    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

Churn
Bring the wood to burn
Drive the auger on
Smoking from the turn
Cold in every hearth
Frost in every breath
Eyes upon this
Single
Ember

Rope
Holding onto hope
Woven with a prayer
Lashing to the post
Ring to bind them strong
First begotten sons
Eighty one to
Bring this
Neid-Fire

Churn
Beckoning the flames
Summoning to save
Step between the smoke
Pull between the space
Calling to the night
Bring to us the
Ritual flame

Turn
Bring the wood to burn
Warm a hundred souls
Spare a thousand hearts
Light a candle pure
Set the hearths again
Starting with this
Ancient augur

Scars
Marked upon the stake
Each a blazing gate
Each a village raised
Each a future saved
Each a quiet plague
Cast into the
Fires higher

Rage
Heard across the waves
Heralding the days
Marshalling the storms
Crying out in vain
Bring the stricken near
Blades to sever
Through the aether

Hope
Ashen the line
Ripping the night
Tearing the malice out
Flames
Cleansing the land
Curing the ills
Radiant providence

Churn
Driving it on
Lashing the post
Bringing salvation near
Burn
Neid fire burn
Relight the hearths
Banish the fatal plagues

Stars gaze unblinking
Fuath rage unshackled
Cursed and corrupted
May this save you
