In Sara​’​s Tents

from Consort Of The Dying God by Goat Of Mendes

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Entitled "CONSORT OF THE DYING GOD", Goat Of Mendes present their first complete concept album with a playing time of nearly 70 minutes.
    Inspired by the annual Gypsy celebration for their saint Sara la Kali in Saintes Maries de la Mer, GOM have woven a fascinating story around ancient gypsy faith and legends, dark secrets of early Christianity and the very essence of being a Pagan.

    GOM have enriched their already unique style by integrating elements of hungarian and romanian folklore and haunting gypsy scales.
    Apart from this, the new record of course still features crunching, yet melodic twin guitar work, thunderous drumming, awesome leads and variable, charismatic vocals.

lyrics

In Sara’s Tents

What happened to you, Mother?
Why did the sky turn grey?
Your children got molested
Lured off the right hand way

The Huntress, wild Diana
Now roams the concrete vales
Fallen are the woods
Where deer and fox once played

The fairy folk now hides
From those who do not see
The witch rings in the meadows
And glades of mystery

Your marvellous natural temples
Mankind no longer hails
Instead the engines drum
And drown our silent wails

All mankind’s edifices
Unnatural and strange
Compared to dense, green forests
And mighty mountain ranges

We’re meeting by the fires
Preserve the ancient lore
And keep your mystery sacred
As our fathers did before

Refrain (female)
Protector and Guardian
Mother and Bride
In Sara’s tents
I still hide

As long as my children
Don’t fail in their strive
In Sara’s Tents
I’m alive

Refrain 2 (male)
Praise to our Mother’s grace and glory
A spark in the fire, a drop in the sea
White clouds high above the mountains and forests
Eternal you are and blessed you’ll be!

We hide amongst the wolves
No place we call our home
Except for the wild landscapes
Neath the skies starry dome

For centuries we were hunted
As outcasts we still feel
The all-embracing vice
Of patriarchal zeal

But still the Lord and Lady
Rule in our heart’s abode
Protected from the wrath of
An unforgiving god

As long in woodlands gloom the wild flowers still bloom
And the spring water sparkles in the light of the moon
Despite Crescent and Cross the Powers that Be are alive
Peals of laughter will rise to the unbounded skies
When the cities will crumble and hypocrisy dies
And the young, rightful Lord once more claims his rejuvenate wife

Protector and Guardian
Mother and Bride
In Sara’s Tents
I still hide

As long as my children
Don’t fail in their strive
In Sara’s Tents
I’m alive

Praise to our Mother’s grace and glory
A spark in the fire, a drop in the sea
White clouds high above the mountains and forests
Eternal you are and blessed you’ll be!

Protector and Guardian
Mother and Bride
In Sara’s Tents
I still hide

As long as my children
Don’t fail in their strive
In Sara’s Tents
I’m alive
