Pantheon Music

Post by stonemaybe »

Here is what I can find of my current Pantheon 'theme music'! :D

Image

The band, The Horslips were a seventies Irish rock band who tried to combine 'prog rock' with Irish traditional instruments and tunes. This album has got to be the closest thing musically you will ever find to a fantasy book or game! It (apparently) tells the story thus:
The Book of Invasions (Leabhar Gabhala Eireann)

The Book of Invasions is a twelfth century chronicle of the various pre-Christian colonisations of Ireland. The race who occupied the country before our Gaelic ancestors were the Tuatha De Danann -the Peoples of the Goddess Danann. While their origins are unclear we do know that the Tuatha were a mystical race, handsome and learned, elegantly dressed, expert in every art and science and supreme masters of wizardry.

In the Mythological Cycle their place is among the traditions of Immortals. In fact the Tuatha were so magnificent their existence embarrassed scholars who, when transcribing the legends centuries later did not know whether to regard them as men, demons or fallen angels.

Bravest of all peoples their leaders were wizards first and warriors second whose victories were gained more by superior knowledge and magic than by warfare. The Agatha De Danann occupied the country and lived in relative peace from 3303 Age of the World until the coming of the Milesian warriors in 3500 Age of the World.

After their defeat at the Battle of Tailteann the Tuatha simply vanished from these islands. Tradition and popular belief has it that the Tuatha, through their esoteric powers, became the Sluagh Sidhe (The Fairy Host) and, taking their secrets and mysterious arts with them, entered an occult realm where they remain till this day.

A Celtic Symphony

In the old Ireland there were three principal categories of song, called geantrai, goltrai and suantrai—the joyous strain, the lamenting strain and the sleep strain. When Lug was proving himself expert in every art before the Tuatha hierarchy his musical contribution was an immaculate performance of the three strains.Later, after the Second Battle of Moytura, Lug and The Dagda (The Good God) pursue the Formorians who have stolen The Mighty One's harp.When the instrument is located the Dagda bids it come to him. As it flies to his hands it kills those enemies standing in its path.

Then he plays the three strains and when the opposing host are sleeping, from the magic of the suantrai, he departs safely, taking his harp with him.
(as anyone who's read Kenneth Flint on Morgan LLewellyn(?) will know Lug (Lugh) is an upstart halfblood who presents himself at the court of the Tuatha de Danann demanding recognition and acceptance, and proceeds to becoming super warrior/artist/poet, and is the Lugh in Lughnasa in the Celtic calendar)

Listening to it today, I just love the way it fits in with Pantheon 3. there are 2 tunes called daybreak and dusk (think sunrise and sunset!)

The tracklisting itself, just screams fantasy!
1st movement - Geantrai
1. Daybreak
2. March into Trouble
3. Trouble with a capital T
4. The Power and The Glory
5. The Rocks Remain
6. Dusk
7. Sword of Light
8. Dark
2nd movement - Goltrai
9. Warm Sweet Breath of Love
10. Fantasia - My Lagan Love
11. King of Morning, Queen of Day
3rd movement - Suantrai
12. Sideways to The Sun
13. Drive The Cold Winter Away
14. Ride To Hell

Here's the theme music to Pantheon bit (from 'Trouble')
High on the mountain stands a boat,
But are they gods or real folk?
Can't see the fire but we smell the smoke...
who'll take the plough, who'll be the yoke
Here's how we left Eiran after P2.... (from 'The Rocks Remain')
Precious stones, stolen thrones,
Will vanish in a day,
Golden rings, and silver rings,
Will crumble and decay,

Silks and satins and crimson velvet,
will some day fade away,
But the stones will stand,
across the land,
& love will have it's day

Change will come to everyone.....

The sun will shiver, the moon will crumble
and vanish from the sky.
But the hills remain...
And continuing on for Brid...
Sticks and stones will break your bones, and words will make you cry
Sword of Light, simply the best tune ever written! This could refer to various P2 gods :lol:
My home is such a long way away,
and I'm older than i seem,
Come along I love the goodness
I know you need my help,
Don't ask me to be your guide,
I'm a stranger here myself
'Warm Sweet Breath of Love' makes me think of Bhakti complaining to Xar...
Let me ask you this one question...
was it really such a sin
To love too much
To be closer than touch,
You know, there was no way we could win!

