Witnere - "Cernunnos" (video)

From out of the bog
Cernunnos the horned god rises
And in his domain
He bids a body to sleep

The druid casts the stones
Over young and old
To choose the lord of death’s
Yearly feast

Cernunnos, the horned one
The master of the dying
Almighty, all knowing
I give my life so I may see

Across the mire
The villagers slowly gather
The chosen steps out
The honoured sacrifice

Drink from the cup
Eat from the bowl
The one with the horns
Requires your soul

Cernunnos, the horned one
The master of the dying
Almighty, all knowing
I give my life so I may see

Life, death, honoured rebirth
Sacrifice, return to the earth
Life, death, sink to the depths
Sacrifice, Cernunnos accepts

The mire stretches out
As far as I see
The horned god calls out
For my soul to be free
The rope grips my neck
As I fall to my knees
I cut my own throat
And enter eternity

Cernunnos, the horned one
The master of the dying
Almighty, all knowing
I give my life so I may see

Προ τριετίας δύο μέλη του glam metal συγκροτήματος Mystress (ο κιθαρίστας Dec Doyle και ο drummer Jase Tyler) αποφάσισαν να δημιουργήσουν μία μπάντα με πιο heavy προσέγγιση και στίχους εμπνευσμένους από την τοπική τους ιστορία / μυθολογία. Κι εγένετο Witnere (σημαίνει βασανιστής στην αρχαΐζουσα Αγγλική γλώσσα). Το 2015 κυκλοφόρησε το ep "Clandestine Tales", πέρυσι το single "The Runes", ενώ φέτος το δισκογραφικό "χτύπημα" είναι διπλό καθώς τον περασμένο Ιανουάριο κυκλοφόρησαν τον δίσκο "The Doom of Almand" και στις αρχές Οκτωβρίου το ep "Rites of Passage"...
