind drift away, where a warm wind fills your soul
and the quiet steals the night, and the quiet steals the night
what was first will be last, and the leaves will fall again
who was there at the start, will be there come the end...

Then the morning sun bright shining gold
like mead pouring through the trees
the gift of what is fated you must ride towards (Gyfu, Peorth, Rad)
let hope and health grow strong in you
be content in each good day (J.R.R.Tolkien)
take pleasure in every meal word and song
for the lady waits for you.... (Freyja)

There is no life without death, and no death without life
when ice melts life wakes, water freezes all is silent
but a Thin Mist will rise again, once forgotten all remembered (Odin)

Lyrics

There were three men came out of the west their fortune for to try
and these three men made a solemn vow John Barleycorn must die
they ploughed they sowed they harrowed him in throwing clods upon his head
and these three men made a solemn vow John Barleycorn was dead...

They let him lie for a very long time till the rains from heaven did fall
then little Sir John sprung up his head and so amazed them all
they let him stand till the mid summer day till he grew both pale and wan
then little Sir John grew a great long beard and so became a man...

They hired men with scythes so sharp to cut him off at the knee
they bound him and tied him around the waste serving him most barbarously
they hired men with sharp pitch forks to prick him to the heart
but the drover served him worse than that for he bound him to a cart...

They rolled him around and around the field till they came unto a barn
and these three men made a solemn mow of poor John Barleycorn
they hired men with crabtree sticks to strip him skin from bone
but the miller he served him worse than that for he ground him between two stones...

Here little Sir John in the nut brown bowl and brandy in the glass
but little Sir John in the nut brown bowl proved the stronger man at last
for the huntsman he can't hunt the fox nor cheerily blow his horn
and the tinker can't mend kettle or pot without a little Barleycorn...

Traditional

John Barleycorn" is an English and Scottish folk song listed as number 164 in the Roud Folk Song Index. John Barleycorn, the song's protagonist, is a personification of barley and of the alcoholic beverages made from it: beer and whisky. In the song, he suffers indignities, attacks, and death that correspond to the various stages of barley cultivation, such as reaping and malting.

The song may have its origins in ancient English or Scottish folklore, with written evidence of the song dating it at least as far back as the Elizabethan era. The oldest versions are Scottish and include the Scots poem "Quhy Sowld Nocht Allane Honorit Be". In 1782, the Scottish poet Robert Burns published his own version of the song, which influenced subsequent versions.

Lyrics

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harp string and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow.
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning?
Or behold the flowing years from the sea returning....?

Lyrics

Listen I ask all the tribes
greater and lesser high and low
children of the Watchman offspring of Rig
the Father of the Slain wished me to declare
to all living beings ancient tales from far back in time
far back in time..... (Voluspa)

I remember giants in days of yore
they nurtured me long ago
I remember nine worlds mighty waves (Sound?)
an ash I know Wodens steed...

I heard the giant roaring from way beyond the sound (Rudolf Smek)
from a void of yawning chaos earth and sky were none
Ymir was dismembered from his flesh the land
and from his blood the ocean and his skull the sky... (V40 Grimnismal/Larrington/Edda)

The gods the met on Splendor Plain (Idavoll plain/near Asgard)
where they built altars and temples (eternaly renewing field)
they set up forges smithied precious things
played games in the meadow they were merry...

Until the Norns came and the golden age did pass
three gods went out walking an ash and elm they found
lacking fate and life force breath gave Woden
spirit gave the other and fire gave the blood line
fire gave the blood line-fire gave the blood line...

Why do you question me why do you test me
I know all about it olde one where you hid your eye
in Mimirs famous well...(v29/Larrington/Edda)

Lyrics

Tradition is a power source an ancient voice speaks loud
echoes through the ages where the gods reign high supreme
symbols and images wake what sleeps inside
Flowing with the natural law or you will be destroyed
the gods they are cruel but fair so abide by whats true
an ill wind blows the carrion have gathered but what we have we hold...

A timeless plain (Idavoll) back to our home of joy. (Gladsheim)-(Snorri)
as it was as it should be
Eternal values balanced within
transformation limitless and reaching...

Never take the path of least resistance for that is a dead mans road
for the first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself (Plato)
philosophers assembly deep within the mind (Agora)
a perennial gathering so open up the eye
Turning inwards and outwards the sacred is alive
we recognise what is needed as we reach towards the sky...

Simplistic honest nature it never lied to you
in death blood and glory and in beauty too
waxing across the night sky Mani of the moon
An eagle swallows corpses a wise one wanders wide (Fjolnir)
Thunor rips through the forest the sun she draws the seed
we worship no not ashes we preserve the mighty flame... (Gustav Mahler)

The ill wind has passed
the ocean is now calm and cool
the unknown is now known (its come to pass)
and a hall is now standing fairer than the sun
thatched with gold a shelter from the flame (Gimle) (Ragnarok/Muspellheim/Flame)
a shelter from the flame....

Culture is your friend...

An ill wind blows
the gods are cruel but fair
we follow natural law
& what we have we hold! (Thomas P Sheridan)

The Monarch is dead so tell the bees
the Queen is dead so tell the Queen

The mistress is dead but don't you go
your master will be a good master to you

The mistress of the hives has gone
but the master of the hives has come

The shaman of the bees is here
so sing the bee boy song with cheer

Come the spring the bees will fly
and come the fall the leaves will die

For the Queen is dead so tell the Queen
and a baby cries beneath the trees

The England that I do adore
is back in time through a magic door

Tis in my mind and in my soul
where song birds sing of shires green

Honey dew falls on the ground
as two swans swim away....

