about

I have always had a deep interest in archaeology, and have visited Maidens Castle on few occasions. As I stood on the earthworks and looked out with a bit of the history playing in my mind, I wondered what the last battle would have been like and if those desperate last defenders had feared the end.

lyrics

The woad paints my skin
The finger touches my cheek
Breathing hard and thin
The warriors blue born streak

We are the last of our tribe
Woman, babes, n grey bearded men
Last shamen left to enscribe
Warrior signs on tears again

This is the last true fight
The darkness holds the dead
Dawn arrows harkens in light
Shows carrion crows are fed

Know our dream is at an end
Smooth sling stones in hand
Slung from where we are penned
Death with a hard stony brand

However many we kill
There are always more to fight
When our last breath is still
Hope for the golden goddess light

The woad paints my skin
The finger touches my cheek
Breathing hard and thin
The warriors blue born streak

We are the last of our tribe
Woman, babes, n grey bearded men
Last shamen left to enscribe
Warrior signs on tears again
