R.I.P. Sir Terry Jones. What a perfect voice he had for this band, was like a cross of Ian Anderson & Ozzy which is perfect because PA sounds like Tull mixed with Sabbath. And Iommi was the lead guitarist in Tull, at least for a minute or two, ha.
It's okay to acknowledge influences, but let's acknowledge Terry and co. for being extremely unique as well, nobody can replicate Terry's vocals or Alan's guitar, the rest of the crew is top shelf as well. Even the new singer of Pagan Altar, he's really good, but cannot replicate the eeriness / epicness of Terry.
Somehow this video really captures and portrays the erieness and otherworldliness of Pagan Altar's music. Alan's guitar work really conjures the twilight world of the vampires whilst Terry tells us their tales. Terry's voice and lyrical writing are in a class of their own. He is one of a kind and sorely missed. Hail to the Pagan Altar! Here's hoping Terry is still relaying his stories in next world.
Lengthening shadows, mark the end of another day And then enters into a twilight world Where the Vampire hold sway Dusk falls like a curtain, to welcome in the night And the rising moon beckons them again To join in the dance of death Awakening figures, in answer to the call Resplendent in all their finery As they file into the hall The mirror holds no reflection Of this entourage of dead And the dust lays undisturbed, on the floor To bear no witness to the dance of death Crinoline dresses and brocade coats of gold Minuet in the candle light, as the grandeur unfolds Down through many centuries They've learned their steps so well To move and sway so gracefully To the orchestra from hell To the strains of the dance of death To feed upon the living Is their object and desire And they care not For the material things of life The dance is just a prelude A matinee before the morn As they scatter to the four winds To return before the dawn They don't see the cobweb portals Where time has passed them by Or the rat-infested catacombs Of the vaults where they lie The dance is just a prelude A matinee before the morn As they scatter to the four winds To return before the dawn
I feel a folky vibe from this song, almost like they borrowed the original tune or at least we're influenced by a folk song of some kind, most likely a folk dance. This is certainly a ballad anyway.
Very underrated band. One of the best bands ever, for sure ❤🎸👌🏻

Perfect combination of music and images. Thank you for the video 🤘
Long live Pagan Altar!!
The Fearless Vampire killers!
Lengthening shadows, mark the end of another day
And then enters into a twilight world
Where the Vampire hold sway
Dusk falls like a curtain, to welcome in the night
And the rising moon beckons them again
To join in the dance of death
Awakening figures, in answer to the call
Resplendent in all their finery
As they file into the hall
The mirror holds no reflection
Of this entourage of dead
And the dust lays undisturbed, on the floor
To bear no witness to the dance of death
Crinoline dresses and brocade coats of gold
Minuet in the candle light, as the grandeur unfolds
Down through many centuries
They've learned their steps so well
To move and sway so gracefully
To the orchestra from hell
To the strains of the dance of death
To feed upon the living
Is their object and desire
And they care not
For the material things of life
The dance is just a prelude
A matinee before the morn
As they scatter to the four winds
To return before the dawn
They don't see the cobweb portals
Where time has passed them by
Or the rat-infested catacombs
Of the vaults where they lie
The dance is just a prelude
A matinee before the morn
As they scatter to the four winds
To return before the dawn
Great song, great movie, beautiful lady
