2. | Rise of Lugh | 05:53 | Show lyrics |
Upon the Horizion,The Tower of glass stands tall Balor of the evil eye ,watchs over all The sons of nemed attacked with the power of druid spells A great wave swallowed them and took them to the depths A Druid told Balor,he would fall to a grandson he sent his only daughter ,Ethlinn away into the tower of glass Twelve women put there to guard and protect To never see or hear the name of a man and to grow beautifull. Cian, Goibniu and Samthainn Three brothers of the tuatha de danann Residing at Druim na Teine The Ridge of the fire Guarding the glas gaibhnenn Who’s milk would never fail From the theiving hordes that coveted her. Balor had set his eyes on it as well Turning into a Young boy he tricked Samthainn and as the brothers quarelled about the iron and steel He left the forge,snatched the cow and crossed the sea. Cian traveled to the Mountains to find the druid Birog She dressed him as a woman and sent him across the sea in a gust of wind...... As they entered the tower of glass Birog put a spell of sleep upon them, Cian found Ethlinn and she gave herself to him But by the winds,he was sent away And Ethlinn bore a son!! Balor found out and a fear grew on him He sent his people to put the child in cloth and to secure it with a pin Balor commanded that the child ,be tossed into the sea As the waves crashed,tumbled and fell A newborn thought to have drowned The one prophesised ,to end the tyrants reign.... Birog saved the child and brought him to Cian and he sent him to Taillte,Daughter of the Great Plain Thus Lugh was born and a saga began.. |

3. | In the Halls of Nuada | 05:06 | Show lyrics |
Lugh went to Nuada, of the Silver Arm At the Great Feast of Temhair,Celestial fires burn bright I am Lugh son of Cian and Ethlinn What are you skilled in Master of all arts? I am champion,carpenter,harper and smith I am magician ,poet and cupbearer, Nuada challenged him to a game of chess And ever game played Lugh won None like him have entered here,His face as bright as the sun Lugh took the throne for thirteen days ,and not a day more. To fight against the fomor!! Lugh went to Grellach Dollaid with the Dagda ,Nuada and Ogma To make plans and wage war on the fomor The place was called"The Whisper of the Men of Dea" The council broke for three long years Lugh traveled to the Sons of Manannan To Prepare for War! Nuada held a great assembly At the hill of Uisneach The Warriors gathering grasping their spears and shields And over the hills came a brightnes Like that of the setting sun to the west Lugh and the Riders of the Sidhe Galloping over the plains On Manannans Horse Aonbharr Swift as the wind,and strong as the sea In the distance messangers Nine times nine of the fomor come forth Looking for tax’s and fines From the men of ireland Four of the most foul fomori Eine,Eathfaigh Coron and Compar Bringers of Dread A rage came onto Lugh As he grabbed the Answerer And watched as the De Danann rose for the fomor A fire in his eyes That could not be quenched Anger rose in him He brought a fight to them and the ildanach said! "Why do you rise up before that surly, slovenly troop, when you did not rise up before us?" |

4. | A Warning to Balor | 03:49 | Show lyrics |
As the winds blow across Uisneach Lugh prepares to attack Driving the fomorians back to their lands To send a message of war to balor! No more shall we stand idle by As our kin and our lands are oppressed The Sun is setting on our shores from the east and in the west Lugh grabed his spear and his shield and Launched himself through the wind And as the fomor ran in terror Lugh set upon them ATTACK! With blood on his ancient shield He drove his spear into fomorian hide Relentless with Rage,Fighting till the end The bodies strewn and scattered Crushing bone with tempered steel Through armour battered and worn The Call of war rings through theplains As the horns bellow a new age Ancient kings of Dana look upon,Lugh with pride Many warriors will fall and heroes will bleed Till our lands are free Forevermore He made a end of eight nines of them The last nine protected by the king To send word back,to the tyrant balor And tell the story from beginning to end As the fires burn on the distant hills And the waves crash upon Lochlann The tides of battle are set in stone As the flames flicker and die Nuada and Lugh look to the horizion Horns of war proclaim! A great battle will take place soon The Wrath of Balor comes forth! War!!!! As the fires and flames flicker and die..... |

