Tempting Voices 05:49
lyrics
I strayed too long from your side So until it's over, you'll feed the loneliness That tempting voice inside Along with all this filth and mire, bring me a reason not to fly Not to die I'll always strive Strive to forget those days we used to fret away, steal away, blee away with childish hands Lie with me, say you'll never lie lifeless in this earth I fear not the doors within the trees (fear not the doors within the trees) I won't stay Hide my name (I won't stay here) Hide my name in the earth Scrawled in ink that writes our days away below the blooded boughs Lead me from your light I fear not the doors within the trees I won't stay Hide my name I won't speak older tongues to bind the heart of time (I won't stay here)

Moonlit Moor 05:38
lyrics
A welcome silence breathes through the fade, calls me to my shelter Within the water, we drowned the trees; hands that plead the moon for light My demon, stay here a while, linger in my bones (My children, you'll stay here, no longer beside me) Bleeding me won't bring you peace Black descends into a moon-drowned lake Wraith of nuin, decant my soul Drink with glee upon the shore That laps with lust at your dark words Lend me flesh, i'll give you my own; my weakness Gray wraith of nuin, I plea Life unending Will undying

Initiation 05:15
lyrics
A common tongue for the bestial empyrean, a realm still steeped in revelry to the last A brazen call before the ancients' despoiling ley; cold sleepers in bliss as they wane Drink deep from the throat of Ur; eighteenth seal of the wood The seal of the crowned The soul is flayed, the heart is severed, the skin unbound All hail the horned god Our moon holds way. Wyrds of power in your embrace All hail the horned god Drink deep from the throat of Ur; black earth seal of the wood The seal of the crowned The fiend of the trees

The Wheel Turns 05:23
lyrics
Rose torn asunder Wheel always turning One last moon will shed leaf from withering limb Her song calls me back Vale smoke has choked our hearts The wight of autumn's flame bled our hallows dark Curled our leaves under the weight of regret How long was I (gone?) How long did i leave her wanting, alone? I bled to free myself from death, shed the lifeless skin of love Home is the blooded arches' eye

about

The debut release Through the Ages is merely glimpse at what Aythyr are striving for. A 5 song journey into the Celtic otherworld telling a story of the peril of ones search for power and the cost it has on the lover he leaves behind. And with the music either rolling like thunder or gently tugging the edges of your consciousness, you can't help but be pulled into the reality the band creates. Recorded by each of the musicians by themselves gave them a comfortable environment for the music to evolve naturally.
