MESSAGE in a BOTTLE

Hiya Woodsy,

Some pix of my own vintage bottles gathered at various car boots...

erm... I mean fearlessly found and dug up by myself on a dark stormy night... hmm :)

THE BEST HEAVY ROCK LYRICS EVER?

Further to my Rush post earlier, here's another contender for the rock god podium.

By Tor and The Snow Dog

performed by Canadian rockers RUSH and written by one Nearl Peart.

As Seventies as Bilbo's monkey boots here are the best heavy rock lyrics ever, beginning with the superlative phrase that is The Tobes of Hades ......

I want this played at my funeral.

Enjoy!

I. At The Tobes of Hades
The Tobes of Hades lit by flickering torchlight
The netherworld is gathered in the glare
Prince By-Tor takes the cavern to the northlight
The sign of Eth is rising in the air
By-Tor – Knight of Darkness,
Centurion of evil – Devil’s Prince

II. Across the Styx
Across the River Styx out of the lamplight
His nemesis is waiting at the gate
The Snow Dog – ermine glowing in the damp night
Coal black eyes, shimmering with hate
By-Tor and the Snow Dog
Square for battle, let the fray begin…..

III. The Battle
i) Challenge And Defiance
ii) 7/4 War Furor
iii) Aftermath
iv) Hymn of Triumph

IV. Epilogue
The battle over and the dust is clearing
Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell
Rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing
By-Tor in defeat retreats to Hell
Snow Dog – is victorious
The land of the Overworld is saved again

and now maybe listen to it being played.

Prepare for the Rush of battling guitars, a skirmish of steel, a roust of riffs to split your drums to:

I give you By Tor and the Snow Dog ....
