lyrics
In a distant field far away from here, the blood red poppies dance.
Swaying gently in the breeze and moving like a trance.
Ma bonnie Hielan' laddie has tarried there a while.
Though nameless he is upon the stane, we know he is Argyll.
No one sees, no on hears, the spirits o' the past.
Our heroes will rise again and dance the victory dance.
Sleep well, sleep well; do not stir, the golden bell has rung,
and in your peaceful slumber never hear a gun.
And as the wind blows tae the north & rushes ever oan,
it gently lifts their spirits high and brings them all back home.
Swaying gently in the breeze and moving like a trance.
Ma bonnie Hielan' laddie has tarried there a while.
Though nameless he is upon the stane, we know he is Argyll.
No one sees, no on hears, the spirits o' the past.
Our heroes will rise again and dance the victory dance.
Sleep well, sleep well; do not stir, the golden bell has rung,
and in your peaceful slumber never hear a gun.
And as the wind blows tae the north & rushes ever oan,
it gently lifts their spirits high and brings them all back home.

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song.

“Buile” uses an electronic backdrop to explore songs old and new from the Celtic tradition.

Wonderful nordic songs, full of character and atmosphere. Feels very authentic and shows a softer and more playful side of parts of Heilung and other great artists collaborating on this project.
