(Verse 1)
Wheels of bronze on ancient ground
The goddess’ power, unbound and crowned
Between two beasts of tusk and might
She rides, commanding day and night
(Chorus)
Hail the Sovereign of the land
Chariot rolling, sword in hand
Mythical creatures bow in awe
To she who rules by ancient law
(Verse 2)
The boars bow, their trunks raised high
Paying homage to she who rules the sky
Griffins and hounds at her command
Guardians fierce of sea and land
(Chorus)
Hail the Sovereign of the land
Chariot rolling, sword in hand
Mythical creatures bow in awe
To she who rules by ancient law
(Verse 3)
Roar of battle, clash of steel
Before her might, all foes must kneel
The Gundestrup vision, stark and bold
Epic tales of power untold
(Chorus)
Hail the Sovereign of the land
Chariot rolling, sword in hand
Mythical creatures bow in awe
To she who rules by ancient law
(Verse 4)
Metal and magic intertwine
In this image, sacred and divine
The goddess reigns with martial grace
Over time, over death, over space
(Chorus x2)
Hail the Sovereign of the land
Chariot rolling, sword in hand
Mythical creatures bow in awe
To she who rules by ancient law
This piece is a tribute to one of the most powerful images from Celtic antiquity: the “goddess on the chariot” depicted on the Gundestrup Cauldron.
This majestic figure, surrounded by mythological animals as symbols of power, embodies the idea of sovereignty that transcends time, death and space. Her presence echoes an era when the divine and mortal merged into a single reality, a theme we’ve tried to explore through our music.

The panel presents a symmetrical arrangement centered on a female bust with long hair and a torque, accompanied by pairs of mythical animals on the sides and a clawed animal at the bottom
We celebrate a feminine figure of power who simultaneously embodies both earthly and divine nature. This duality draws deeply from ancient Celtic cultures, where feminine power wasn’t viewed as separate from or subordinate to masculine authority, but rather as a fundamental cosmic force.
Lyrics
The track celebrates themes of power, authority, and divinity, fused with mythological elements. The goddess is presented as a figure of absolute power, moving on a chariot in a remote era. Her energy is free and crowned, symbolizing an uncontaminated force.
- Invocation and Tribute to the Sovereign: her position “between two beasts of tusk and might” emphasizes her dominion over primordial forces and the balance between opposites, a recurring iconographic element in Celtic representations. The chorus is an invocation to the sovereign. The image of the “chariot rolling, sword in hand” embodies her determination and indomitable spirit, echoing the image of the goddess on the cauldron’s plate.
- Respect and Deference of Mythical Animals: the bowing “mythical creatures” demonstrate that her power is recognized by all, and animals such as boars, griffins, and dogs are often associated with Celtic deities. Her position as “she who rules the skies” emphasizes her transcendental nature, a concept present in many ancient mythologies, combined with the role of “guardians fierce of sea and land” highlighting her protective function.
- Dynamism and Battle: the text evokes battle scenes, reflecting the warrior aspect attributed to Celtic female deities: the expression “before her might, all foes must kneel” reaffirms her supremacy.
- Fusion of Material and Spiritual Power: the final verse summarizes the central message: the union of “metal and magic” indicates the fusion between material and spiritual power, a key concept in Celtic art, and we emphasize the goddess’s dominion “over time, over death, over space“, just as can be interpreted from the female figure represented on the Gundestrup cauldron. The figure is thus presented as eternal and universal, and her power is not limited by earthly laws.
The Musical Atmosphere
The composition opens with a majestic symphonic intro where brass and strings interweave to announce the arrival of the goddess on her chariot.
The piece develops through powerful guitar riffs, built on rhythmic patterns that mimic the mighty gallop of the divine chariot. These riffs, characterized by an urgent pulse and ascending harmonic progression, create a sense of unstoppable movement, as if we were witnessing the goddess’s passage through the dimensions of time and space.
The symphonic orchestration constantly intertwines with power metal elements and create an ethereal sonic tapestry that merges with guitar distortions. This fusion of classical and metal elements generates an atmosphere that oscillates between sacred and earthly, reflecting the dual nature of Celtic divinity.
The emotional climax is reached in the chorus, where the lyrical voice rises with epic power above the instrumental weave. The singing transforms the musical narrative into an ode that transcends time to celebrate the goddess’s eternal presence.
In conclusion, Celtic peoples recognized female sovereigns as divine incarnations on earth, manifested through powerful goddesses like Epona, Macha, and the Morrígan. These figures exercised their authority over both material and spiritual realms, transcending artificial boundaries between secular and sacred power. Our work seeks to capture this profound understanding of feminine sovereignty – embracing both the nurturing aspects of Mother Earth and the fierce strength of the warrior queen. Ancient Celtic wisdom offers a compelling alternative to subsequent patriarchal power structures, reminding us of an era when feminine power was recognized as a vital force that united, rather than divided, spiritual and temporal spheres.
