The Light, the Dark and the
|
Fomorian lord ruled with an iron hand
Piracy maintained by this darkened god
Tyrannical reign, o'er Eireann's sons
Starve and shame, into submission one and all
Disciples of chaos - disrupting
Destroyer of order - dominating
Tipping the balance - oblivion
Extinguishing light - darkness
Dominate de Danann, strip away then pride
Threat them like tenants, there's no place to hide
A tribute collected, heads hung in disgrace
Hollow eyes of defeat, proud race losing face.
Balor - Evil Eye
One look - you will die
Balor - Evil Eye
Unleashed - strangled cry.
There's one spark amongst the dying embers
Born to ignite red passions raging
Lugh Samildeanach, true inspiration
Equilibrium by sword and sorcery.
Chaos king meets prince of light
Fulfilling omens of foresight
'Twas written blood must slay blood
Symbolic duel, redress the balance.
Sword of Light
Quell the darkness
Shield of order
Vanquish the chaos
Manipulating Earth's magic without giving in return
Consequences most dire, making even powerful men squirm
Mankind is forever the vermin infesting this world
Feel the sheer rage of Anu's retribution unfurled.
Eruption in the air - water cascading
Tilting of the land - mountains toppling
Winds whipping and lashing - hurricane
Screaming and raging - pouring rain
Rivers rising and rustling - tidal wave
Drowned bodies strewn - unmarked grave
Slowly suffocate the Goddess
Have you no conscience at all?
Doomsday bells are chiming
Anu regenerates, mankind falls
Global destruction, unprecedented scales
Disasters as natural as lady Anu's reign
Man has sown seeds of poison everywhere
Time for Anu to reap is now close at hand.
Cleansing her domain to prepare for millenniums new
Survival solution, all diseases must be cured
The elements always harken to Anu's call
Vengeance belongs to Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire
The Light, the Dark, and the Endless Knot
The light and the dark, a marriage eternal
Sundrenched, exultant, darkclad yet infernal
Chaos or order, evil or good
Definitions abound, clear cut yet confusing.
Birth, youth, maturity, and death
Wheel of life keeps turning
Immortal species spiralling forever
Can never unravel the endless knot.
Perceptions - one man's dream
Perceptions - another man's nightmare
Perceptions - follow your own path
Perceptions - countless possibilities
Give way to instinctive urges
Alter ego wells within
Reaction to the conscience
A force too powerful to deny
Try to pacify the rage
Darker side is part of you
A device for your survival
Essential, not altogether evil.
Ofttimes I dance in the light
On occasion I stalk the dark
Light and dark, day and night
My soul enshrined, dual delight.
Who can say what is light and what is dark?
Mankind perceives life to satisfy his own desires
Yet, the wheel turns, the seasons fall And unabated the knot continues its
endless journey
Of life and death.
Responsibility is the last thing on his mind
Identity crisis enforced by his peers
Got to run away to save freedom of choice
Cheating destiny to alleviate leadership fears.
Wasting time to sate his selfish desires
Disconnecting all ties with what has went before
Not one man will die under his command
Constant dilemma, chilling to the core.
And by an amazing twist of fate
All paths lead to destiny
Irreversible situation arising
No honourable man would flee.
He was birthed beneath a waxing moon
Beltaine's festival of fire the time
The wise and holy men proclaimed
That all the signs were prophecied
To rule was preordained
Written in the stars
To rule was preordained
Magic in the air
To rule was preordained
Born to reign
To rule was preordained
Born to rule
Enforced training from his youth
Time to face inevitable truth
To be the fire attracting the flies
His enemies come and many will die
Black id the Morrigan on this plain
Dark is her aspect, no remorse or shame
Washer at the ford for those who can see
The crone and the hag, goddess trinity.
Goddess of war, denizen of death
Seeker of souls,
She awaits your last breath...
Nightmare visions, choked with the bodies of the slain
Rivers run red, ravens alight on mounds of lifeless forms
Feasting horribly on carrion and broken bones,
Once proud men, someone's sons and brothers all.
Where now is the glory in your war
No glory in your war
No glory in the grave
Hear the shriek of the Morrigan
As she circles preparing to dine,
To dine upon the slaughtered souls
To feast on fresh dead flesh
Triumphant scream of ecstasy
Exultant in the misery
Wallow in the pain
Putrid stench of entrails and emptied bowels
Morrigan's minions glut on unseeing eyes
A picture painted in detail so obscene
Morrigan greets all those souls who die.
Eternal war she craves
Battles unceasing
Combatants increasing
Sweet stench of blood on the wind
Dishevelled warriors, expressions grotesque
Dismembered bodies, expressions grotesque
Her in her glory, goddess of war
Her in her glory, Morrigan's domain.