Oh and now I hear their voices
they're closing in
But before they make their final move,
Take me in your arms and let me feel it one more time
The warm sweet beath of love
This one is 'King of Morning, Queen of Day' and it sums up how I feel about the start of P3...
With your face to the wind,
I'm beginning to think of a new life!
And you pull tight your cloak
'Round your throat
and the wind seems to sing

Though we're both on the run from a place in the sun
and its raining
And there's strangers and dangers and darkness
we're still going to win!
So don't you cry!
And don't you fear!
Wipe away each lonely tear, if I was......
'Sideways to The Sun' harks back to P2 (or does it prophesize P3?)
We were wise, oh so wise
Not given to lies or deceit!
Juggled secrets, at our fingertips
Wore diamonds at our feet

We showed you ways
to play all ways
We said we could be friends
But when our backs were turned
You got us in the end

...

We're the laughter, in the twilight
You can hear beyond the hill
We'll stay around to watch you laugh
Destroy yourselves for fun!
But you won't see us, we've grown
Sideways to the Sun
(Crap! now I'm thinking Eztlicoatl's gonna get the Iksphikix!)

I'm not even going to quote 'Ride to Hell' because that is just about the Worldbreaker!

'Trouble with a capital T' (long after their prime :lol: !)

With your MasterHarper Suf-j, and now this, you far deserved the mantle of the domain of Music in the Second Age more than I.

Brid dedicates this one to Outcasts, everywhere




(*snigger*)

To win just once would be enough
For those who've lost in life and love
For those who've lost their guile and nerve
Their innocence, their drive and verve
For those who feel they've been mistreated
Discriminated, robbed or cheated
To claim one victory inspired
To win just once is their desire
To win just once against the odds
And once be smiled on by the Gods
To race with speed along the track
Break the tape and not look back
To never have considered losing
As if to win is by your choosing
Bare your soul for all to find
An honest heart and an open mind
To Win just once
That would be enough
So come all ye fulltime smalltown heroes
Cast away your inbred fears of
Standing out from all the rest
The cynics and the pessimists
The self-indulgent almost rich
The blatant hurlers on the ditch
Time is passing so come on
And face the ball, the game is on

I've watched the children come and go
A late long march into spring
I sit and watch those children
Jump in the tall grass
Leap the sprinkler
Walk in the ground
Bicycle clothespin spokes
The sound the smell of swingset hands

I will try to sing a happy song
I'll try and make a happy game to play
Come play with me I whispered to my new found friend
Tell me what it's like to go outside
I've never been
Tell me what it's like to just go outside
I've never been
And I never will

I'm not supposed to be like this
I'm not supposed to be like this
But it's okay

Hey, those kids are looking at me
I told my friend myself
Those kids are looking at me
They're laughing and they're running over here
They're laughing and they're running over here
What do I do?
What can I do?
What should I do?
What do I say?
What can I say?

I said I'm not supposed to be like this
Let's try to find a happy game to play
Let's try to find a happy game to play
I'm not supposed to be like this
But it's okay, okay
Brid will make it okay.......... one way or another.

Lyrics almost fit the void perfectly. A tad warlike though. I really like the intro theme. Quite diferent to all the above songs too

Sculpting The Throne Ov Seth

[music and lyrics by Nergal; opening acoustic theme by Seth]

come forth!
from the void beyond the stars
from the blackened shores Thee arrive
Thou art ov gods
yet supreme above them all
Thou art mocked and blessed

speak ov me not as one
speak ov me not as none
speak ov me not at all
for I am continual

crowned and conquering child
cast aside the prophets and false gods ov Thy ways
from the outer space
when TONUAL cross NAGUAL
beyond becoming, Thou hast become...

speak ov me not as one
speak ov me not as none
speak ov me not at all
for I am continual

let me reign as a god among slaves!

spirit clad in gold
Seraphs incarnate
shake loose the shackles ov a million years
children ov Seth
blast wide the portals
unveil the raptures
ov Thy kingdom

speak ov me not as one
speak ov me not as none
speak ov me not at all
for I am continual

let me reign as a god among slaves!

Io Khepesh!
Io Nubti!
Io Akhakh!
Io Simai!


