Keltentrauer   Traege liegen die Huegel Unter der Morgendaemerung Siegel Traege zieht durch die Taeler der Nebel Aus dem sich Baumwipfel erheben Stil! Stehen Legionen bereit  Im rotsilberoemischen Wafenkleid Dan scheint die Sone ueber den Horizont Und ein langes klagendes Hornsignal ertoent Es erschalt wieder und wieder  Erst zaghaft dan staerker erheben sich Tromelieder Dan endlich die Carnyx erschalt und weit sie klingt So mancher Legionaer die Knie zur Ruhe zwingt Dan begint der Wald sie auszuspeien Erst in grosen Grupen, dan zu zweien und dreien Gar praechtig sind sie anzusehen Wie sie da hochwohlgeruestet stolz im Morgenlichte stehen Manchen Helm den schmueckt der Eber Ob aus Eisen oder Leder Auch der Hirsch auf dem Gewande darf nicht fehlen Wolf und Baer sie sind verwandte Selen Frischpoliert der Schild Mit langem Schwerte steht der Held An langen Stangen mutig flaternd Baner schwingen Wo noch imer schaurig Lurenrufe Klingen Stil! Die Adler auf der anderen Seite Es wehen nur die Umhaenge der Reiter Und so samelt sich das Celtoi Her Rufe schalen hin und her Dan ploetzlich wird es stile Und ein groser Krieger trit aus ihrer Mite Er legt ab wohl Helm und Bruene Die Hose und den Schutz auch fyr die Beine Bis er nackt im kuehlen Morgengrase steht Nur mit Halsreif, Schild und Schwert Und als er dan yber die Lichtung schreitet Wird er mit Schildschlag und Gesang begleitet Entschlosen baut er sich vor der schoensten goldenen Ruestung auf Und verkuendet dem Feindesfeldhern rundheraus Vor dir steht der Fuerst der Hirschenleut Und ich sage dir: Las uns nicht unuetz Blut vergeuden Schicke deinen staerksten Kaempfer gegen mich Man gegen Man, nur er und ich Wen er siegt, so weichen wir Doch siege ich, so weicht dan ihr! Schweigend nimt der Gegner seine Rede auf Nur sein Pferd taenzelt nervoes und schnauft Und auf ein Nicken Faehrt der Tod Auf pfeilernen Hornisen Manigfaltig in des Celtoi` Brust und faerbt sie rot Und als er dan vornueberfaelt Ein maechtiges Geschrei anhebt Es sind die Wafenbrueder, die da schreien Sie wolen sich von ihrer Wut befreien Es fliegen Helm und Harnisch, Ketenhemd Sie haeten uns im Kampf doch nur bengt Tromel und Carnyxenschal ertoent nun wieder Laute, rohe Schild- und Schwerterlieder Wiehernd faehrt im Wagen einer vor Laut dringt sein Ruf an jedes Ohr Wie er mit wohlverziertem Arm die Klinge schwenkt Und mit dem anderen seine Pferde lenkt Vorwaerts, vorwaerts, meine Bryder Singt der Ahnen Schlachtenlieder Traenkt das Schwert mit Roemerblut Den nur so erlischt der Goeter Wut! Wie ein Schleudergeschos fliegt er den Reihen entgegen Und aus dem Geschos wird ein Regen Ale renen und reiten, den Schildwal zu brechen Den toten Haeuptling der Hirsche zu raechen Jeder wagen reist eine Wunde, bricht Schilde Doch sie schliesen sich wieder, es sind viel zu viele Wie sich Waser glaetet, faelt ein Stein hinein Bleiben standhaft wie unverletzt die roemischen Reihen Und ist das Celtoi Fusvolk dan herangeilt Hat sich die Legion schon laengst beilt Die Reihen wieder aufzustelen Um die Celtoi um den Sieg zu prelen Und siehe, es waechst ein gewaltiges Schlachten Unter den Menschensoehnen Die einander nicht achten Sie zerfleischen und zerfetzen und zermalmen sich Blutbesudelt, Todesantlitz, Hasgesicht Einst trug er am Gyrtel stolz die Koepfe seiner Feinde Jetzt rolt ihm dort der eigene Jener, der so heldenhaft herangelaufen Hat nun blutend unter Beinverlust zu schnaufen Dieser, der den Wurfspies fyhrte so behende Ist schreiend nun beraubt der feinen Haende Und die schoene, stolzgeschwelte Muskelbrust Leidet unter Herzenstich und Blutverlust Kalte Provokation und warten der Roemer hat sich bewehrt Ohne Siegesausicht stuerzen die Nackten sich in ihr Schwert Sie weichen zurueck, geben sich selbst den Tod Den gefangen zu sein waer die groesere Not Schwaecher nun Lure und Carnuex erschalen Und man sieht Celtoi Standarten in die Blutsuempfe falen Nur die roemischen Adler recken sich imer noch Und die Formation hat kein klitzekleines Loch Stehen glaenzend rot und unverueckt Darueber ist der Feldher sehr entzueckt Vor ih hat man der Celtoi Fuehrer hingeschleift Es interesiert ihn nicht mal, wie er heist Todeswund der einst so stolze Man Der vor dem Roemer nur noch kriechen kan Ach, waere ich doch niemals aufgewachsen, Niemals doch geboren Es waere beser wohl fuer mich gewesen Als zu kriechen vor dir auf dem Boden Vae victis! Wehe den Besiegten Die im Staub vor Roemern liegen! Nun ist keiner da um Frau und Kind und Hof zu schuetzen Der Roemeradler weis das wohl zu schaetzen Er schwingt sich auf und zieht eine grose Blutspur durch das Land Das uns als Galia wohlbekant.

