about
BOG BODIES’ new single FIRELIGHTERS is an inspired and cinematic encapsulation of their patented “Druid Rock” sound, that bridges genre and generational divides. The music takes you on a visceral, sonic journey, with lush instrumentation, a driving groove and a captivating lyrical narrative. BOG BODIES are in perfect form on FIRELIGHTERS and the energy and innovation are both intoxicating and undeniable. FIRELIGHTERS is the first of a 3-single campaign that will pave the way to their debut album, RECLAIM THE RITUAL, out later in 2022.
lyrics
FIRELIGHTERS
Once we were High Kings, Of all that you see
From the great mountain, to the wild sea,
T’was greed betrayed, that buried me,
Deep in the wetlands, for an eternity
Firelighters, We are Firelighters.
No hunger troubles, nor do I thirst,
Preserved by the black soil, it must be a curse
That still I remain lucid, as if in a dream
This endless stagnation, to me seems obscene
Firelighters, We are firelighters.
My final desire, in this liminal space,
Is to once more feel fire, warm my face,
Time seems illusionary, no start and no end,
We must break this stasis, for to ascend
Bog Bodies are a heavy folk outfit (often dubbed “Bog Rock” or “Druid Rock”) formed by Irish singer-songwriter and
archaeologist Dan Maher. Their genre-bending, high-energy folk sound is inspired by their close study and appreciation of ancient culture, pulling songs from the ether during visits to megalithic tombs and other ancient sites.

Beautiful Pagan Folk music, that tells beautiful stories. You won't find many that do music like this any more. I also love the Celtic and Norse themes stormfay
Brilliant as always! Love it... from the cover to the entire presentation. One cannot help but be moved when listening to your music and stories. Thank you for sharing your gift. Looking forward to the release of the rest of the album! Kelly Ford