5. | Riders of the Fomor | 05:46 | Show lyrics |
On the isle of Lochlann Balor gazes across the wild seas Ceithlenn his wife reveals the identity of the attacker He is the son of our daughter and grandson as it was foretold by the druids... The council of fomorian chiefs met Eab,Seanchub Neid and Liath Lobais the Druid and the nine of poets of Foreknowledge,Balor and Ceithlinn Plan to amass a army for Bres to take and fight with across the sea!! Prepare Seven Great Battalions Of the Riders of the Fomor I will go to Ireland and strike off Lugh’s head and bring it back to Berbhe Ready my ship’s Bres said Armour and Weapons ready towards the Violent Waves.. Bres and Elathan ready the men The Riders pack onto the ships Spears and shields glistening in the sun Mist rises from the depths Ready to Fight and Burn the land’s And clash with the De Danann Horde A figure near the harbour comes forth. Balor commanded that ireland Be tied to the back of their ships Give battle to the ildanach And strike off his head Let the waters swallow and consume the land and bring it to the north of lochlann None of the men of dea Will ever find it there... RISE FOMOR RISE!! The Monstrous ships leave the harbour Pull up the painted sail’s of war They land at the harbour of Eas Dana Sending out a army to Connacht in the West Burning and Killing destroying the Plains The Son of the Dagda Fell King Bodb Dearg!!!! |

6. | The Sons of Tuireann and the Blood Fine | 06:25 | Show lyrics |
Lugh passed down the bloodfine to Luchar, Brian and Lucharba For killing his father Cian Wounded as a pig and killed as a man Bring me, Three apples,a spear,two horses,seven pig’s The skin of a pig and a cooking spit A dog’s whelp and three shouts on a hill This is what i ask "Lugh said. The Apples from the Garden of the East The Pig skin of Tuis,King of Greece The deadly Spear of the King of Persia Pigs from Easal King of the Golden Pillar’s. The Horse’s and Chariot , of Dobar of Siogair The Hound Fail-Inis from the king of Ioruaidh The Cooking spit from the women, of Inis Cenn-Fhinne and the Shouts from the hill of Miochaoin! A Sorrow fell on the Sons of Tuireann Manannann’s Wavesweeper was given Tuireann watched in dismay and Lamented Ethne turned and looked with grief They left ireland with heavy hearts And began their quest for Lugh Through Death and Destruction they would venture Till the blood fine was met. In the Garden of the East,They turned into hawk’s Carrying the apples in their claw’s In the Court of Greece,they disguised as poet’s They killed the king and took the skin of the pig They then went and killed the King of Persia Found the spear its head in a cauldron of water So it would not burst aflame!! Heading to Siogair in the guise of paid soldier’s They stayed for a fortnight and a month They found the horses and drove The spear of Persia through the King’s heart Then to the King of Golden Pillar’s Easal met them and gave them the seven pig’s Through free will, As he would surely fall. Arriving at the coast of Ioruaidh In search for the Hound from the King Easal told the story of the quest to persuade him He refused and they began to clash The king was bound ,the hound was given And peace reclaimed. Lugh had heard of the success of the Son’s of Tuireann He cast a spell of Forgetfullness upon them With a desire to return to Eire When they arrived something was amiss They paid the fine to the king But they had forgotten the spit and three shouts on the hill!!!! The Sons were hit with grief and sorrow At what had happened They went to the island of Long haired women And claimed the spit for themselves Leaving the shores in the curragh To give three shouts on a hill To Miochaoin!!!! |

7. | The Wavesweeper | 06:41 | Show lyrics |
Towards the Hill of Miochaoin, they went Brian faced Miochaoin, and they fought Like two beast’s they attacked And as the sun rose Miochaoin fell As they heard their father’s cry The Sons Of Miochaoin,appeared Corc,Conn and Aedh ,the champions gathered Courage Strength and honor in their thought’s Spear’s held tight against their enemy The Last stand of defence on their father’s hill The Sons of Tuireann adamant on their task They began to clash. Driving their spear’s into Tuireanns Son’s The Sons in turn did the same Although death was upon them The task was still at hand Nearly at death and bereft of time Brian called to his brother’s Let u rise up and climb the hill And give the three shouts. And with that Brian helped them up He raised them up with one in each hand Shedding river’s of blood,they gave the three shouts Brian returned his brother’s to the Wavesweeper. Manannan’s Wavesweeper was ancient It was a sacred curragh It sailed fast on air and water With the ferocious speed of the wind The Son’s traveled for many year’s with despair and grief They came to Beinn Edair And their Father’ dun And asked him for help. The Brother’s gave the spit to Tuireann Give it to Lugh in friendship For they needed the healing,power of the pigskin For death had nearly claimed them. Tuireann journeyed to Teamhair In the search for Lugh He handed over the cooking spit And asked for the pig skin Lugh turned and refused him Even for the earth in gold Brian asked again and got the same To their death’s they would go. Brian left and returned to his brothers And as he lay, the life went from him He lay dead there, with his brethern A quest for their life’s in vain Tuireann cried and lamented for his sons Each of them could have been a king And so he fell and died with a broken heart The Son’s and him buried in one grave. |

