LYRICS

Oh so many battles
Have unfolded before us
In the sun, in the mist,
In the moors standing
We live through times and times
And witness all of all kind
From the mountains or the sea
History is engraved in our skin
Gods have risen from our ranks
And blood has sanctified us Stones
A ship landing, and a battle to come,
Well be blessed by sounds of rage

Time slow down, History come
With hammer, burin and poetry,
None to discuss, but rise their swords
Those from the Land, those from the Sea
Allez camarades, tirez sur les rames!
Nous allons brûler leurs terres
Et violer leurs femmes,
Allez mes frêres, tirez sur les rames!
Détruire leurs sanctuaires
Et prendre leurs âmes

riff reminds me tetris theme. sorry. :'D

sadly, i'm not into growling etc. :( i would love the song, the style if were less or no growling. eh. ruins what i liked before. i adore heol telwen's instrumental parts but... :'(((

[DuhInnegurat]

@FritzPowa Try their song 'Etre Douae Mor', maybe that's more to your liking

[AMoonlitNight]

Gaels are Scottish/Irish/Manx

Brythonic is Breton, Cornish and Welsh.

And this sounds very Brythonic but has a lot of French influence in it, doesn't even sound remotely close to anything Irish.

But we're all Celts

[SuicietyBoozer]

Gals and Irish maybe have same roots...

[NBeasl095]

this is just too damn epic

[NBeasl095]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwsome!!!

[flameboy44]

@AMoonlitNight yeah but there is no french influence, because all traditionnal music from France, at least in the west comes from gaulish ancestry. Change the instrument into a flute, and believe me, it'll sound Irish.

this hurts my head....=/

@BlackFolkAndPiano thanks for the info

[gabflyinzombie]

The right title must be "KAN AR GERN"! This band doesn't know breton language...

[BlackFolkAndPiano]

@ccatdaddy64 it's normal that bombard flute is not known in U.S..

irish people have emigrated to U.S. bringing with them their instruments, while the breton kelts did not.. moreover the breton music is way less known in the world than the irish or scottish music.. the only world-known breton musician is Alan Stivell, and the breton instruments as bombard or biniou are unknown to most. here in Europe it's easier to get in contact with the celtic tradition.. sometimes Breton bands tour also Italy

[ccatdaddy64]

@BlackFolkAndPiano I guessing you really know your stuff. It seems the Bombard Flute is little known to most, at least here in the U.S. it seems. When I did a Google search, it took a while to actually come up with it. BTW, I would have assumed it was Bagpipes, although it dose sound quite different, I figured it was a different type than what I normally hear.
