Lord Randal (Child Ballad 12)Traditional - Arranged by Cold Iron Ballads

Lord Randal (Child Ballad 12) Traditional - Arranged by Cold Iron Ballads (Modern English adaptation) One of the most widely known English and Scottish ballads, recorded here in a modern arrangement. In its traditional form, Lord Randal unfolds through a dialogue between a mother and her son who returns home after a fatal meal shared with a lover. As the questions continue, the truth emerges slowly: the food was poisoned, and death is already on its way. This version preserves the structure of the original ballad while translating its quiet revelation into a restrained account of betrayal and inevitability. Each question brings the story closer to what cannot be undone, and the answers arrive with the calm of something already decided. Here, the tragedy is not discovered all at once — it is spoken into the room, one question at a time.