Chaos - signs in the sky
Ruins - seas will rise
Drowning - a watery grave
Demise - immortals to die
After the fall
Atlantis sunk not killing them all
After the fall
Lords of foresight did flee
After the fall
Knowledge gathered aeons old
After the fall
Preserve all illuminated lore
On crafts of mystic arts they came
Borne by the wind
On the crest of a wave they rode
Children of the sun
Across the oceans East and West
Seeking chosen lands
To be guide to the race of man
Welcome magical fleet
Be they of the Heavens
Be they of the Earth
Be they sons of demons
Be they sons of Hulk Hogan
Wherever they go, civilization will grow
Enlightened thoughts, pupils to be taught
Figures of awe, deities to be
Chosen emerald shore, De Danann roar!!
Come sit with me
In this circle of stones
And dream
Journey with me.
Hear the leaves they rustle
See but cannot really see
A presence in a dependent slumber
Alike a door without a key.
Seeking, searching
Doubt an emotion I now leave behind
Seeking, searching
Fear an emotion I no longer comprehend.
Music primal and soaring
Drumbeat of the universe
Eerie cosmic winds singing
The sighing of unborn stars.
Focused to the ultimate point of trance
I march to the tune of eternity's dance.
I navigate my own flight
Engrained thoughts, my insight
To leave behind my earthly shell
Delve deep within my depthless well.
Flying through the astral plain
Unsure if you're insane
Echoes from the world of man
Dizzying distortions of space and time
Time has no meaning anymore
Begin to forget from whence you've come
Allow true power of thought to create
That which is reflected in your hear
I was the seeker
Many paths I have thread
I know now reality
Not what I've read.
I am the master of my own mind
I am the master of my own destiny
There are many nations in this wide wide world
There are many religions in this wide wide world
Some people they worship, and others they do not
Some worship in private, others ram it down your throat!!
The waste is so terrible which has eaten at our hearts
The land has been tarnished, old beliefs have been robbed
Religions of past millennium, mythomania and fear Replacing ancient deities,
with their false gods.
A thousand witches died
So they burnt ten thousand more
Heretics become fair game
Anointed in their own blood
No rhyme or no reason
For their self obsessive beliefs
Utter contempt to their faith
We'll neither forgive nor forget.
They spread their disease throughout many a nation
With their silvery tongues, they established their lies
The life that was noble, so fierce and so proud
Has been stolen from us, truth and honour denied.
Brainwashed of the Nazarene, zealots of Islam
Believe or be damned, obey the great scam
Plague of the Ages, decaying man's soul
Eternal stagnation, their selfish goal
Are you the one to obey the great scam??

Reawakening Pride Once Lost
|
Radiance
Dazzling brilliance
Shine upon another day
Lugh, O God of the Sun
God of the Sun
Burning fire
Sustaining life
Lugh, O God of the Sun
O God of the Sun
Help, help us face
Help us face the dawn
Face, face, face the dawn
Face, face, face the dawn.
Blooded to the battle
Born to the fight
Sowed in the soul
Thrill of the fight
Taking no prisoners
To die for a cause
Honour and glory
To win without loss
Prowess and power
Stealth and speed
Practice of combat
Take pain without heed
Boundless endurance
Man without peer
Natural instincts
Stay alive through it all
The world was young
The laws were true
To kill or be killed
The Laws of the Land
These men were proud
And true to their word
Not modern day cowards
Who kill in cold blood
A brooch upon his ample chest
Bedecked in simple splendour
Glistening fear upon his brow
His mouth as dry as bone
Sharpened sword his father bore
Strapped to his side so proud
Virgin blood enters the fray
Onward to fatal embrace
And with a sound like the heavens bursting asunder
Shield upon shield
Blade upon blade
Flash of spear
Lifeblood flowing
And in the midst of it all
Pungent stench of fear
With veins afire
I will kill
With veins afire
I will maim
With veins afire
I exalt in the letting of blood
With veins afire
I revel in the crimson spray
The heart knows how it feels to beat wings like a bee
Darkening mists which make it much clearer to see
Nothing can halt the dance while he is in motion
To overcome tastes to him sweeter than any potion
Glistening scarlet globules leaving tralls upon the air
Savage and unyielding, maim and overcome
Grisly sense of satisfaction, my dark side reigns.
O'er the seven hills of Macha
In an age now passed by
Lived a people once forgotten
Beneath an ancient sky
For protection they had warriors
Unsurpassed on Eireann's shore
Warriors of the Craobh Rua
An eternal name in lore
The Rí he Dwelt at Emain
Ard-Rí of Ulaidh's Land
The people they had Plenty
Under Ard-Rí's Mighty Hand
Cruinneach in your arrogance
And boastfulness and pride
Evoking a curse
Upon your own kind
Curse of a woman!
Due to man's boastfulness
And the follyness of man
Man, may yet pay due
A curse I place on you
A curse I place on you
A weakness like a woman near her time
Once in every cycle, Ulaidh's strength
Will fail to shine, fail, fail to shine
Man may yet pay due
A curse I place on you
A curse I place on, curse I place on you
But in Ulaidh's hour of need
Mighty Lugh did pay heed
He begot a son at Brú na Bóinne
Under a sign of great tragedy
Setanta as a boy, as a boy, as a boy
Cú Chulainn, as a man, as a man, as a man
Standing alone against Connaught's might
One against all, the eternal fight
Champions they came
Champions they did fall
Standing alone
Cú chulainn, slew them all!
