about

Cimmeria is our home, the northern Black Sea region, as the ancient Greeks called it. When we wrote this track, we had a clear association with Robert E. Howard's Cimmeria, so we took a fragment of his eponymous poem.

"At one time, Konan was called the leader of the Cossacks from the Zaporozhka River"

Unfortunately, because of war, not all members of the band were able to take part in the recording of this track.

lyrics

It was so long ago and far away
I have forgot the very name men called me.
The axe and flint-tipped spear are like a dream,
And hunts and wars are shadows. I recall
Only the stillness of that sombre land;
The clouds that piled forever on the hills,
The dimness of the everlasting woods.
Cimmeria, land of Darkness and the Night.

It was so long ago and far away
I have forgot the very name men called me.
Oh, soul of mine, born out of shadowed hills,
To clouds and winds and ghosts that shun the sun,
How many deaths shall serve to break at last
This heritage which wraps me in the grey
Apparel of ghosts? I search my heart and find
Cimmeria, land of Darkness and the Night.

Robert E. Howard
