(roughly 100 A.D. through to around 500 A.D) it mentions samhain feasts (a feast to honour the dead, happens anually) Herne (the hunter god of briton religion) and various other traits of paganistic religion What got me to love Cradle of Filth | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/19/08 When i was watching a movie i hear the opening piano cause my sister had her labtop open and this band playing and i was so in love with the lyrics and beat that i was bugging her to put it on my i pod. song | Reviewer: darknymphett | 7/24/08 i love this song, and i researched some of the names and terms to get a better idea of what it's about R'lyeh: a sunken city located deep under the Pacific Ocean where the godlike being Cthulhu is buried. appeared in the story, "The Call of Cthulhu" by H.P Lovecraft Abydos: one of the most ancient cities of Upper Egypt. "The hill of the symbol or reliquary" in which the sacred head of Osiris was preserved. Thessaly: Greek city, appears in Homer's Odyssey. Herne: in English mythology, Herne the Hunter is an equestrian ghost associated with Windsor Forest and Great Park in the English county of Berkshire Brigantia: a Celtic goddess Imbolg: one of the four principal festivals of the Irish calendar, celebrated among Gaelic peoples and some other Celtic cultures either at the beginning of February or at the first local signs of Spring. Bealtaine: the Gaelic name for either the month of May or the festival that takes place on the first day of May. Lughnasadh: a Gaelic holiday traditionally associated with the first of August. Samhain: the word for November in the Gaelic languages. also a festival marking the end of the summer season and the end of the harvest. Leonine: of, characteristic of, or like a lion (probably having to do with the symbol of englad being a lion) Meaning | Reviewer: Arokk | 4/7/08 Herne is an Anglo-Celtic god of the hunt. The song is about a return to the glory days of Pagan England. It has nothing to do with beheadings or the like. If you are going to spout about something, do your research...or at least read the lyrics. Meaning | Reviewer: Darren | 11/14/07 Its a lamentful song about the medieval days of England. The persona wants England to return to the days of witch hunts, mysticism and beheadings. "This is a waking for England From it’s reticent doze This is a waking for England Lest hope and glory are regarded as foes" Herne was a ghost (similar to the headless horseman) that was rumoured to inhabit the medieval forests of Windsor. In essence? Dani thinks present England sucks and beheadings are good. English Fire | Reviewer: Angela Paranoia | 8/22/07 "For I yearn to return To woodland ferns Where Herne and his wild huntress lay" That part explains how he longs to come back to England. The vocabulary is very medieval. Err. It was a pretty vague description what I just said. But it's pretty blunt. yeah | Reviewer: Mulysa | 7/20/07 good question. everyone who explained it is right though, it's about a man returning to england whenever it was in turmoil to see a woman I'm sure. Aw well, very good song though cheers to Dani Filth and another amazing work of art. I think that the song is about: | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/1/07 a man who is returning to england in a time of turmoil. i think that the song is about... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/31/07 it is a poetic song about england in the middle ages, when monsters were feared and wars were made without thought. It is about carnage and slaugther. WTF IS is about? Ask danny filth. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2
