lyrics

Long before your wretched birth
Existed a time of 'warriors'
Nomads of Wisdom and Heritage
The famines they endured
Hardships were suffered
Plagued and starving
Houses were burnt
Woman and children slain
But they also fought!
They stood for something more
Than a mere will to exist!

The blood shed was immense!
But brave they were
They romanticized freedom
For a more simple way of life

Tears were shed for land
For home
For country
None of the nonsense of today
Survival was most important
Roots were remembered
They were honored
In the way of tribute


Reminiscent is the days of old
The days of those who have fallen
Our ancestors had no ill will
Have purchased free spirit with their bloodshed

The past is here, it is still now
The fires burn, it strikes in the center of passion
Wrongfully spited for sake of power and pride
To arms of the call, will not flee the land

Praise of those forgotten shall now rise once again
Their hardships and struggle for a life so unruly
The pain will transcend on through end of times
So young the journey of all whom bravely passed

Across a sea of souls from perished lands
Thy dead will be released and set free

The ceremonial cries for thy dead be praised
Tears are strong for the ways of old, and times of past

Try to take our pride they will, but we know we are true
Can take all yet have taken none, no glory
To acquire the riches of these lustful lands
Those will justify a means to take away all sacred

They fought as fearless as they know with ever vigorous strength and glory
Restless souls barter on forever, nothing forgotten or known no sacrifice to be haste

They will not be afraid for what lies before
With what eternity will have forsaken them
It will no longer be their own to claim
Once innocent, enticing, rich, unexplored lands

The past is here, it is still now
The fires burn, it strikes in the center of passion
Wrongfully spited for sake of power and pride
To arms of the call, will not flee the land

Reminiscent is the days of old
The days of those who have fallen
Our ancestors had no ill will
Have purchased free spirit with their bloodshed

Praise of those forgotten shall now rise once again
Their hardships and struggle for a life so unruly
The pain will transcend on through end of times
So young the journey of all whom bravely passed

Across a sea of souls from perished lands
Thy dead will be released and set free
The ceremonial cries for thy dead be praised
Tears are strong for the ways of old, and times of past

Drysmian, which means "to become gloomy or dismal" in Old English takes its influences and inspirations from life, hate, sorrow, and natural surroundings. To translate true feelings from within into sounds and words. A tribute to the past. ... more
