Where Evil Rides Lyrics

Wake up and pack your belongings
For our plan has failed
We made our way into Annuvin, yet to no avail
The cauldron is gone from the dark halls
And Arawn's in hate
Who stole it to nobody is known
New plans must be made

Adaon:
Ride off to Caer Cadarn, hold council again
We must find the cauldron, searching all the lands
Beware Arawn's huntsmen, they'll be on our heels
Heed my words and warnings, darkness never kneels

Ellidyr:
I will not run but stand as a man
Your hearts lack courage but I'll not give in
For all the glory that is in this quest
I'll give my life, never rest

Taran, Eilonwy, Gurgi, Flewddur, Ellidyr, Adaon:
Where evil rides we must follow
Or there will be no tomorrow
Where has the black cauldron gone
The spies of Arawn will blacken the sun

Adaon:
Huntsmen come

Ellidyr:
And now there will be no retreating

Adaon:
We can't run

Gurgi:
Gurgi fights with bruises and beatings

Adaon:
Do not slay

Taran:
If one is killed his strength
Will be gained by his unholy friends

Adaon:
No mercy

Eilonwy:
We cannot win, we are outnumbered

Adaon:
We must flee

Flewddur:
Evil has woken from its slumber

Adaon:
Far away

Taran:
Though we managed to outrun them
We'll never know where this ends

Eiddileg:
Hear what the fair folk discovered
The cauldron is there, deep in the marshes of Morva
Where no man would dare
Orddu and Orwen and Orgoch, enchantresses old
It's in their hands pale and wicked
Won't trade it for gold

Taran:
What are we to do now, go seek the cauldron
Or to Caer Cadarn to unite with Gwydion

Adaon:
This is a decision which I will not make
But follow you, Taran, either road you'll take

Taran:
So to the marshes leads our way
We can't allow further delay

Adaon:
So be it, with you we will be
As long as my eyes can see
Huntsmen come
Again they found us, no more flying
We can't run
This time we must fight, no denying
Stand and slay
Though this is the last day I will see I will never give in

Dreams come true
They'll lead the huntsmen away from us
For me and you
Go on and do not mourn this loss
To this day
I knew that it would happen just like in all my dreams
I have seen
You'll lead them on, what I owned shall be thine
Bear this brooch well and you'll know in due time
Carry its secrets close to your heart

Taran:
Thus we mourn the loss of the greatest of bards
On we must march, Morva awaits
Through all the wind and storm
We will enter the witches' gates
Ellidyr

Gurgi:
Poor prince vanished before the fighting

Taran:
Where is he

Eilonwy:
He left to gain honour in finding

Taran:
Lost in pride

Gurgi:
Poor Gurgi and his poor and tender head
Shall not miss him at all

Taran:
Dreams at night
The brooch it speaks to me so gently, on we ride
Through lands I've never seen so pretty, side by side
The marshes must be near
I can hear the cauldron's call
