about

What a journey this song has been. The instrumental was created during a period of severe writers block for lyrics. So the duty of lyric writing was outsourced to a terrific facebook group (yes, they do exist) known as 'The Folk Metal Grove'. A terrific response was received and in just the span of 48 hours the song was worded and completed. Debuted on the Metal Devastation show: Beards & Broadswords, this is the latest single from the upcoming album 'Reborn in Darkness'. And as the epicness of their efforts was formidable, the credit for the theme & lyrics of 'No Regrets' goes to the following, very good people for their contributions:

Chad Lower
Justin Bruce
Greg Dale
Stephanie Falk
Nolan Nernberg
Metallic Joe Cp
Tiago Costa
Dee Homer
Christopher Beams

lyrics

3000 years have past,
these empty plains so vast,
they call me home
to the lands that we once roamed.
the ancient hillsides cry,
and make my spirit fly,
back through space and time
to the lands that once were mine

Brothers are gone from battles past,
wounds still aching, home is in sight
I walk down the roads, forgotten by time
to return to my shire, in the greenest hills
the deeds of my life lay plain as I pass the ruins along the withered path
as night falls, my forefathers spirits will watch my steps from velvet skies

‘twas always my pleasure to serve your treasure

And lo’ I hear the bagpipes,
face down in the heather
no regrets,
no time left

Slain in the glorious fight,
Morrigan calls me
No time left
and no regrets

I’ve travelled these lands, far and near
in search of the tavern with best of beer
with the mead and wine and ale we scored
with battle hardened folk.
Within these strangest of days,
through an honorless, forsaken maze,
we cherish the wisdom and years of our elders campfire tales

some of us count the moments 'til end
some of us hope for the world to mend
perhaps it's time for our return into the ways of old.
my arms like branches reach to the skies,
my limbs take root in the earthen dirt
and i rejoice in the tree of life's splendid embrace.

shouts ring through the fog
out on the moors in this day
my fortune realized in
the company i've made
and as the setting sunlight colors
clouds across the sky
i find my way back to my home.

‘twas always my pleasure to serve your treasure

And lo’ I hear the bagpipes,
face down in the heather
no regrets,
no time left

Slain in the glorious fight,
Morrigan calls me
No time left
and no regrets
