xdemiansmithx I recently travelled to Germany, by car, travelling through Ireland, Wales, England, Holland and Germany. All in all a ten hour trip one way, easily. I had this Album with me, no other album. I listened to it over and over and over again and after my return to Ireland - another ten hours or so later - I still absolutely love this album. It has the highest play count of my library and I can't recommend this enough 🖤 Favorite track: Red Wine and Candlelight.

The Wolf and the Hound A tree lined avenue And the trail of a red dress Is all I remember Of a once sacred place Where winds blow hard Through pines so tall And stand like ghosts In your place when you fall When it came crashing down Just like you said And silence cannot replace The voices in your head Like statues we stand Against the wind Against the rain And when our hearts lie still They'll remember our names Will the ides pull us down In the time of the wolf And the hound Take time to look for Traces of the past And feel the wonder In the things that cannot last Between these lines Are words like a knife Can you see them Cut through the perfect darkness Of her mind Could a word save you If cut in stone Could your footsteps lead you back Where old fire burn We'll be chasing the moon down With old tired hearts We are just flesh and bone Condemned from the start Believe the words we put down In the time of the wolf And the hound Old fires burn Leaves falling Wolves running Books burning Ink flowing Hearts beating Souls mourning Lives ending Old fires burn

Ad Astra 07:51
Ad Astra With those eyes You could rule the world Suck us into those whirlpools With you You watched their dreams Be pulled asunder It doesn't matter Because they're going underneath The ground Do you dare To cast the circle Or be the prey To the vulture Above you We set a course For the stars Left our lives of bolts and bars So far behind us To the stars Bolts and bars Ad astra per aspera Laborare est orare

What Have We Done? The howling winds Sing your requiem The sea washed me in And now the tides Want me back again You are the song That drives men To their graves Bathe in white light Safe from decay What have we done The moon before the sun Whats done cannot be undone And our time will come You know so much About the things We all crave You hurt so much Deep inside Lies the blame Walk with me black whisper Burn with me in rapture We'll never forget When our time comes What have we done?

The skies parted They came from sea Caves and mountaintop The black hearted A coven strong Old as stone They are the wicked The ones who cast Shadows in your dreams These are the stories They told so long ago So long ago The witches sabbath Is tonight Its the sabbath Faithfully departed Who's souls are lost to lies You are forgotten As the years go by But they live forever No enemy to time Unholy beauty in their eyes In their eyes Its the sabbath Tonight!

Hold On 08:55
There is a light behind you You can never change the past You are the reason For the lies they tell You don't want to be the last Hold on Hold on For so long You have no mercy for sadness You leave a trail of death behind You tore apart our city streets What did you hope to find Hold On Hold on For so long Hold on You see the lights fade When the red road leads us home My friends Together forever soon.

Rambling House Rambling with Katie (Poitin) Danced with the fairies The small green king The moonshines in Rambling House

She is the sun on the horizon And I am the night The moon is colour of ragged bone She likes red wine and candlelight She likes red wine In the dead of the night My red wine The world is a cold and a lonely place Where no road leads you home You search the crowd for a friendly face She likes red wine and candlelight She likes red wine In the dead of the night My red wine.
9.
Fate has come to steal your dreams She knows the secrets that You tried to conceal Bleeding heart Bleed for me All I ever wanted Is someone understands us Stare right through me And follow a bleeding heart Follow a bleeding heart Time will tell where we're going to A road straight to hell I'll see you there Bleeding heart Bleed for me All I ever wanted Is someone understands us Stare right though me And follow a bleeding ... The ocean doesn't want you Back again The sky is falling in on you Once again You'll see all about it We're back again The ocean - it doesn't want you Back again.

Burn Me Down 04:41
Skin and bone and broken teeth Line the streets Of the city that I built for you A bad road led me to this town Where the ghosts tried to burn me down Burn me down Thieves and liars Cheats and murder too My world next door to you If our paths cross and you see me around I'm too strong now for you to burn me down Burn me down
11.
We came down from the mountain And we crossed the sea Many miles between us And friends we'd never seen People of the meadow My people and me People of the meadow A sweet memory Borders on the road Caged heart, free soul You can't lock up our minds Smoke is rising, we're by your side People of the meadow My people and me.
12.
These Backstage Hotel blues All good things must end But we are here now That's good enough my friend My friends With my friends Twenty flights of stairs A window river bend Laughing but I'm sad Why does this have to end? Golden fields Fly past like the years We're flying like the years We'll do it all again No palace in a rage Angelo is dead A camel on the stage I got no sleep Border bread is sweet
13.
The Eleventh Hour As the eleventh hour closed in She faced the night Alone. And she felt it On her skin, So many times Before. These memories are like Burnt bridges to your past No more Reaching back too far We'll chase the night Before Our hearts slow down Turn life around We'll chase the night Once more When the night Is on the wing And makes us all Her own The road's the Only holy thing Left in this world For us When rain comes down Turn the clock around The rain comes down Time was never on our side But we kept our heads above the water The wolf was always at the door But we tried to always pay on time We can't turn back the clock But we can hold onto each other We'll fall ten million times But we'll rise on each others shoulders My friend I am by your side We will face this world together.