about

Since its inception in 2017, enigmatic world music collective HEILUNG has been paving melodic paths to the past with their unique and mystifying sound.
Evading all conventional genre tags and the confines of any specific labels, the group aptly self-describes their sound as “amplified history,” emphasizing their ability to connect modern society with the rudiments of humanity’s beginnings through music.
HEILUNG once again journeys back in time with its new chapter, ‘Drif’ however, unlike previous offerings that centered around medieval northern Europe, album number three will explore all great ancient civilizations.

“All the songs on ‘Drif’ have their own stories,” adds HEILUNG throat singer and one of the band’s three composers, Kai Uwe Faust. Each has its place and sense of belonging, with inspiration not only from Northern Europe, but from the ancient great civilizations,” explains the band. “We took the ancient surrounding advanced civilizations in account, because our ancestral Nordic civilizations did not just pop up, exist and disappear in isolation. Already in the Bronze Age, we found silk on German land that was imported already from the far, far East 3000 years ago. From the Viking age, we found beads that were brought there from present-day Syria high up in the Northern mountains.
“Centrally important concepts, still in extensive use today, like the number Zero and all the mathematical universes deriving from it, the use of iron and the general concept of settling all originate from traditional high civilizations outside the north and still fundamentally changing our ancestor's world.

“With singing these primordial songs we want to give tribute to these cultures, reconnect to the beginnings and remember that we all, from East to West, from past to present, are connected through the exchange of ideas and inspiring each other.”
Meaning “gathering,” ‘Drif’ serves as more than merely a gateway that bridges history with modern day society, but is also a statement of the strength in unity and togetherness, which will come as no surprise to those who have experienced HEILUNG’s live ritual, in which every ceremony starts with a reminder that “we are all brothers.” “‘Drif’ means ‘gathering,’' explains HEILUNG. “A throng of people, a horde, a crowd, a pack. In symbiosis with the album title, ‘Drif’ consists of a flock, a collection, a gathering, a collage of songs, that much like little flames were seeking towards each other, to join, to bond, to create, and be greater together.”

While HEILUNG features authentic and archaic instrumentation that ranges from rattles and ritual bells to human bones and throat singing, their captivating brand of music is far from primitive. Producer and founding member Christopher Juul implements subtle electronic elements that elevates the musical atmosphere and provides a more in-depth and layered soundscape.

“This album has very clearly dictated its own path. Our attempts to tame it were repeatedly fruitless, and once we came to this realization, the creative flow surged forward with immense force. So much so that sometimes it felt like the songs wrote themselves,” the band adds.

According to Greek philosopher Pythagoras, three is a divine number, signifying harmony, wisdom, and understanding. He also believed it to be the number of time – past, present, future; birth, life, death; beginning, middle, end. Purposefully or not, ‘Drif’ embodies this philosophy, putting forth a divine work of art that ties together the beginning of civilization with the modern world today. Make no mistake, HEILUNG still does not represent any modern political or religious ideology, but rather delivers a humbling reminder of where we came from. “Remember, we are all brothers. All people, beasts, tree and stone and wind, we all descend from the one great being that was always there, before people lived and named it, before the first seed sprouted.”
