I'll see you in my dreams...
lyrics
Coming through the molten night
those whispers at the gate
at graven tree I ‘wait the call
its shadows cast so long
Only dark will see us now
in our sleep we burn like fire
peeled back layers of broken time
crushed skins with such desire
Only dark will see us now
in this sleep we watch the fire
burning almost everything
leaving just this stubborn flower
Above it all I feel no thing
a calmness and an ennui
yet beating still consumes in me
t’is the purest synchronicity
Only dark will see us now
here I cannot stop the fire
Only dark can see us now
no one will ever stop this fire
Morning so blue, uncloaks my world....
Calling through the molten night
I heard you at the gate
we could have burned all before
our power so old and long…

This has been staple listening for me since I first got the CD in 2006. Raw but not to the extent that it is unlistenable, the riffs are heavy and memorable, with each song having it's own identity.
Wartooth's vocals are certainly a highlight of Bretwaldas' sound. Rough and gritty, in the best way, as he snarls out lyrics about Dark Ages warriors, heathenism and nature. If you can imagine if Lemmy was a Brummie and sang on an early Black Sabbath album then you're getting somewhere near the sound of this Midlands duo.
This album is class from beginning to end but if I was to have to choose highlights I'd go for album opener The Haunted Ride, Iron Skies (a song of two gloriously different halves) and Beneath the Eaves. The latter appeared on a CD with Zero Tolerance magazine way back and was the undisputed stand out track on there. Grimslath
