Lyrics to In The Land Of Ghosts [Full Album 2023] by Olde Throne

Tracklist: 01. 00:00 House Of Dun Oh pale lady, Of the house called Dun Woeful spirit Who walks alone In cold damp earth Her bones remain A restless soul Absent of name Oh lost harpist Of stolen song In the cold of night Hear his great harp cry To those who hear These songs of woe Be not with fear Soon he shall go You’re never alone Within these walls In darkness they roam This house is their home Beware the horseman Who roams these roads The vengeful spirit Of the House of Dun 02. 07:17 Skara Brae Upon the shores Of the ancient world Beyond the ring In the land of ghosts The old ones call through time Under silver stars I hear them call From lands of myth and kingdoms of stone For five thousand years they called this home From times forgotten And lands untamed From a bygone world Their souls remain By the stones I wait To hear the old ones speak Hear the wise ones call From an ancient world See the stars Which they too have seen Hear their voices And heed the call For someday soon They’ll call you home 03. 12:36 Isobel In the square They build a pyre Blackened smoke Starts to rise Two hundred thousand women Sentenced to death For the crime of being sentient Doomed by evil men Isobel Queen of witches Your fire burns Beneath the moon Black sermons in the kirk Speaking with the spirits From human body she transformed Murdering the men of God Of these crimes she did confess And she was never seen again From the mercy of our god We sentence you to death For the saviour of mankind We burn you at the stake Two hundred thousand women Raped and put to death For fear of magical masses In the kingdom of God 04. 19:37 Cliffs Of Culzean Beneath these walls Down in the caves Be ghosts and ghouls Who haunt Culzean The piper plays To prove this false On sea swept shore In the howling wind He makes his way Into the caves And the caves soon echo With the piper’s song But as the night falls And the mist comes rolling in The piper’s song Begins to fade And through the years His song still plays From the ground below On Piper’s Brae 05. 25:46 The Curse Of Alloa Tower The alleged curse of Alloa Tower placed upon John Erskine, the 17th Earl of Mar, as read by the Abbot of Cambuskenneth: "Proud Chief o' Mar, thou shalt be raised still higher, until thou sittest in the palace the palace of the king. Thou shalt rule and destroy, and thy work shall be after thy name... Thy work shall be cursed and shall never be finished.... Then, when thou seemest to be highest, when thy power is mightiest, then shall come thy fall; low shall be thy head amongst the noblest of the people. Deep shall be thy moans among the children of dool. Thy lands shall be given unto the stranger, and thy titles shall lie among the dead... Thou, proud head and daggered hand, must dree thy weird, until horses be stabled in thy hall, and a weaver shall throw his shuttle in thy chamber of state..." 06. 27:07 Duntulm Duntulm, A ruin, Above the sea, On crumbling cliff Hugh MacDonald, Of dark ambition, Cast to the cells, Starved to death From the depths below, Hear his wails and groans, In his dungeon tomb, Where he met his doom Nursemaid, Of forgotten name, Did you know your fate, When you dropped that bairn Two lives lost, From that grave mistake, Hear their hallowed cries, Through the castle wind 07. 31:50 Greyfriars Kirkyard Oh, Greyfriars, Where the Covenanters lay, Ceased by the black judge, Cut down by his hand, A dream of freedom, To practice what they please, Doomed by the wicked, Condemned to brutal fate And there he lies, In the black mausoleum, Awoken by a man, In need of shelter, An unhinged evil, Released upon this earth, Cold black spirit, That vengeful entity of hate Darkness looms, Upon Greyfriars, A man turned demon, An evil unchained An untold sorrow, Haunts this place, Their lives were lived, While awaiting death A place where hope, Has never shined, They are not gone, They never died 08. 38:38 Killiecrankie Upon the great pass Down in the weeping glen The battle stays and soldiers remain We had our chance, for victory or death We charged forth, and saw the soldiers leap And they fell Among the dead And every year the battle plays Over and over again We fight And history won’t know, But the wind will remember my name 09. 43:40 An Torr [bonus] Out from the cold, Welcomed into our home, We saw that they were fed, But soon we would be dead Cold, the wind in the pine, Cast out with nowhere to go, The heart of the earth's turned stone, There's blood in the River Coe Put all to the sword Out from the night, We offered our homestead, Some fled through the snow, While some, cut down in their beds, * "Cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe, And covers the grave O' Donald, Cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe, And murdered the house O' MacDonald"
