(the tale of a soldier killed in combat. A necromancer of the infamous DeSoulis line brings his ghost back as a red-capped goblin soldier after death).

lyrics

I left my home and I left my job
Went and joined the army
If I knew then what I know now
I wouldn't have been so barmy.

Poor old soldier, poor old soldier
If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have been so barmy.

Gave me a gun and a big red coat
Gave me lots of drilling
If I knew then what I know now
I wouldn't have took the shilling.

Sent me off on a real old boat
hell, she was no beauty
far away to the wars we went
Afore to do my duty
Fought the Russians, or was it the French?
Really couldn't tell, sir
All I know is they fought so hard
They sent us all to hell, sir.

I was sent home in a big old box
To rest was my intent, sir
They sold my gun and my big red coat
And into the ground I went, sir.

rose in the churchyard to walk one night
That was how they found me
Back to De Soulis in chains I was sent
And to the earth they bound me.
got me a pike and a bloody red cap
and sat on the heath I did, sir
and now that I list for a soldier again
The devil himself’s me master.

Goblin Hovel recommends:

The Deer Will Hunt
by Where She Wept

I have heard everything from Evoken to My Dying Bride, and I still think Where She Wept is darker in sound and execution than any other gothic/doom band. And they don't even need a violin. Goblin Hovel

Witch of the Northern Frost
by Nazgûl

This is cold, meditative, and plain old desolate black metal done right. A must have for the worshipers of 90's style Norwegian folk/black metal! Goblin Hovel

Advent
by Wandering Oak

Every member of Oak is an absurdly talented musician and their cohesion as players and people is awe inspiring in and of itself. The music is intricate, but emotional; wild, yet thoughtful. Goblin Hovel
