lyrics

the rays of the sun
shine on our helmets at dawn

we take to the sea
to find the ancient one

pulling away, manning the oars
to know only strangeness
and distant shores

moon and the stars
shine their love upon our quest

we pray to the gods
our mission be blessed

to find the shining serpent
that plagues this land of men

to find him where he sleeps
and then we tear into his den

there he lays, still as death
under rock and stone
and dark and wet

there he lays, still as death
under rock and stone
and dark and wet

dark black sea at night
shining serpent takes to the sky
men prepare themselves to fight
and let their spears and arrows fly

snaps through the mast
the timber cracks
ship torn in half
poseidon's grasp

snaps through the mast
the timber cracks
ship torn in half
poseidon's grasp

poseidon's grasp

Born a Heavy Morning
by Ice Dragon

supported by 6 fans who also own “Poseidon's Grasp”

The doom metal is gone, but the original spirit of Ice Dragon is very much present! Anyone who thought Ice Dragon ended with Dream Dragon can DREAM ON! Metal or not, this record is heavy as the morning it was born on. Mitchfynde

Breakfast with the King b/w Deathwish
by Goatsnake

supported by 5 fans who also own “Poseidon's Grasp”

Both tracks here are better than everything on the Black Age Blues album, in my humble opinion. Deathwish is a change of style for Goatsnake, being in a much faster tempo, almost punky, still heavy as f*ck though, and incredibly catchy... love it! Master of Alchemy

Seeds From a Dying Garden

Un album complètement hors du temps... Quant à savoir où il se trouve ; impossible à dire. Nous savons juste le pourquoi de sa présence : pour nous embarquer quelque part, ailleurs, un peu avant ou après, vers l'horizon vierge, tout en haut de.... Poesy Rider
