about

This song is about a Celtic priest and a mystical mountain god

lyrics

Far in the south of Noricum
in darkness hidden lies the stone heart of the dragon
Deep in the mountain

Deep in the mountain
In a stronghold of stone
It was our shrine it was our sanctuary
And I the high priest of that mountain
...the high priest of that mountain

I was banished when traditions faded
I was banished after Roman friendships had been closed

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS IN WHICH I HAVE WANDERED,
THROUGHOUT COLD NORTHERN LANDS
-ME, THE EXILE, -
I REMEMBER THE HEART OF THE MOUNTAIN GOD
WHO KEEPS WATCH OVER MY COUNTRY

Always our land’s spirits speak to us
Ghosts’ voices urge us never to forget the lord of the mountain
the dragon in the darkness
However I´m banished and people begin to forget
Their ancestors’ faith and follow the way to Rome

Now I am looking to the light out of darkness
And I remember my beloved village
At the top of the mountain

...Now I am looking to the light out of darkness
