Dowth 2059 The fairy mound of darkness The hidden shrine unbound In the name of science The book of black was found Beneath the stone of seven suns Unveiling that which lies beyond The reach of eyes, the reach of ears, What we wish to be and become The book of Dowth is calling It beckons me to look inside The book of Dowth is yearning To sow its seed into my mind A secret spring of unknown tales Of heroes, queens and ancient lore Of knowledge passed on From stars to stones The deed is done Blackened pages Wither before my gaze A black fog rises Evoking memories from distant times I see history unfold Dark shadows reach out and scar my mind The book of Dowth is calling It beckons me to look inside The book of Dowth is yearning To sow its seed into my mind My soul spirals into a darkness Deeper and blacker Than any I have ever known Beyond my inner limit Beyond the secrets of the stones The deed is done Blackened pages Wither before my gaze A black fog rises Evoking memories from distant times I see history unfold Dark shadows reach out and scar my mind The book of Dowth is calling It beckons me to look inside The book of Dowth is yearning To sow its seed into my mind I see the serpent’s return to Erin Cenn cruach, the lord of the mound I see the distant future Ravens screaming over blood Excavation, desecration, Lebor Dubhadh unbound Dowth 2059

Towards an empty land we sailed Nemed, our father, led the way Towards the home of the brave and free Towards our isle of destiny We raised two forts and cleared twelve plains We worked the land and claimed our place Four lakes burst up out of the ground We sacrificed on sacred mounds But gods envy the delights of men! A terrible evil swarmed ashore And with them came disease and war Their runed flesh was foul and black In battle their two kings were met Three thousand Nemedians fell that day A pillar of stone was raised for each man slain Three thousand pillars on the plain Nemed himself soon died of plague Two thirds of all we had, they claimed One last assault on Conand’s tower One final attempt to end the terror Through mists of time Sound bloody chimes Of clashing shields Of arrows soaring Of battle-horns And stones roaring Score sixty thousand fought that day Conand and his heirs were slain The Fomorian tower of strength lay waste More pillars on the plains were raised Yet Morc returned from across the waves Countless demons retaliate On rhythms of rage he wrote our fate Thirty Nemedians survived that day In utter defeat we sailed away Leaving behind our sacred ground Where naught of us remained… But battle-pillars on the plains

Watch, watch, the dark book is yearning Look now, Fomorians are crying Days filled with peril are waiting I’ll bury the book with my druid Watch, watch, your people are fleeing Go now, your race is defeated Days filled with peril are waiting Or stay here and love me, brave druid Once your allegiance is given Your life-force forever shall feed me But while you refuse my seduction Your servant till death I must be Watch, watch, the demons are reigning Look now, Fomorians are feasting Days filled with hate are waiting I’ll help you take vengeance, brave druid We’ll capture their foul evil essence With dark spells we’ll put them to rest Beyond the waves their souls will be sent A black book of power we’ll craft Watch, watch, the demons are waning Look now, Fomorians are fading Days filled with bliss are waiting Without hate you’ll succumb, my brave druid Once your allegiance is given Your life-force forever shall feed me No longer do you refuse my seduction My servant till death you must be Sleep now, your strength is depleting My oath is no longer binding Die, die, your life-force is failing I’ll mourn your demise, my brave druid Watch, watch, the dark book is yearning Look now, Fomorians are crying Days filled with peril are waiting I’ll bury the book with my druid Watch, watch, the dark book is yearning Look now, Fomorians are crying Days filled with peril are waiting Stay here and love me, brave druid

Their ancient souls have fought in vain Now death and glory lead their way The bloody plain of pillars crossed To the west they will set sail Forever young and strong, Forever free from earthly law, Without grief and sorrow, In Mag Mell they´ll remain The demons within are now without With roars of triumph they move out Into the realm of eternal bliss To the otherworld where they shall live Their evil ways will wither and decay Vanished from memory, without a trace Without sorrow nor pain, To “Tobar Segais” Yet where the stream of knowledge flows A sixth salmon will swim forth No longer will they live a lie Their human guise will fade, fade and die Forever young and strong, Forever free from earthly law, Without grief and sorrow, In Mag Mell they´ll remain

