Their first effort featured fluent and melodic songs, layered with mellotron, often in combination with sensitive electric guitar work. The echoes from Yes are obvious: lots of vocal harmonies, a Chris Squire-like bass, Wakemanesque keyboards and even the high-pitched vocals like Jon Anderson. But Druid's music was less complex and virtuosic, their pleasant sound appeals to many, more than the 24-carat Yes-clone Starcastle. Fluid Druid was in the vein of their first but less mature.

Doom
Druid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Days pass, hate never dies
Void inside you, who's to blame?
Just sad memories now remain
Need to escape, years still rollin' strafe
Your dreams are still locked safe
You can find new meaning view
Staring lights of future past
Almost peak 'em stare at rust
Gain conscious, wide your senses
Lit up your mind with our knowledge verses
Get on board, and sail with us
Through the seas, filled with blood
Row ten miles, gonna tie up soon
Sailing with us on our warship of doom
Shadows of slums are darken' minds
Gaze all over fog of times
Drench your brain in pregnant wisdom
Drip insane, a drowning vision
Planes of monolithic stones
As death surrounds you all as whole
Get on board, and sail with us
A thousand souls, here we are
An howling suite, gonna wake up soon
Sailing with us on our warship of doom
Get on board, and sail with us
Time is close, red tide will come
On our lousy vessel: rebirth, exhume
Y' all are welcome, our journey o' doom
The lyrics to Druid's song "Doom" depict a life filled with darkness, monotony, and hatred. The singer feels a void within themselves and is left wondering who is to blame for their current state. All that remains are sad memories, and there is a desire to escape this cycle as the years continue to pass. The dreams that the singer holds dear are still locked away, unreachable.
However, there is a glimmer of hope within these lyrics. The idea that one can find new meaning buried deep inside themselves is presented. By looking within, they can discover a new perspective and purpose. The lights of the future and the past are seen as something to be observed and learned from, almost to the point of obsession. In gaining consciousness and expanding their senses, the singer is encouraged to enlighten their mind with the knowledge presented in the verses of the song.
The lyrics then introduce the concept of sailing on a warship of doom. This warship represents a metaphorical journey towards liberation. The shadows of the slums, representing the hardships and struggles of life, have darkened the minds of many. The fog of time creates a sense of uncertainty and confusion. However, the singer encourages others to immerse themselves in wisdom, even if it may drive them to the point of insanity. They reference monolithic stones, symbolizing the weight of death that surrounds everyone.
In the final stanza, the invitation to join this journey on the warship of doom is reiterated. The singer tells listeners to get on board and sail with them. They speak of a looming red tide, signifying an impending change or shift in the world. This journey is regarded as a rebirth, an opportunity to exhume oneself from the burdens of the past. The lyrics emphasize that all are welcome, inviting others to join in this voyage filled with uncertainty but also potential liberation and transformation.

Days pass, hate never dies
Time keeps moving forward, but feelings of hatred linger on
Void inside you, who's to blame?
There is an emptiness within you, but it's unclear who is responsible
Just sad memories now remain
Only melancholic memories are left behind
Need to escape, years still rollin' strafe
Feeling the urge to break free from this cycle as time continues to pass
Your dreams are still locked safe

You can find new meaning view
There is a possibility of discovering a fresh perspective
Buried inside, will find it too
It is hidden within, waiting to be discovered

Enduring a long and challenging journey that will soon come to an end
Sailing with us on our warship of doom
Joining us on our vessel that embodies doom and destruction
Shadows of slums are darken' minds
The despair and poverty in society cast a shadow over people's thoughts
Gaze all over fog of times
Looking through the mist of history
Drench your brain in pregnant wisdom
Soak your mind in profound knowledge
Drip insane, a drowning vision
Slowly losing sanity, overwhelmed by a haunting vision
Planes of monolithic stones
Enigmatic formations of colossal rocks
As death surrounds you all as whole
The presence of death looms over everyone completely
A thousand souls, here we are
A gathering of numerous spirits, united in this place
An howling suite, gonna wake up soon
A haunting melody that will soon rouse everyone
Time is close, red tide will come
The passage of time is nearing its climax, and a period of upheaval is imminent
On our lousy vessel: rebirth, exhume
Within our unremarkable ship, a process of renewal and unearthing takes place
Y' all are welcome, our journey o' doom
All are invited to join us on this ominous voyage

Doom is great when using a cold sunder charm and Nightwing's Veil. Also Fortitude as the armor, and Metalgrid for +AR. This is my build 👌
You can max out Fury too, instead of werewolf or lycanthropy.
@dedeath
cool build. Im doing something similar using hurricane and 1 point fury, but im using voice of reason or rift for frozen orb procs and using a headhunters glory shield with 3 cold facets in it (too poor for jmod haha). Rift has higher level frozen orb procs but voice of reason has -24% cold resistance which helps hurricane of course. I may pick up a doom as well and see how it works out... maybe putting it in a berserker axe so you can equip a faceted shield as well for even more -cold res?
@theicemanye
HELLYEAHH
@fabioc.9682
do yourself a favor: don't make Doom on a berserker axe. the durability is terrible and you'll have to reaper every 4 minutes using fast Fury.
@rapmaster010
You should do Destruction rune word In PB, And max the synergies for each skill that casts on hit... Super op with Flick flame, Gores , Coh or Fort , High lords, Pheonix shield Dracs/Loh (lots of damage comes from elemental) Infinity , Faith or Decrep Merc, Fill in the rest with melee gear. Super strong build nobody is talking about. Try it out. Youll be suprised.
@theicemanye
omgt i gotta try that
@rapmaster010
@@theicemanye And pre cast armegdadon too max that too, Rest stats into SS, Blessed aim merc if u dont max Lycanthropy
@TimJBucci
Doesn't seem like a chill effect on top of a chill effect would create more chill effects. Now chill effects + slow target % would stack, sure.
I think my least favorite thing about it is durability. I mean, with wolf I always aim for an indestructible weapon, lest you have to repair your weapon every 1 or 2 zones.
@theicemanye
thank u; yea non indestructable sucks
@Zingo89
When I was playing nado dru i noticed my hurricane was killing stuff sometimes and that was just with normal caster gear + some ele sks, I wonder how strong u could get hurricane if u tried to min/max it with nightwings like u said, maybe 4x RBF monarch, infinity merc etc! could be cool test for the research institution
