    Each Uisge lore:

    The tales from Scottish mythology say the shape-shifting Each Uisge lives in the sea and lakes of Scotland, disguising itself as a fine stallion. If a human mounts it in view of the sea or a lake, the Each Uisge's skin becomes bonded to the rider and the creature gallops into the deepest part of the loch to drown it's hapless victim, before devouring it's corpse... Behold the legendary demon!

lyrics

Listen on the wind, the voice
It calls you
Let it lead you here, to me
Be guided
Lost, so far from home, alone
And weary
Ache of flesh and bone, your heart
I feel it
Let me bear you now, to rest
At long last

Ifrinn deamhan
An Each Uisge
Foul deceiver
Bound by this demon flesh
Hooves drive me, merciless
Dragged under churning waves

Foul air marks cursed day
From wrecked ship, I lost my way
We sailed against malicious waves
That dragged the crew to jagged graves

Voices, on the freezing air
Compelled the horses, white of hair
The ocean, spiteful, drove us back
Into the rocks, and sea pitch black

Lost, starved, parched, alone
Desperate now, so far from home
The voices called, so sweet and clear
Drowned out the warnings I wouldn't hear

Then, behold, merciful steed
Salvation found in time of need
But fate has found me, cursed fool
Bound to a demon dragging me to the waves

Ifrinn deamhan
An Each Uisge
Foul deceiver
Bound by this demon flesh
Hooves drive me, merciless
Dragged under churning waves

I approached, I felt it's stare
The sense of malice in the air
Trust to me, now lay to rest
The ache of years fall from you

Weak, fool, I did not leave
But mounted up, in sweet relief
Feel the desperation wane
Drifting from this coil

Horror, no, now sealed my fate
The realisation came too late
It's flesh began to meld with mine
Infernal spawn, in form equine

True face revealed, the mane ablaze
Towards the waves it fixed it's gaze
And galloped there with demon's haste
To drown me there, and on me feast

Ifrinn deamhan
An Each Uisge
Foul deceiver
Bound by this demon flesh
Hooves drive me, merciless
Grasping for silvered blades
