about

A take on the Welsh folklore of Mallt-y-Nos, the crone who rides with the Wild Hunt, keeper of the Hellhounds of Annwn (the underworld).

lyrics

Deep, in the bowels of Annwn, where the womb of Samhain lies
Walked the Norman lady, wise. Looking for a kill
For her hunt was due to roam the skies
Bringing those who died

CHORUS
If there's no hunting in Heaven, I'd rather not go

Let no beast escape me
Let my hounds rip and tear
Calls the lady as she rides
Leads her hordes with hellish cry
Eyeing the wrong soul

Now a hag, Matilda rides the night
The Wild Hunt to serve
Come, Matilda of the Night
Come with your hounds in rapture
Come Matilda of the Night
Seek the souls that you delight

(Matilda of the Night)

CHORUS