1. | The Landing: Amergin’s Conquest | 10:10 | Show lyrics |
Winds rising, waves crashing, Amergin’s eyes fixed on the shore! Sons of the Gael at Inver Slane, Return to revenge the death of Ith Sent forth by Miled’s Sons If you can not claim the land! Then your kin will follow and take it As their own! The ships came the Tuatha ran to the shore, Casting ancient spells to subdue them. The Gael hindered by their enchantments Finally they landed at Inver Sceine. They marched to Slieve Mis, Eibhline and to Uisneach They were met by Three Queens, Amergin spoke to them Fodhla, Banba and Eriu! To the realm of Teamhair the Gael did journey, A great quarrel was among Cermait’s Sons, Even with a house so full of riches, Food and wealth as far as the eye could see. The Gael were puzzled and confused at their rage, And among the sons Amergin rose proclaiming: GIVE UP THE KINGSHIP OR FACE BATTLE! The Sons refused to battle then but Said make us an offer fair. Amergin told his men to go Nine waves from the shore! Rising waves crash at the ships The wind blasting at the fray Hail to Amergin, hail to him Hail to Amergin the Druid of the Gael Dark clouds gathering above A wind unnatural amassing Hail to Amergin, hail to him Hail to Amergin the Druid of the Gael The Gael had left in their ships The Men of Dea arrived, Casting a great wind it scathered them all, Against the waves under a blackened sky. Amergin knew something was afoot. Arranan knew this aswell. He died with his ship against the rocks, This wind unnatural untamed and wild. Donn and Twenty-four did drown in the sea. Ir’s body was thrown and cast to the shore, His enemies were in dread of his name. Heremon at Inver Colpa of the Sword Five of Miled’s Sons, tossed by the wind, And devoured by the Great Sea. Heber Heremon and Amergin, Were left to lay claim of Eire, Donn who was swept into the sea. He called out to treachery "There is none here!" Amergin said, And he called to the great wind. That whom is tossing in the sea may he reach land. That in its mountains, valleys forests and rivers, And great waters that he may find a place, A king of our own and a place for our kin. The wind grew silent and law calm. I am the force in the wind I am the strong waves of the sea I am the horns of the bull I am the eagle wings spread I am the blazing sun I am a oak in the wood I am a boar from the hunt I am a salmon in the water I am a lake deep and endless I am the word of knowledge I am the sword and spear in battle I am the one who puts fire in its head Who spreads light in the gathering on the hills? Who can tell the ages of the moon? Who can tell the place where the sun rests? |

2. | The Battle of Tailtin | 06:14 | Show lyrics |
Queen Eriu with the Men of Dea Fought the Sons of the Gael, Fais and Scota met their death, Laid between valley and mountain. The Sons of the Gael lost Three hundred men, But took with them The lives of a thousand. Eriu went back to Tailtin, Aer and Eithis were buried, The Gael journeyed to Inver Colpa! A message of war was sent To Cermait’s Sons To battle for Ireland’s kingship Once and for all, They came with the best Of Tuatha de Danann, The Sons of the Gael remembered the death of Ith! Great tides of battle crashed Into the fray. The Gaels had broke the Men of Dea, Warrior’s lay strewn Among Tailtin’s fields, Food for the crows to dine and feast. Sword and pear Battered shields Banners blown Across by the wind. A fire fading on the hill. A battle standard remains. Eriu, Fodhla and Banba perished With three of their kings! The Gael masters of Ireland forever! The Tuatha fell into great disarray, Followed still by the Gael. The Men of Dea overthrown Ireland belonged to the Gael. Heber took Munster And gave part to Amergin, Heremon claimed Leinster And Connacht. Ulster was claimed By Eimher at Emain Macha. Sword and spear Nine hundred years Banners blown Across by the wind. On the hills of Emain Macha A battle standard remains. The Men of Dea were overthrown, The Gael masters of Ireland forever. |

