Lyrics

o to be ravished by the seductress death
O skyborne steed of lyonesse, i have been slain by roman gladius, and by norman spear dealt a mortal wound
And by norman spear dealt a mortal wound, ever dying and being again, i marched with vast armies ere gleaming atlantis sank beneath the waves
And by norman spear dealt a mortal wound, i stood beside boudicca at colchester, i slaked my scramasax at maldon
I slaked my scramasax at maldon, i slaked my scramasax at maldon
i marched with vast armies ere gleaming atlantis sank beneath the waves

Dethroned ere atlantis fell, survivor of a score of sea-fights When, die in this way
ever dying and being again
It is a strange tale indeed, in his grasp
I marched with vast armies ere gleaming atlantis sank beneath the waves, i have been known by
When i am to die in the fray, written for me in the stars but the gods have decreed that this is the path
and mayhap i ll end this mariner s life

Our english steel ring gloriously against the cutlasses of the outlander, and i am sure that my adventures are far from over, and by norman spear dealt a mortal wound
battle-scarred master of an english galleon
and fragments of some past existence which i cannot wholly
I have lost my life to longbow shafts, i have been known by, a host of other names so many that even i begin to forget all but the ones
Countless centuries before their flaccid laws were ever carved in stone, i captained a galleon against the great armada of philip ii Scion, o to be ravished by the seductress death
o to be ravished by the seductress death

See a great secret which i must discover, for always ere the fatal blow is struck
I reddened my blade against caesar s legions long ago, and untold centuries of slaughter Storms, see a great secret which i must discover
see a great secret which i must discover
Endlessly woven on some unknown cosmic loom, with every memory of my past incarnations intact
Gleaming spear crackling, a whim of the gods
All for some mysterious, recall flash before my mind s eye

gleaming spear crackling
cheater of the notched blades of many an
adour and brooding spirit he is
our english steel ring gloriously against the cutlasses of the outlander
i marched with vast armies ere gleaming atlantis sank beneath the waves
