"Twa Corbies"
:[ info ]:
This is a "folk metal" version of the Scottish border ballad "Twa Corbies". The lyrics are traditional, based on those found in Sir Walter Scott's collection "Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border". The melody is largely based on the traditional Breton tune called "Alar'ch" ("The Swan"); the short bridge-like bit after some verses is my own composition. The style is ... eh, sort of latter-day Sabbath! :)
