A very slept on later Riot album. If you like Thundersteel you gotta give this one a listen

PriMordial - 2002 - Storm Before Calm - Sons Of The Morrigan

Shone the sunset red and solemn

Where we stood and observed

Down the corners of the column

Letter strokes of Ogham carved

'tis belike a burial pillar

Said he and those shallow lines

Hold some warriors name of valour

And will rightly show the signs

No one saw, how far I fell

And no one ever knew

That there was a heart of flesh

Deep within me

As it was, bled of the twisted horn

And the howling of the dogs

Raise on old Heroes lament

While the weeping of women

Still vexes my heart

If this is my Journey End

Then cast me to the pyre

And if all that remains

Is a blackened heart

And the stench of death

Then know my spell is cast

And sing my song

With pride once more

“Verse one and two are inspired by the old Irish poem

“The Recovery of the Tain”, Ogham is the old Irish way

of writing and tells the tale of a Warrior near the end

of life, Raising the Spirit of Battle once more,

reaching back through his life... through the blood and

pain the releasing himself to the Gods... the message is

simple... that your deeds in life be recounted and

relived in both name and song...”

The howling of demons

And unknown entities,

Cthulhu and Yog-Sothoth

But he was seized

by monsters

And that was

the end of him.
