/// LETRA ///

Raise a cup my friends, the night is long, and let's sing!

Born of the thunder, twice-born flame,
madness and nectar both bear his name.
From vine to chalice, the rivers run red,
where Bacchus treads, all reason is dead.

His satyrs scream with pipes and drums,
maidens swirl as the madness comes.
A god of wine, of lust, of song,
he drags the weak and makes them strong.

No temple stone can bind his feet,
no priest can halt his drunken beat.
For in his eyes, the stars ignite,
and mortals drown in endless night.

Bacchus! Bacchus! Lift the bowl high,
spill the red river, laugh at the sky!
Drunken we stagger, holy, profane,
singing his hymn in the storm and the rain!

Dance in the fire, feast in the street,
wine on our tongues, blood in the beat!
God of the rebel, breaker of chains,
long may he rule while madness reigns!

Kings that deny him are torn apart,
mothers go blind when his frenzy starts.
He crowns the lost with ivy and flame,
the drunk and the broken all shout his name.

His beasts of the wild obey his call,
tigers and panthers through cities fall.
He walks on grapes, the harvest bleeds,
and mortals bow to their darkest needs.

From tavern whispers to mountain cries,
the name of Bacchus never dies.
For every cup that spills to ground,
his spirit roars, his laugh resounds.

Bacchus! Bacchus! Lift the bowl high,
spill the red river, laugh at the sky!
Drunken we stagger, holy, profane,
singing his hymn in the storm and the rain!

Dance in the fire, feast in the street,
wine on our tongues, blood in the beat!
God of the rebel, breaker of chains,
long may he rule while madness reigns!

I sing his legend with wine-soaked breath,
a song of birth, of life, of death.
For every drunken fool you see,
a spark of Bacchus burns in thee.

His altar’s not marble, nor carved in stone,
but laughter and madness that make us his own.
The tavern, the vineyard, the torch in the night,
all bow to Bacchus, wild in his might.

So drink, my friends, and fear no sin,
for Bacchus lives in the joy within.
The cup is endless, the feast won’t die,
the god of madness will never lie.

Bacchus! Bacchus! Lift the bowl high,
spill the red river, laugh at the sky!
Drunken we stagger, holy, profane,
singing his hymn in the storm and the rain!

Dance in the fire, feast in the street,
wine on our tongues, blood in the beat!
God of the rebel, breaker of chains,
long may he rule while madness reigns!

And if I fall before my song is done…
remember Bacchus, the endless one.

Drinkin' the Gods - Bacchus [Bonus Track]

/// LETRA ///
Sileno dormía en la hierba y Midas lo encontró errante,
cuidó al sabio viejo y lo llevó cual vigilante,
Dioniso, agradecido, ofreció el don más brillante,
y el rey, ciego de deseo, pidió oro en cada instante.

Las ramas del olivo se tornaron dorado,
el trigo ardió en resplandores de un suelo encantado,
palacios y estatuas crecieron de un toque adorado,
el reino creyó en milagro, mas era un engaño envenenado.

El fulgor en su palma pesaba como su destino,
un lujo convertido en cadena del camino,
el brillo inundaba el aire, como trueno sin sonido,
la fortuna abrió sus dientes, y la carne quedó en vacío.

El pan se quebró en polvo metálico al contacto,
el vino se volvió espejo sin calor ni tacto,
sus labios besaron muerte en reflejo compacto,
la mesa era un altar dorado de ayuno exacto.

Su hija corrió a sus brazos buscando abrigo,
y el rey, temblando, la perdió en ese destello frío,
una estatua viva, una risa rota, un propio enemigo,
el oro fue su tumba, y en sus ojos ardía el vacío.

Los templos callaron bajo su mando sombrío,
las flores eran ceniza en resplandor tardío,
sus súbditos temían su don como cuchillo,
y Midas clamó al dios un perdón entre sollozos tibios.

Oh Midas, tus manos tejieron un grillete de oro,
la abundancia se volvió silencio sin poros,
las lágrimas corrieron como ríos sin socorro,
y el sol se apagó en tu mesa de tesoros.

Oh Midas, escucha el río que canta en tu dolor,
Pactolo lava el pecado y arrastra tu fulgor,
que el agua devuelva el pulso y mate al resplandor,
y en la humildad se alce tu único valor.

Se sumergió en Pactolo, donde el oro se disuelve,
la corriente arrancó su maldición, en tiempo leve,
las arenas guardaron su peso que ya no vuelve,
y el hombre halló sosiego en la pobreza que lo envuelve.

La niña despertó del abrazo convertido en ruina,
el aire se llenó de voces, la fragancia divina,
los campos brotaron verdes, las aves en la colina,
la vida le devolvió aquello que el oro asesina.

Ya no quiso reinos de brillo ni corona pesada,
se apartó del fulgor, de la riqueza envenenada,
su nombre quedó leyenda de ambición desgraciada,
y el eco de su tragedia es memoria sagrada.

Oh Midas, tu historia es espejo de deseo y ruina,
el poder sin medida devora lo que ilumina,
la codicia se viste de gloria repentina,
y termina vacía en su tumba cristalina.

Oh Midas, que tu nombre resuene como advertencia,
que el oro no pese más que la conciencia,
la grandeza se pierde si se olvida la esencia,
y solo el agua limpia devuelve la presencia.

Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom, and speech.

She is considered the mother of the Vedas and the patron deity of students and scholars.

