    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

Awaken
Ready for dawn
Prophetic the skies
Resistance in hand
Defiance in eyes
That purpose clear
Deafening now rings
Send gifts of iron
Through skulls of kings
The march to the edge
Borne on currents of hate
The will to endure
To reach glorious fate
To cast aside
False peace been had
And end the journey
In crimson clad

Go
Turn this glass to bloody roil
Fuel
Bring these waters to the boil
Tear the pillars down
Collapse the monuments
Stack the structures high
Ignite the effigies
Break the chains of slaves
And with that gifted steel
End the reign of gods
Restore the destinies

Strands of fate
Woven through these waters
Lead you here
To those shores forgotten 

Into the roil
Facing falsehoods frail
That crumble to dust
Watch resolution fail
Thirst, the call to
Taste ichor near
To topple the idols
And devour their fear
The spines pulled up
By thin coils of lies
See realisation dawn
In these incredulous eyes
These creatures breeding fear
This pious hate they bring
This can't be ended now
Without more suffering

Go
Turn this glass to bloody roil
Fuel
Bring these waters to the boil
Tear the pillars down
Collapse the monuments
Stack the structures high
Ignite the effigies
Break the chains of slaves
And with that gifted steel
End the reign of gods
Restore the destinies

Strands of fate
Woven through these waters
Lead you here
To these shores forgotten 
Deep below
Sunken hearts will harden
Take hold now
Let the mirror darken

Into the roil
Grey and red once more
The demagogues now fled
The brave now blood and gore
The salt in their wounds
Well worn the hopes
Still blind to the truths
That hung from the ropes
The towers scarred the earth
Now torn apart and burned
Their cursed ashes left
Into the soil turned
The summoning now answered
Legions leave the shore
Waters glass again
Until fate calls once more