Video

Cool song. Lyrics seem to fit. Solos great fun to play on guitar.
Conquer all


Mightiest Self!
cast out ov Thy Elysium
with blood ov nazarene
I write the story ov man
2000 years is nothing
thought it has been enough
come forth victorious
muting the foul angelic choirs!

none ov thy empty gods, shall ever stand above me
none ov thy weak brothers, shalt ever share my blood
my awareness, catalyst, ov godhate I have spawned
in sinister ecstasy eternally I decompose

race ov man!
the errors ov a wise make The rules
ye shall see
rather than the perfection ov the fool
the most divine!
I am many! among so very few
beyond redemption, beyond the weak
thus I beheld the truth!

none ov thy empty gods, shall ever stand above me
none ov thy weak brothers, shalt ever share my blood
my awareness, catalyst, ov godhate I have spawned
in sinister ecstasy eternally I'm decomposed

[lead: Nergal]

I am the pure flame that burns
I am (ever shining) Sirius son
I am the infinite space
I am the most conquering One

Now for something a little lateral:

Hail Caesar

Ignoring the Roman imagery, the intent of this song is about right for Eztlicoatl, especially after the 3:30 mark. ;)

For Bel, God of Peace....
All the people under broken homes
Don't wanna fight no more
All the people nursing shattered bones
Don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in peace
So we've gotta fight some more

And all these who are in foreign lands
Don't wanna fight no more
And all those those lost their feet or hands
Don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in peace boys
We gotta fight some more

Hey we don't fight no more
Hey, Hey, Hey, We don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in peace
So we gotta fight some more

And all those just trying toplay their part
Don't wanna fight no more
And all those who own a human heart
Don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in what you want
So we must fight some more

And all those who got an axe to grind down
Don't wanna fight no more
And all those who got their burning lives
Don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in ever being right
So we must fight some more

Chorus

And all the people under broken homes
Don't wanna fight no more
But there is profit in the land you own
So we must fight some more

And all those who got a tired face
Don't wanna fight no more
And all those who are lost without a trace
Don't wanna fight no more
But there is profit in the love of hate
So we must fight some more
for anyone wanting to hear the song (by Ocean Colour Scene)

Somewhere Over the Rainbow By Israel Kamakawiwo Ole's
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I?

Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I?

Way too happy. How about one for Neph?
Blackened is the End
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of Mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's end
Never will it mend

Never...!

FIRE
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Blackened--is the--End!
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Color our world Blackened!

Blistering of Earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly Nicotine
Kills what might have been

Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore

Never...!

FIRE
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Blackened--is the--End!
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Color our world Blackened!

BLACKENED.

Opposition (opposition)...Contradiction (contradiction)...Premonition (premonition)...Compromise
Agitation (agitation)...Violation (violation)...Mutilation (mutilation)...Planet Dies
Darkest Color,
Blistered Earth,
True Death of Life.
Termination (termination)....Expiration (expiration)...Cancellation (cancellation)...Human Race
Expectation (expectation)...Liberation (liberation)...Population (population)...Lay to Waste
See our Mother
Put to death
See our Mother die

Smouldering decay
Take your breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears

Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun

Never...!

FIRE
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead,
Blackened--is the--end!
To begin whipping Dance of the Dead....
FIRE
Is the outcome of hypocrisy,
Darkest--poten-CY!
In the exit of hu-ma-ni-ty,
Color our world Blackened!

BLACKENED.

"Invincible," Therion
The blaze of northern light
Reflect the dawn of Gods
Of ancient Pantheons
Who rest no more in peace
Faith of the Old, the strong one from above:
The Invincible
All the Gods of the sky and the earth
proclaim this day, this day
See the signs in the day and the night
Foretell the one, the one
Open up the Runa and belief of the strong and the brave
Open up! Let the Gods of your heart and your soul show the way
The eye of the high one
have seen the dawn of Gods
In the well of Mimer
(And) through the flight of Ravens

Here's one for Uncle Rothmog! Hohoho...

Creep by Radiohead:

When you were here before
Couldnt look you in the eye
Youre just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
Youre so fuckin special

But Im a creep, Im a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.

I dont care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When Im not around
Youre so fuckin special
I wish I was special

But Im a creep, Im a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.

Shes running out again,
Shes running out
Shes run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
Youre so fuckin special
I wish I was special...

But Im a creep, Im a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.
I dont belong here.

For Unzen, God of the Undead

The Pogues - Worms
The worms crawl in
and the worms crawl out,
The ones that crawl in
are lean and thin.
The ones that crawl out
are fat and stout.
Your eyes fall in
and your teeth fall out.
Your brains come tumbling
down your snout.
Be merry, my friend,
Be merry!

Aisha
We've only just met
And I think you ought to know
I'm a murderer
Babies need blood

I have a portrait on my wall
He's a serial killer
I thought he wouldn't escape
Aisha
He got out

We live in a cemetary
A cold and damp place
And science runs through us
Making us Gods

The rules are all Wrong
Every perversion is justified
I've seen people eat dead bodies
Anything goes around here

I still want to to be human again
What am I?
What am I?
I'm a murderer

Aisha
I'm confused
Aisha
I'm vibrating

I'm a murderer
The Gods all suck
