Deadwater Fell

from The Skirl of the Tyne by Dinenthal

/

lyrics

Sýðtinan (South Tyne)

From out of the deep of Cross Fell
And beyond the land of Healfdene
The high hill by two rivers
The watch on high

Crossed by Rome’s stone arch
So far from the Fell’s source
Washed the feet of the Gaul
Our lore charts its course

Sacrifices to Saturn and Jupiter
Never left the invaders dry
Their stone scar across our land
Two thousands years under our sky

Past ruined monoliths
The liquid serpent coils
Wind erodes the myths
The swollen river boils

Shattered isles desperately sought
A barren waste where crops will fail
Winds howl through the ruined fort
Midwinter’s moon hangs so pale

Herlaþing

Gathering storm upon a black sky
Shapes move upon the dark moor
Fear seeds in the watch on high
Lightning shadows chase the spoor

The eyes of Woden’s steed blaze red
Shadows move between the flashes
Lightning masks the screams of the dying
Rain washes away the blood of the dead

The hunt moves through the Sycamore Gap
Wind and ice rain howl into the dark
Souls scream in terror, blades in their back
A curse upon the vile, Woden leaves his mark

The hunted never escape
Chased to the ends of time
Marked men accept their fate
The rest of us are just blind

Rivers fall from the sky
Forks of light split the night
Desolate souls eternal cry
Prey must pray for their lives



Risen from the depths of the Deadwater Burn
Through blood-soaked fields, her flow doth turn
Dark waters lie silent in the forests of the north
A welt of stars reflect the chaos that does burn

Scours through Northumbrian forest
’Neath boughs of spruce and Norway pine
Roots intertwine under needled soil
A vein of water as ancient as time

Thistles and roses
Star spattered boughs
The Hermit’s well
A under a sky of crows

Borders and forests
A liquid serpent turns
Ancient glacial vales
Dark pools and burns