3. | The Kingship of Bodh Dearg | 07:54 | Show lyrics |
After Tailtin, the Tuatha Were without a place to remain. Manannan created a new home, Among the hills and valleys Of Ireland hidden, That no man could see through But pass through. The Tuatha were assembled In the halls in council. "We need a king to be over us" The Tuatha did say. Bring forth those Who would be fit to be king. From the White Field Lir Of Sidhe Fionnachaidh From Ilbrech of Ess Ruadh, Bodh Dearg of the Dagda born From Bri Leith, Midhir the Proud, And Angus Og, Son of the Dagda. The Circle formed in the great halls And the Council of High Men They did gather, For the sake of the Dagda and the Tuatha de Danann Bodh Dearg must and will be king. WILL BE KING Leaving the halls for his enchanted Home in Sidhe Femen, The Tuatha raise their spears And shields in glory to him. The war drums echo to The chants of the druids And men and women of the Tuatha, unite! In his hall of Brugh na Boinne Bodb Dearg he is king, Along the hillside and the valleys, The winds whip through the plains, In his throne and in his halls, Celebration claims into the night. The Dagda on the hill Looking at the KING. His son! His son! |

4. | Sorrow of the Dagda | 10:26 | Show lyrics |
The Dagda at his home Of Brugh na Boinne The Hall of the Morrigu And Cermait’s Birthplace within The Prison of the Grey Of Macha the Hill of Dabilla Where the Hound of Boann did be. In these Halls the Sorrow of the Dagda! At one time the Dagda made a vat, For his daughter Ainge she was proud, She decided to create `Her own out of wood and sticks. Nuada’s Son Gaible found it And threw it away. A great shadow and curse Befell the Dagda. One day a man of Connacht Did come to see him with his wife. Corrgenn was his name, Aedh had fallen for his wife. That Great anger exploded And he killed Aedh in response. Everyone thought the Dagda Would kill him but he did not, He sat with a troubled brow And thought about his life. He spared his life But there would have to be a toll. Looking at Aedh’s body, He knew what must be done, To avenge him and to bring peace To his home and to his son, And as the morning dawn creeped in, the truth and toll became clear. "Corrgenn take my son and carry him, upon your back and never let him fall, Find a gravestone the same size fitting for my son and bury him there." Corrgeen spent an age looking for The stone and the journey was hard, On Loch Feabhail he finally had found it and he rested Aedh’s body there. Corrgenn did lift the stone Above his head A glimpse of hope in his eye! But no sooner had he Lifted the stone he himself fell, And he died. The Dagda, beside himself with grief, summoned two of his men To build a rath around his son And Corrgenn’s grave. Imheall and Garbhan shaped it And made it so. The Hill of Aileac was its name... The Hill of Signs and of Stone... Made by tears of blood. The Sorrow of the Dagda. |

6. | Conn of the Hundred Battles | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
Conn was in Teamhair at the Rath of the Kings, The dawn of a blistering sun, With his three Druids with him, Maol, Bloc and Bhuice; And three poets, Ethain, Corb and Cesarn. Looking for people of the Sidhe. He stood upon a stone, And it screamed under his feet. The screams were heard All over the lands of Teamhair. "Where has it come from And why did it scream?" Conn asked his druid With a vacant stare, No answer revealed till the end Of fifty-three days. The stone is the Lia Fail, From the lands of Falias, In Teamhair it is and will be forever, And if no king comes to the end Of the gathering There will be drought And suffering in that year. And while they waited A mist of blackness arose, A figure in the darkness, Noise of a rider coming forth, The rider threw three spears! Each one faster than the last! And at the sound of his name The rider stopped. He came to them And bade them welcome. They came to an ancestral plain, A king’s rath, and a golden tree At its door, And inside the rath, a grand hall And a roof of white bronze. So they went into the house, The Rider in his Ancient Chair, The reflection of the sun On his shining face. That woman is the Kingship of Ireland forever, Conn you will fight a hundred battles before you die. And I, I am the Sun! I am Lugh of the Long Hand! |

