Former lead singer Emily Alice Ovenden is perhaps better known as a member of the classical acts the Mediæval Bæbes and Celtic Legend. Drummer Marc Dyos and guitarist Ross White, from one of UK’s foremost thrash metal projects Descent are joined by classical pianist Richard Holland on keys, Tim Neale (Faith of the Few) on lead guitar and Andy Nixon-Corfield on bass.
The name Pythia is derived from Ancient Greek mythology and describes the chosen one who operated as a vehicle for translating Apollo's will into the prophecies which ruled the people. This great oracle's name in turn came from the Python, the monstrous serpent which Apollo had slain. The original Pythia was a virgin but after a grotesque imposition on her chaste nature, later Pythias were chosen for their great knowledge of the arts and literature.
In a world consumed with religious conflict and political confusion, it is time for a new era in musical reverence - it is time to worship at the shrine of the Serpent Goddess. Pythia currently resides in London, delighting in wantonness, excess and fantasy.

Sarah
Pythia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What a night, what a city
Girl, U sho' is lookin' pretty
Tryin' 2 catch a cool one
Checkin' 4 a little fun
Sarah, oh Sarah, honey, is that U?
Got yo' good shoes on
Ribbon in your hair
That skirt ain't talkin' 2 long
I can see your underwear
Sarah, oh Sarah, honey, is that U?
I think it's U, baby
Hey!
Girl, I hate 2 be the one
2 tell U that your day is done
U best 2 get your shit and go'n
Or Tina won't be alone
I'd never raise my hand 2 U
No tellin' what my foot'll do
Ah, I'm kiddin' baby, that's a joke
Maybe I just got my heart broke
There's only one thing left 2 do
Sarah, oh Sarah, honey, is that U?
Is that U?
Yeah! Oh! Yeah! Ow! Ow! ...
Is that U, baby, is that U?
I think it's U
[Good, one more take]
The song "Sarah" by Pythia is a light-hearted and flirtatious tune about a man encountering a woman named Sarah in the city. The man takes notice of Sarah's appearance, complimenting her on her outfit, shoes, and hairstyle. He then uses playful and suggestive language, such as implying he can see her underwear, to capture her attention. However, he switches gears and warns her that her time is up and that she needs to leave to avoid running into Tina, who appears to be a more formidable presence. Through his humorous and teasing tone, it is revealed that the singer may have gone through a heartbreak or is looking for someone to fill a void.