Pegasus is a mythical, divine, winged horse from Greek mythology, born from the blood of the Gorgon Medusa when the hero Perseus beheaded her. He is known for his ability to fly, his connection to the hero Bellerophon & closely associated with the Muses, who were the 9 Goddesses of Inspiration.
 Pegasus created the sacred spring, Hippocrene, with his hoof on Mount Helicon, the home of the Muses, and its waters became a source of divine inspiration for poets and artists.
After Bellerophon's fall, Pegasus ascended to Mount Olympus, where he served Zeus by carrying his thunderbolts and was later transformed into a constellation.

Saraswati 's Twerkaba Ridin' A Perplexing Pegasus (David Starfire & SACE Ancient One Mashup)

This is the traditional story from Tsimshian mythology. Recorded raven calls, which are amazingly varied, have been added into the music. Some inspiration is from Native American styles and Jethro Tull. The dynamic flute sound is a ney performed by Ido Romano of Israel. The intro, which also occurs before the final chorus, has a climbing bass to fit the idea of lifting into the sky. The verse has gone through style changes. First, it was a bluesy rock rhythm guitar, then acoustic fingerpicking. After creating a cooler bass part, inspiration came for a cleaner electric guitar part that didn’t follow the same pattern as the bass but complimented it. I think the key changes and style changes help to make it more musically interesting. Lead vocals are by Christina Rotondo of the UK who has also performed lead vocals on a song in a Doctor Who episode. Greg Van Kerkhof of South Africa provides background vocals and performs on bass.

Raven Stole the Sun

The music was originally written on the piano with the idea that I would write a song in the style of Castle Walls (Styx). My cousin lived on a street called Eolus. I looked it up, was inspired, and wrote the lyrics about the Greek god of the wind. The music evolved from there. “Ah…” vocals on Man of Miracles (Styx) and Pleiades (King’s X) that sound like a low choir inspired some of the background vocals. “Godness” was accidentally used in the song Venus by Shocking Blue because the singer wasn’t fluent in English. Turns out it’s actually a word, but just rarely used since the 1800s. Seems fitting here as a nod to Shocking Blue. Soprano Mailen Blanco Arriola of Argentina provides the soprano background vocal in the part with whispers in the middle of the song. The lead vocals and chorus harmony were performed by Dan Picknell of the UK.

Captain Aeolus

The fire from Ljosvarg has opened the way — now the trance begins.

Völva’s Trance is a dark ritual descent into seiðr magic.
As drums pulse like a heartbeat and drones hum from deep within the earth,
the völva enters a state between worlds — chanting, crying out,
until the vision consumes her completely.

This is Vargkald’s most intense moment yet — a journey of prophecy, chaos, and release —
ending with a scream that breaks the silence of the night.

Lyrics:

Hear me now… all holy kin…
Great and small… children of Heimdall…
You called me forth… All-Father’s will…
To speak the first… the oldest tale…

I saw the dark before the dawn…
No sea, no sand, no cooling wave…
Only the yawning, endless grave…

Vraaa… eii-yo… ska-ra-ta…
Hrraa-ssshhh… vohhrr-naa…
Ahhh… ohhh… hahhh…

Blood on the sky! Wolves are free!
Fire from the south — the Gjallarhorn rings!
SKREEEEE!
I saw the serpent churn the sea!
I saw the sun swallowed — nothing left but me!

And yet… from the deep… a new sun shines…
Green earth rises from the waves…
I see a hall of gold where the righteous feast…

Völva’s Trance

Raggnar's flame
It burns so bright
Under the moon's cold silver light
Oaths are sworn
The storm draws near
In the howl of wolves
We conquer fear.

Roots of Yggdrasil

A powerful Viking-inspired chant in Old Norse — a prayer to Odin, filled with fire, steel, and the fury of battle. The lyrics invoke the ancient gods, the clash of swords, and the unbreakable spirit of the Norse warriors. This track captures the essence of ritual, war, and destiny under Odin’s gaze. Epic, raw, and ritualistic — a hymn of strength and sacrifice.

In this episode the story of Percival, or Parcifal, and the Fisher King is applied as a metaphor to think about how we might strengthen organisational cultures.  Healing the wounds of workplace bullying, toxic cultures, and damaging work-personal imbalance, is looked at from the perspective  of mythology and symbolism.

translated from Aramaic directly into English. 

O cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration,
soften the ground of our being and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide.
Fill us with your creativity so that we may be empowered to bear the fruit of your mission.
Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire.
Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to grow and flourish.
Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind us, as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes.
Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose, but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment.
For you are the ground and the fruitful vision, the birth, power, and fulfillment, as all is gathered and made whole once again.
And So It Is!

We are a group of storytellers, performers, and musicians. We tell Irish myths to a live audience with live music.
Candlelit Tales was founded by brother-sister storytelling duo Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. Driven by a passion for Irish mythology, we started retelling the stories to a near-empty room upstairs in a Dublin pub one rainy evening in November. The next week, the room was a lot less empty, and we were joined by musician Ru O’Sé. By the fourth week, the room was full, and so was the hall outside. We realised that when we share our passion, it becomes contagious. And we’ve been telling stories and playing music from that day to this. 

Since then, over the past five years of telling stories in the capital of this nation of storytellers, we have developed and refined our uniquely expressive, naturalistic and modern style. Live music is the heartbeat of all our performances, and a live original music score composed by a team of talented musicians drives the rhythm of the stories
