Inis Mona (Eluveitie) - Fferyllt

Welcome to the land of questions

Welcome to the isle of lore

Where the veil came crumbling down

There it all began,

The germination

Unveiling a cryptic door

There it was revealed

Hopes and aspirations

Unclosing an enthralled door

Escalate the sense

Enhancing to join the dawn

I close my eyes, Inis Mona

And reminisce of those palmy days

I moon o’er you, Inis Mona

As long as I breathe

I’ll call you my home

20 years I have walked your barrows

Years of emulous youth

I followed the path of the wise

There it all was sown

The inspiration

Removing the seven seals

There it was revealed

Enigma of freedom

Unclosing an unseen door

Inis Mona is the name of an isle.

Modern sciene assumes that the ancient Inis

Mona is todays Isle of Anglesey (in welsh still named Ynys Môn),

in the north of Wales.

A funny marginal note here;

this isle also has the

village with the longest place name in Britain, which is

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlllantysiliogogogoch).

On Inis Mona the

most relevant druid college of the Celtic world was established.

Celtic tribes from all over Europe sent their youth to that isle,

so that they could enjoy the highest druidic education, which took at least 20

years, by the way!- before they returned to their home countries and tribes to

serve there as druids.

Being a druid was one of the most important, honourable,

responsible, esteemed and maybe also most difficult professions in the Celtic

culture, being actually much more than just a profession, rather to be

described as a lifestyle, a vocation, a destiny.

However, our song deals with

an old and reputable gaulish druid in the eve of his life, looking back and

pondering over his life and days long gone.

Most of his life was spent serving

as a wise counsellor, lawyer, scientist, teacher, doctor, physician.

In other words: As druid at his clans chieftains court.

Being content with

that, he secretly still thinks back and moons over the years of his youth,

which he spent on Inis Mona during his education.

Years that have formed his

life forever.

Song to the moon in welsh sometimes called inys môn also an irish isle and name

given to very btave warriors who arrived home after a long and fatk war to

maintain their family honor.

Those men were always called berskiers or

wulgednars which was a bery high rank for tjey were blessed with the powers and

strenghtj of bears or moghty grey or red wolves.

Wolbes howled to the moon,

so wulfhednars shouted a very similar howl when they entered the battlefield.

Thw song recalls a story told by one of them to his son, a young warrior who

would inherit his fat