Lyrics

No blood shall be shed in the home of the gods
but the wolf must be bound and the gods they know this
for a source of deceit that brings chaos and greed
this was foretold in days long ago
by ones ancient wise was the doom of the gods
so a fetter was forged by the hands of the dwarves...

Twas the breath of a fish
the spittle of a bird
the beard of a woman

the roots of a mountain
the sinews of a bear
the sound of a cats footfall..

The bright one returned from those deep dark places (Skirnir)
this third fetter smooth like silk soft ribbon (Gleipnir)
but the wolf was no fool and sensed treacherous air (Fenrir)
for the gods had failed twice but would three be the charm
so a pledge would be made to continue the game
which one of the Aesir would lay hand in his bite...?

Tyr raised his right hand and into the jaw
the wolf struggled this time again and again
the fetter did not break it tightened so hard
straining and snarling as Tyr lost his hand
as the gods now all laughing the wolf he was bound
but Tyr saw no humour his oath he had held...

Hail Tyr
Tyr wise
courageous as Tyr
One handed god
Leavings of the Wolf....

see the birds on the wing and the blood on the sword

that's the deeds of those who die

so hear the raven call, for you have lost a love
flown over the mountain, blown over the sea
feel that cold and sorrow, into in the fire we go
so goodbye my friend, for this is the end...

Lyrics
taken from Anglo Saxon poem The Wanderer

Bind your feelings in fetters your far from your homeland
the earth covers your lord now, and winter is in your heart
in sadness you travel far and wide the wanderer dips his oars
icy waters troubled mind, mourns this pain alone
mindful hardships, grievous slaughter, the ruin of kinsmen your brothers
gone.. left in memory loyal ones brave comrades....

Savage ash spears have claimed them
all is fleeting all is gone
all things rest in the hands of fate
the Norns have sung their song...

Joys vanished guarded thoughts, sorrow and sleep together
hold the wanderer in their grip, no lord to swear to or die for
no forehead to kiss..now awake again sea birds bathing dark waves surge
frost snow and hail, wounds lay heavy harder
a weary heart over frozen sea, memory sweeps...searching
kinsmen and joy drifting spirits, the warriors have left the mead hall..

Where have the horses gone, what of the men
where the ring breakers, the givers of gold ?
Where is the feasting place, pleasures of the hall
the gleaming cup, the warrior, the glory of it all ?

The world it dwindles day by day and a man will not be wise
before he has weathered his share of long harsh winters
olde walls stand tugged by winds all is decay and crumbles
giants ancient work stands still for now is laid to waste
all is dark shadows of night as if it had never been
to follow the path of exile for inflexible is fate.....

I know that I hung on a wind swept tree
nine long nights given to me

nothing is given-that won't be repaid-
better not to ask-than ask for too much
fate right in front of me.....

Falling-falling fast
falling in-big black hole
falling deeper-in my soul
darkness, where the mysteries are
and secrets do unfold
falling-screaming
screaming-I grab them
take them-hold them
the mighty mighty runes...

No bread no ale-pierced by a spear
I'm learning she taught me- you will find runes
myself to myself...
word to word-deed to deed-learn them-chant them
carve them-blood them-spell songs and secrets
I began to be fruitful-I became wise
to grow and to thrive-words flowed from my mouth

Rad- Riding in the hall talk is easy
but its hard for the warrior
who sits up on a powerful steed
over miles of dirt track road...
Cen- The torch is known by its fire
its clear its bright revealing pale traces
and it burns in the hall
where nobles rest inside...
Gyfu- A gift for everyman is pride and praise
it is help and worthiness,
for every homeless man
an estate and substance
for those with nothing
Gifu is a natural ebb and flow...
Wynn- Joy is had by those who know few troubles
Wynn is known when there's no pain or sorrow
Its felt by the prosperous
and those who have a home
joy doesn't come from nothing done
all things must be won...

Lyrics- 2nd Aett
Haegl- Hail is the whitest of grains
It comes from high in the heavens
showers of wind hurl destruction down
then it turns to water...
Nyd- Need is constricting on the chest
trouble is oppressive to the heart
yet it proves a source of help and a lifeline
to those who heed its warnings...
Is- Ice is cold and very slippery
it glistens clear as glass much like gems
a floor made of frost is fair to see
but the blind man must be led...
Ger- Harvest is a joy to all men
when the gods delight the earth
to bring forth shining fruits
for the noble ones and the needy...
Iw- A Yew on the outside is rough tree
hard and firm in the earth
guardian of the flame supported by its roots
Yew is a joy on the estate...
Peord-The dice cup is always play and laughter
among bold men and warriors
who sit happily in the beer hall
for fearlessness is better than a faint heart...
Eolhx- Elk sedge has its home most often In the fen
it waxes in the water and grimly wounds
reddens with blood any man who grabs it
we all must face its danger
if we want its guard...
Sigel- The sun is joy to seafarers on the whale road
until that courser of the deep
brings them home
she's the enemy of ice sends it on its way
drawing seeds from the ground
a bringer of new day...