As storm-clouds gather Above the glades A thunder deafens my howl Of anguish and dismay Remaining here In this sinister tomb I recall the evil deeds That led me to this place Bresal Bó-Díbad was my name As druid I was praised and famed From all four corners of Erin People came to seek my aid For in those days of gloom and death, A murrain fell upon the kine And killed all cattle in the land So into the ancient mound I went To pray and seek advice from elder gods And beg them for their help But from out of the dark Thousands of voices answered my command Reaping knowledge from my tortured brain The demon horde devised a wicked plan To weave a spell so the sun would never set They abused my sister’s magical skills And forged a day that would not end In honour of the elder gods Upon the ancient mound A massive tower would be built On sacred ground For in those days of gloom and death, A murrain fell upon the kine And killed all cattle in the land Bresal Bó-Díbad was my name As druid I was feared, obeyed I tricked the people to vow an oath To work for me for but one day As storm-clouds gather Above the glades A thunder deafens my howl Of anguish and dismay Remaining here In this sinister tomb I recall the evil deeds That led me to this place Overtaken by lust and fury A terrible deed was done that broke the spell The men of Erin went on their way When the day had gone and night suddenly fell Now storm-clouds gather Above the glades “Dubhadh” Will ever be this dark mound's name

Near the shores of Toraigh, Beneath the pounding waves In shadowed depths And dark embrace In the dark abyss Beyond the waves, Balor of the strong blows Lies in wait From shadowed depths Beyond the sea Ablaze his eye He will arise Towers of glass, Like icy blades Rise up to the skies When he’s awake Forgotten gods return to roam, Standing stones begin to shriek, When hope becomes despair, In a world full of hate and greed Balor waits no more, Dark eyes lit with exultation, A third eye opening, Hurling bolts of lightning Flesh and bone turn to ashes, Sacrificial fires burn again A thousand men slain, blood-red waves Pounding upon the shores As time is senseless, As night is endless, Reality is darkness, Existence is emptiness In shadowed depths Of the black abyss Born from dark mists And raging storms Forgotten gods return to roam, Standing stones begin to shriek, When hope becomes despair, In a world full of hate and greed The triumph of evil, When good men stay silent, Then Balor of the Evil Eye, Has arisen from death Black cloaked Balor, arisen from death Black cloaked Balor, will rule again

Stone of power, stone of light The stone at Dowth will end this fight I’ll bury the book for ages to come Beneath the stone of the seven suns Once I lay on a battlefield in pain, I cried out in hate and Biróg came The seeds of vengeance had been sown With Biróg’s help I unleashed the Fomor Led by Balor, their evil lord Fomorian hordes rushed ashore Their war-horns calling to attack To crush the Dé Danann and claim the land That day the plains were drenched in blood The people slaughtered, the children dead The Fomorian horde swept over the land Their weapons of carnage reaping the men Stone of power, stone of light The stone at Dowth will end this fight I’ll bury the book for ages to come Beneath the stone of the seven suns Vengeance no longer rules my soul The proud Dé Danann remain proud no more At the side of the oppressed I’ve ever belonged The Fomorian scourge must be destroyed Blinded by hatred, heartbreak and dismay I condemned the Dé Danann to a terrible fate No longer shall this horror prevail Tonight I’ll end the Fomorian reign Stone of power, stone of light The stone at Dowth will end this fight Their evil souls shall be unbound Forever trapped beneath the mound At Moytirra they shall fight in vain Their mortal bodies can now be slain Beneath the everlasting stone Their souls will haunt forevermore

When the truth dies The end draws near And all will fall When the truth dies The race of men Has come and gone A twisted race of ancient evil, Wicked and depraved A race of demons From beneath the waves No longer lies in wait Enslaving, Conquering, destroying, Laying waste to the lands Now that the book is opened The last Nemedian’s spell is broken The last Nemedian druid’s spell That erased them from earth’s memory well The last Nemedian druid’s spell That bound them in his book of black Our time has come! The race of man has come and gone, Has run its course The sun’s declining into dusk Nocturnal chants proclaim remorse Enslaving, Conquering, destroying, Fury Fomoraigh When the truth dies The end draws near And all will fall When the truth dies The race of men Has come and gone Just look into my burning eyes And see what they have seen In the past and in the future Behold this dark horrific dream Now that the book is opened The last Nemedian’s spell is broken The last Nemedian druid’s spell That bound them in his book of black A twisted race of ancient evil, Wicked and depraved A race of demons from beneath the waves No longer lies in wait The myriad futures will unfold A nightmare of fomorian hordes When the truth dies The end draws near And all will fall When the truth dies The race of men Has come and gone And the truth dies The end is here Fury Fomoraigh!