7. | Anann: Ermne’s Daughter | 03:47 | Show lyrics |
Anann, Ernmas’s Daughter Deep within Temhair she dwells A raging fire by a great cooking spit, The Crow of battle Wandering overhead. Anann, she is the Crow of battle. Anann, trinity of the Morrigan. Anann, eyes on the battlefield. Anann, flying overhead. Mechi one of her sons died By Mac Cecht on Magh Fertaige. Three Hearts Serpent bound within, For if mechi lived, Anything living in Ireland would have wasted away. At the top of Magh Luathad The Plain of Ashes, Mac Cecht did burn his three hearts And threw them into a stream. The water turned black as death And everything within it died. The sun covered in the shade Of a hundred crows. The Morrigan lifting The dead from battle To their final resting place. Goddess of Battle, Strife, Fertility. Your form of crow, wolf and eel, Anann is her name. The Trinity of the Morrigan, Badb, Macha and Nemain. Deep within Temhair she dwell’s A raging fire by a great cooking spit, Carrying the warriors To the great hall’s Of high kings. |

1. | Arrival of the Tuatha | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
Ships of fire burst through The mist of the skies, The Tuatha Dé Danann, From the high air, arrive. Four corners of the world, Four cities, four wise men, Four treasures! Morias, Urias, Arias and Senias. Nuada the High King, Manannán, god of the Sea, Ogma god of Ogham, Diancécht god of Life, Éire, Fódla and Banba, And Dana the All Mother. The first day of Bealtaine, King Eochaid of the Fir Bolgs came With his army from the South. Residing in Magh Rein Till the day of battle arrived. The Tuatha arrived from the Northwest of Connacht To meet their enemy at Magh Rein. The calm before the storm, Winds whip through the fields of Temhair. King Eochaid had a dark vision, He told his druids, In turn they told the King That a strong enemy Was rising up against him, It would not be long till war would begin. |

2. | The Mighty Sreng | 03:38 | Show lyrics |
King Eochaid of the Fir Bolg’s, Had a meeting with his men, A warrior to face the Tuatha. His name the Mighty Sreng. In return watchers of the Tuatha Sent their own champion, Bres. Both warriors observed each other By the hillside of the mountain pass. Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to Fight! Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to die! The two became puzzled, When they spoke in their mother tongue. They spoke in Irish and came to speak, Laying down their shields for fear. Observing the craft of each other’s spear To learn each ways fatal! Craiseach was it’s name, The name Sreng gave them. Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to die! Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to fight! Bres turned to Sreng and said We will take half of Ireland! And if we can not, A war will begin, blood will flow. Sreng went back to his king, Told of what he’d learned, When the king heard the offer he said: Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to Fight! Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to die! |

3. | King Eochaid’s Fall | 05:30 | Show lyrics |
With the spear to his heart And the wind im his hair, To the Men of Dea, and he told them Of the Fir Bolg warrior Sreng. To Connacht they did march, Preparing battlements for war, Passing the mountain Belgata To arrive at the field of battle, At Magh Nia. The Trinity of the Tuatha, Badb, Macha and Anann, Arrived at Temhair Where the Fir Bolgs did rest. They cast a mist dark and deep And summoned showers Of fire and blood! The Fir Bolg’s engulfed in flame, Unable to see, unable to speak. Eleven battalions of the Fir Bolgs Marched and stood defiant on the East, Nuada sent Eochaid the offer, Eochaid refused, He would not show defeat. The war was delayed, By a quarter of a year, Armour, swords and spears ready Until the day of battle came. From both sides, three times nine hurlers Entered the battle but they will die. Four days passed, warriors did fall And on that day the tide was turned. The Men of Dea rose up, and fell On the Fir Bolgs like rain on the Earth. Eochaid went for a drink, His men not by his side, But the Tuatha not far behind. To the Strand they did go, Nuada’s Sons fought the King, Dragging him into the sea, Daggers endlessly piercing! Leaving a heap of stones where he died, The dead king now watches the sea. A victory for the Tuatha. This was the battle of Magh Tuiread. |

