about
the story of the SEilke.
a shape shifting mythical seal creature of the Celtic past.
which could be captured if it's seal skin was taken and hidden from it after it had turned into a human being.
she fell in love with a handsome man, but he turned out to be cruel and kept her captive.
after years of pining for the sea she found where he hid her skin and fighting him for it, she killed him and returned to her family

lyrics
SEilke
Bana-phrionnsa na mara
(Princess of the sea)
Prionsanach na tire
(Prisoner of the land)
gaol toirmisgte
(forbidden love)
fada airson an dachaigh
(long for home)

she sits alone
at sunset's sorrow
dreaming of the ocean's dance
when in sealskin clothes she swam free and happy
the kyles and coastlines of her family's kingdom
she sings saddening songs of forbidden memories
of a wonderous site that she saw so long ago the image of a man
so handsome tall and graceful,
riding a wild bay on the beach
like a storm in her eyes
but desire has tricked her fate
and kept her prisoner of hate
a man so beautiful
yet so cruel
who stole her native skin
to keep her as a slave
in chains of unrequited love
she pines for her home
time will tell, when enough time passes,
when the anger overcomes
when it is time, to return to her true self
and when it is time to return to the water
on a dark winter's day she follows him
to a lost hidden cave
where long in her past he has hidden, her clothes of silken grey
were now he sits smiling, smiling like the devils pawn
with her freedom held tightly between his hands
confronting him he denies her
he derides her, lays spiteful fists upon her
crying out she begs for release
in fury in blood and in vengeance
with the last of her power she falls upon him
holds him hard beneath the water's cover
and watches the cold life leave him
in struggle and in fight
she will not give
she will not lose the light
she will choose to live
she will choose to be free
to swim the oceans deep once more
to return to those that bathe on the shore
princess of the sea
always to be free*
She sits on the rock, on the northern shoreline
Watching the duska nd sings songs of the sea

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sunsupported by 5 fans who also own “SEilke”
Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10.
