He eventually found bassist Shawn Kasack, drummer Bill Parsons, and singer Christian Shulcze. The four recorded a demo called "Swords, Sorcery, and Science" and signed with the Italian based label Underground Symphony. With new singer Danny White on board, they released their debut, "Born of the Cauldron" in 1997. After a few years and a re-release of their demos along with some older demos of Bentley's, they released their follow-up to Born of the Cauldron in 2002. It was dubbed "...And Rome Shall Fall". It also had a new vocalist, David Louden. They played several festivals in the following years with live vocalist Zane Matthews, before officially splitting in 2003.

Dreaming With The Incubus
Cauldron Born Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When into the nightmare of lust she fell
Like the flower in November she could not surrender
Across the dark countryside she seemed to sail
She always walked in the light she was purer than white
For no one her head would turn
The young court magician his glance cast aside
Dreaming With
Dreaming With
Dreaming With
The Incubus
It was back in the time of Victorian splendor
When into the eternal sleep she fell
Like the Earth in December she could not surrender
And into the pitch of nighttime she sailed
Slipping into shadow slipping out of sight
Darkness provides what can't be given in light
She shivered at his touch his heart was cold
Not of the kind that flesh would hold
The lyrics of Cauldron Born's song Dreaming With The Incubus tell the tale of a woman who falls into a nightmare of lust during the Victorian era. The lyrics paint a picture of an innocent and pure woman who never had her head turned by anyone, until the young court magician came along. She fell deeply in love with the magician, but he ultimately ignored her advances, which caused her heart to burn. In her desperation, the woman ended up falling into the arms of the incubus, a demon who preys on women in their dreams, as she sailed across the dark countryside.
The second verse of the song shifts to the woman falling into eternal sleep, unable to surrender. The lyrics indicate that darkness provides what cannot be given in the light, suggesting that the woman found something in the incubus that she couldn't find in real life or in the light. The lyrics also suggest that the incubus's touch was both alluring and chilling, not the kind of touch that flesh would hold. This could indicate that the woman's experience with the incubus was both passionate and terrifying.
Overall, the lyrics of Dreaming With The Incubus tell a haunting narrative of a woman who falls into a dark and dangerous world, seeking love and passion but ultimately being consumed by it.

It was back in the time of Victorian splendor
Refers to a time of opulence and elegance in the Victorian era
When into the nightmare of lust she fell
She fell into a nightmare world of desire and passion
Like the flower in November she could not surrender
She couldn't give up her love like a doomed flower in winter
Across the dark countryside she seemed to sail
Her journey of love was mysterious and uncertain
She always walked in the light she was purer than white
She was pure and innocent, always staying in the light
For no one her head would turn
She was devoted to her love and wouldn't be swayed by others
The young court magician his glance cast aside
The court magician couldn't capture her heart
Her heart cast in flames to burn
Her heart was consumed with passionate love

The Incubus
Refers to the male demon thought to seduce humans in their sleep
It was back in the time of Victorian splendor
Refers to a time of opulence and elegance in the Victorian era
When into the eternal sleep she fell
She fell into a deep sleep, possibly symbolically representing death
Like the Earth in December she could not surrender
She couldn't give up her love and was as unyielding as the cold, barren Earth in winter
And into the pitch of nighttime she sailed
Her journey of love led her into the dark, mysterious unknown
Slipping into shadow slipping out of sight
She was slipping away from reality and becoming lost in the darkness
Darkness provides what can't be given in light
In the darkness, she found a type of love that couldn't exist in the world of light
She shivered at his touch his heart was cold
She was frightened by his embrace and realized his love was empty and soulless
Not of the kind that flesh would hold
His love was not physical or genuine, but rather something foreign and inhuman

My fellow brothers and sisters, this song speaks truly, we must remember what our ancestors went through so we could live. I am a druid, and even though I like many others are still persecuted, I listen to this song and remember that our ancestors died so that we could live. Now we can finally thank them, though still we are hunted in many places, we may now turn and say to our assailants that we defy them. Remember the Burning Times, and try to stop there coming again.

Every Time I hear this song the Goddess in me rises up and tears cannot stop coming from my eyes for all our brothers and sisters who lost their lives.

The saddest part is some places in the world Witchcraft and Paganism is still Persecuted. Here in Australia the laws were only lifted in some states as early as 2001. Before that you could still be arrested for practicing, though I have never heard of it being enforced though.

This song is good. There is an Iced Earth song also called Burning Times that deals with the same subject matter. Both are good.