4. | Bres | 05:28 | Show lyrics |
During the fray of battle, Nuada did lose his arm, Cut off by the mighty Sreng. For the law of the Tuatha, That no man would be king Armless and beaten lost to his kin. The kingship now left for another to rise. The Sun blasts light Over mountains and skies, Banners in the distance, The High Men gather, A legacy for a new king. Spears to the sky, the Lia Fail screams New king arise, lead and guide! The Chosen of the land, Bres was his name, He lacked wisdom and knowledge, His rule brought shame. The Fomorians put a burden on his people, By the leadership of the tyrant. Their army was vast and feared by many, The Tuatha stood defiant. Taxes did bestow them, Bres failed them as a king. A debt on their cattle, How did this fate begin? Hated by the Tuatha, His halls empty and cold. No singers, dancers or music, No tales would be told. At a point during his rule, Cridenbel was met An old wretch of a man And this is how this tale began. Cridenbel did steal from The Dagda’s plate, Three pieces was the price, Weak and starving The Dagda suffered the worst. But his son he did see, A plan was made to feed The old man gold, Three pieces was the price. The deed was done, the old man died. Three pieces took his life. Bres gave orders for the Dagda, He went to the king, Cridenbel was opened. Gold lay within! Truth rings! Bres forever would have no good luck, Only failure, only Shame. Forever, forever! |

5. | Nuada of the Silver Arm | 05:30 | Show lyrics |
In the midst of that great battle, Nuada did loose his arm, War cries in the deep, Bodies at his feet, The air thick loud and deafening Steel through bone, fighting till death. He rose between the valleys, Let out his battle cry. A great sickness, claimed the king. Diancecht forge me a new arm! The smith started to plan, Lighting the fires once more. Forging the Silver Arm, In the great fires of Temhair Sparks and embers ignite. The clash of the Hammer on Steel, The Arm rising from the flames, The High King reborn, The High King now whole. Nuada Silver Arm, Nuada Airgead Lamh! Nuada Silver Arm, Nuada Airgead Lamh! Nuada returned to the Tuatha, At the great halls of Temhair, Now whole, he could claim Back the throne. Once again High King. Anger possessed Bres, He went to Eri for guidance. Seek your father, A ring of gold, Bres did claim. They left on a silver vessel, To the lands of the Fomor and their king, Upon reaching Fomorian shores, Elathan met his son Bres, And he sent him to meet Balor of the Evil Eye! Nuada Silver Arm, Nuada Airgead Lamh! Nuada Silver Arm, Nuada Airgead Lamh! |

7. | Second Battle of Magh Tuireadh | 05:32 | Show lyrics |
As the sun shone on the day of battle, The Men of Dea rose up, Nuada and Lugh on the horizon Sending their armies to war. And still they march on, To protect their homes Spears and shields by their sides. The Battle was frantic, Many were lost, The King Nuada did fall. Lugh flew through the air with his spear Gael Bolga held tight. The horns of battle bellowing, Uniting the screams from both sides. A river of blood in its wake The Men Of Dea went forth To crush their enemies, The Fomorian horde. |

At Battles end… Dagda searched for his harp Uaitne was its name! A gift from the past, They went to a great hall Where Bres did reside. Only he could make it sing, Make it sound by his call. Inside he calls his harp, And at the sound of his voice Flew from the wall to his arms, Killing nine men on its way. Three songs he cast upon them, Three tunes to silence them all. As the harp rang out, The magic was cast. First tune brought fits of laughter, The second tune, a sea of despair, The last brought a deadly sleep, Never to wake again! Again! The song rang out, Over mountain and seas, Left as a memory to the past. The notes of Uaithne, from every corner And shore... |

1. | Sons of Morna | 07:12 | Show lyrics |
Many years ago Cumhal led the Fianna, He was killed by the sons of Morna. Muirne his wife gave birth, to a son! Finn would lead them again. Raised by druids Liath and Bodhmall, He learned hunting and its craft, He was kept at Slieve Bladhma in secrecy, ‘Till the sons of Morna stopped at last. He grew up strong with long fair hair, And ran as fast as mighty stags, He left their care and travelled far, Reaching the shores of Loch Lein... For a time he served King of Finntraigh, Later looking for Crimall in Connacht. In fright he saw a woman covered in blood. A great warrior stood in the distance, As tall as old and sacred Oaks. Finn ran fuming and fought him, Blow for blow, both matched well. The sword delved deep, Killing one of the Sons of Morna! The King of Lochlann’s Helmet, Manannan’s Shirt and Knife, The Smith Hook of Goibhnu, King of Alban’s Shears... From Manannan to Lugh, To Ethlinn then to Cumhnal, To Finn! His legacy foretold... Down by the river Boinn, Finegas the druid found, Finn stayed and learned his ways, He fed from the Salmon of Knowledge! The Salmon of Knowledge! Wisdom and Knowledge! |