For the pride of Emain Macha, Emain Macha, Emain Macha
For the pride of Emain Macha, Emain Macha, Emain Macha
For the pride of Emain Macha, Emain Macha, Emain Macha
Pride of Emain Macha
That special seat of power
In this modern world of nightmares
We all need our majestic dreams
Drift back to an era now gone
Kindred spirits fought to overcome
Druids held sway over kings
And the thrill of the hunt prevailed
People were one with the land
And harmony reigned in the cycle of life
I too am of the earth
Celtic fire burns in my veins
I too am a warrior born
I fight the pain and misery
My Ancestors Light my Path
My spirit, forever flys free
Almost any path is secret
Until you've travelled it yourself
Universal powers abound
Try to choose the right path
A stairway to a higher plain
Live for this world and the next
The standing stones
The stone circles
A life so complex
Yet so simple
Once upon an era
I enter the fray ungrieving
In my heart of hearts believing
That the path of many futures
I will await Stoicly
Enduring the endless knot
My belief will see me through
Celtic fire!! Warrior born!!
As the dark clouds they do gather
I sing my last lament
For the ravens they do gather
My strength is almost spent
My life force it disperses
My blood lies in the sand
The Darkness now Descends
My Death is Close at Hand
My Death is Close at Hand
The Gae Bolga, my companion
I have put my trust in thee
But the darkness of the grave
Claims us all, eventually
I bid farewell to my loved ones
They and my kinsmen, please remember me
Through sacred Lugh, my father
My name will never die
The deeds I have achieved
Insures my name amongst my brothers
Throughout the sacred green of Éireann
My name will echo in the valleys
Cú Chulainn Hound of Ulster
Cú Chulainn Bane of Medhabh
Cú Chulainn Hound of Ulster
Cú Chulainn Champion of men
Son of an immortal
Immortal he shall be
Journey to the otherworld
To live eternally
From Emain Macha
To Tara's hall
Your name will live as legend
And to your memory
I give a toast
Dwell with the fairy host
A farewell to a hero
Your mortal days are gone
Your soul now doth fly
As free as the sun
I domhan anseo nach bhfuil anseo
I chnoic draíochta, ag cónaí go saor
Daoine alainn, tuatha dé danann
Is Rí Na Sídhe
An Rí, An Rí, Rí Na Sídhe
Rí, Rí, Rí Na Sídhe
Truth, the root of the tongue
Wisdom, the breath of speech
Secrets untold, guarded forever
Shared with only the gifted few
Keen of knowledge, clear of vision
Earth's all consuming passion
Vital being to a life
Ruled by laws of the universe
Serenity beyond definition
Tranquility beyond words
Bold in righteousness
Valiant in justice
Valiant in justice
In the sacred grove at nighttime
Rites performed, so divine
Invoking the power of the gods
Within constraints of Nature's laws
And in the stones
The circle of stones
Activating power
And from the earth
And the air
And the universe
Gods are answering
Answer my call
Answer my call
Truth, the root of the tongue
Wisdom, the breath of speech
Secrets untold, guarded forever
Shared with only the gifted few
In the sacred grove at nighttime
Rites performed, so divine
Invoking the power of the gods
Within constraints of Nature's laws
Tonight we feast
O brothers of my clan
Tonight we feast
O brothers of my blade
Let there be drinking
Eating of flesh
Let there be boasting
Tales to be heard
Let there be gloating
Counting of heads
Raise a toast
To Victory!
Adorned with our sacred woad
Armed with our keen edged swords
Scream aloud our battle cry
Bua nó bás!! Bua nó bás!!
See our enemies tremble with fear
Bua nó bás!! Bua nó bás!!
Scream aloud our battle cry
Bua nó bás!! Bua nó bás!!
See our enemies tremble with fear
Bua nó bás!! Bua nó bás!!
Our foes are vanquished
Time to make merry
Raise your alehorns
And hear the toast
On the battlefield
Our comrades our lying
Dedicate our victory
To their memory
A mystery around me
Emanating from the land
Only true kindred spirits
May even hope to understand
A voice I hear which is calling out to me
A message all around when my mind is free
Speaking in whispers thrown from the wind
Out from my surroundings calling out to me
Daunted by the canopy of green
A blaze of blue and emerald fire
A finer sight I've rarely seen
And I dine on awe alone
Swirling shadows
Dance upon the water still
And sky and cloud vie for prominence
On the surface calm
A lone deed
Creating ripples alike waves
And all along the surface
Now consequence in journey
I breathe - I feel my lungs
I breathe - I feel my soul
I breathe - I feel alive
I am alive!
Green surrounds me
The wind in my hair
Fast flowing waters
The hills and the vales
Ignited by passion
Most purest by far
My life I now fashion
I live for his hour
Free to live
Free to roam
Free to think
Free as the wind
Elation I feel
So hard to comprehend
As i stand alone
Upon Anú's land
I have come home
I have been found
The way it once was
Is as it shall be
