Rest In Oblivion A lifetime with sword in my hand And I grow weary I'm yearning for my promised land A dream of peace I fought for valour and spoil What did it bring me? More bloodshed, murder and toil Never ceasing Visions of wonder take my hand I yearn for an ending to this torment A valkyrie lures me with her song Oh, how I long to take this journey To rest in oblivion I blink the sweat from my brow My wounds are stinging I ache from the weight of my crown To stand relieved My enemy stands grim and tall A wight unyielding My path to ancestral halls Opens before me Visions of wonder take my hand I yearn for an ending to this torment A Valkyrie lures me with her song Oh how I long to take this journey To rest in oblivion My sword lies waiting before My soul elating My key to what lies beyond These battlefields I'm thirsty for my grim reward My horn of plenty Another sun sets on the world When I must rise for... War Now I lie Evermore I am bound In sleep Now I remain A nameless king Dream of the day I will wake

The Bargain 08:22
The Bargain He watches all the time He is the ever prying Reaching ever high He has a needful mind When he makes his move You're walking to his groove Across the burning land Playing to his hand You let your mind give in And let the darkness in Slave to higher powers Slave to higher powers... Cast into the pool The dark side of the rune Let him take you in Let him take you in... To the other side The darkest recess of mind He'll show you secrets within He'll show you secrets within... Give in to the vices of sin Let the light bringer in Reach for loftier goals All he asks is your soul Give in to the vices of sin Let the light bringer in Reach for loftier goals All he asks is your soul Cast your fear aside Let him take a ride Far from heavens shore Far from heavens shore... Beside your infernal guide Ever bending to pride You were forewarned You were forewarned... You wont believe your eyes Behold the jewelled skies What lies in store? What lies in store? Whore to the breaker of dreams All does not appear as it seems Slave to material things You will fear the sound of his wings Whore to the breaker of dreams Slave to material things You will fear the sound of his wings You will fear the sound of his wings... Give in to the vices of sin Let the light bringer in Reach for loftier goals All he asks is your soul Give in to the vices of sin Let the light bringer in Reach for loftier goals All he asks is your soul Your soul...

Euphoria 05:10
Euphoria Far flung days In a haze euphoric Torn from my daze In my glazed narcotic Bathed in amber morn Golden as the dawn Freeing wordless screams Fractured dreams in amber Reading further meaning Through the portents hanging Silently I cry Fires dance before my eyes Flail, tattered sail Carry me in slumber Screaming, dreaming Visions drag me under Bear me along Siren sing me home Cold under bone I'm alone in darkness Sinking into sleep Drowning deep in amber Euphoria remains Burning in my veins

Gallows Tree 08:02
Gallows Tree The weight of time lies upon me I am falling through eternity I have borne the scorn of those elite I am hemmed in by eternity The crashing tide washes o'er me A crushing weight to smother me No haven shore to bring relief This journey brings me to my end Time to die Time to face the end And join the ever clear Embrace the sky Dancing ever free In death's release Lift me high For the world to see On this dying tree Fate hangs nigh Calling out to me Gallows tree An uncertain haze lies across my path I am cast away by spite and wrath A soul consigned to wander on To fate uncertain, and ever scorned Inside I hide from the frowning stares A shield of mind, unbreakable Entombed in thought and grim disdain For love, for life, to the end This is my calling To take my final journey I am forsaken To walk among the fallen Condemned, to Satan Upon the tree of Tyburn Punishment, eternal This is my solemn burden Begone, Messiah Into the ever after Leave me Pariah To the underworld I will never repent Nor will I bow in regret My sin is my burden This is my cross to bear My guide to where the fallen Lie released from torment Beyond the gallows calling The weight of time lies upon me I am falling through eternity I have borne the scorn of those elite I am hemmed in by eternity Inside I hide from the frowning stares A shield of mind, unbreakable Entombed in thought and grim disdain For love, for life, to the end Time to die Time to face the end And join the ever clear Embrace the sky Dancing ever free In death's release Lift me high For the world to see On this dying tree Fate hangs nigh Calling out to me Gallows tree

Queen of Ancient Rites. She is the night Born of desire and delight She rides the skies Dressed in darkest midnight She calls the rites To stand beside the altar Her torches light Upon her sacrifice She is the master of our destiny She is the queen of ancient rites Calling on the dark and never seen To bewitch our earthly kind She holds the knife High above the ancient altar She calls to light The skies above with thunder She wields the blade Forged from steel of ancient makers She cuts the binds Between the Ell's and this world Oh, ancient one Call on your Gods Queen of desire And pagan fire Oh, ancient one Call on your Gods Queen of desire And pagan fire Oh, firstborn woman Bereft of God Born of desire And pagan fire Oh, firstborn woman Bereft of God Born of desire And pagan fire She is the master of our destiny She is the queen of ancient rites Calling on the dark and never seen To bewitch our earthly kind She is the master of our destiny She is the queen of ancient rites Calling on the dark and never seen To bewitch our earthly kind Our earthly kind...

Servant of Samael A mist is slowly rising Upon the battlefield A blackened figure calls me From the killing field Is my time upon me Or am I called to be A servant of the fallen For all eternity Reaching out Take my hand Pull me in To the void My unrest Shall be seen As my curse Servant of Samil On the edge of madness I stand among the dead Facing my accuser First among the dead Pleading for attonement Falling to my knees I am raised in darkness I pledge allegiency Angel of genocide Prey upon, those who died Servant of Samael Soldier's Soul Sword of Hell Angel of genocide Prey upon, those who died Servant of Samael Soldier's Soul Sword of Hell Endless marching on Through these killing fields Recruiting souls For my lord to weild My heart is won I am Satan-steeled Your servant calls The dead must yield Endless marching on Through these killing fields Recruiting souls For my lord to weild My heart is won I am Satan-steeled Your servant calls The dead must yield I am standing shrouded Upon the killing field A blackend figure calling To the fallen shields On the edge of madness Call to leave the dead To be clad is shadow For all eternity Angel of genocide Prey upon, those who died Servant of Samael Soldier's Soul Sword of Hell Angel of genocide Prey upon, those who died Servant of Samael Soldier's Soul Sword of Hell

Ashes Over Water. In my mind, my inner eye I find it hard, to see the light In a world, of endless night Lost in shadow, lost in time Endless is my pain Sombre is my tale Thorns around my heart Scales upon my eyes From this prison, where I reside Cast from favor, and from sight Let these embers, be my grave And the winds, upon the lake Endless is my pain Sombre is my tale Thorns around my heart Scales upon my eyes Tear me asunder In the pyre upon the plain I lie to meet the flames My redemption lies in wait Cast me from this earthly plane to the northern wind Ashes over water Let my epitaph now sing Endless is my pain Sombre is my tale Thorns around my heart Scales upon my eyes Cast me to the flames Sing me to the pyre Sombre is my tale Ashes embers die Cast me to the flames Ashes to the breeze Borne on to my fate Fade to memory

about

Pilgrim of Fire is a traditional Doom Metal band that reared it's head upon the haunted shores of England. Based in Derbyshire in the heart of the country, vocalist and bassist Andi J. Haywood and Guitarist/songwriter Marc Hoyland joined forces together in 2017. "An Age of Penance and Oblivion" speaks of life, death, turmoil, despair, solitude and all aspects from the darker side of human nature.
Set to the backdrop of some of the most doom-laden riffs and the bleakest of musical moments the band could muster.