2. | King of Tara | 04:34 | Show lyrics |
Finn went to the High King of great Teamhair, Inside sat Goll a son of Morna, Among the Fianna Brave... Hatred in his eyes, Revenge marked on his mind. Finn grabbed a great horn, And proclaimed Loud and far: "I am Finn! Son Of Cumhal! Son Of Cumhal! He who was a King and friend to you all!! With that the King bade him welcome, And brought him into the great hall, But worry yet still stifled him, A great enemy from afar was to come... A man came alone, from the Tuatha he was, Breathing in flames spat, From his cursed mouth, He would burn up all of Teamhair. Aillen was his name, A Son of the Midhna proud, He played music of the Sidhe, Putting all to sleep. And then he would burn them alive... The King made a call to all his men, To go and fight this threat. Silence fell on that great hall, Till Finn spoke loud and great! "I will fight him on the morrow And rid the land of him." “Take my magic spear!” Proclaimed Fiachra. The day of battle came, The skies were black as sulphur, Aillen came playing with his harp, Fire burst from his mouth, Finn raised his crimson cloak. No damage befell him… protected from his spells... He ran to Slieve Fuad, Finn chasing him at his back. Finn gave chase, Armed with his spear and made a cast. Aillen did fall, His heart pierced by the magic spear. He cut off his head, And returned back to great Teamhair. On the top of a pole it stayed, On their highest wall. The great deed that Finn had done, Would be remembered by one and all. The Fianna raised up Finn, And they celebrated into the night! A new leader and king proclaimed: “It was his right!” King of Tara! Hail! Hail! King of Tara! Hail! Hail! King of Tara! Hail! |

3. | Tuiren | 09:19 | Show lyrics |
Muirne came to Almhuin with Tuiren, To reach Iollain Eachtach, Chief of Fianna strong and old. They fell in a deep love, And they asked Finn to give his word. “Protect her and she will be yours!” In the blackest corners of the Sidhe, An old flame of Iollain did burn. Uchtdealb burned with jealousy at this union. She changed herself into The guise of Finn’s messenger. She entered the halls and told Tuiren: “You must create a great feast, And come with me now.” And with that the dark druid rod appeared. She changed poor Tuiren into a hound. She brought her then to Fergus Fionnlaith, King Of Gallimh. Uchtdealb proclaimed to him that he must Look after the hound till it goes to Finn, Tuiren gave birth to two pups. With Tuiren forever lost, Iollain went to the hill To meet with Uchtdealb. He offered himself instead of Tuiren to Finn. She made a new offer and told him. “If you stay with me forever, I will change her back.” He agreed and Tuiren was sent back To Finn in Human form. She married Lugaidh Lamha. Finn named the hounds: Bran and Sceolan. |

4. | The Search for Sadbh | 05:30 | Show lyrics |
On the plains of Almhuin, I lost her there, to that druid. Searching with Bran and Sceolan, Over every land and the rivers. With every passing year, the pain grows. My heart crushed with her loss. A crown empty, useless, A light shines through the trees. In my mind a deer appears, In the glade of the forest. Lonely halls of mine, Lost to the ages. In the forest black. Her name is marked in the trees, In my mind she appears, In the glade of the forest. |

5. | Caoilte | 06:02 | Show lyrics |
On a dark and stormy night, Finn was kidnapped, By the High King of Teamhair, Blamed for battles due to the Fianna. His warrior Caoilte came to his aid. Caoilte rose up and went searching for him, First killing Cuireach, a Leinster King. A madness took him with sorrow and flame Burning and hacking the fields. Wherever the blistering red wind blew, He would destroy all in his sight. He killed one in every house, And set their homes alight... He cloaked himself in darkness, And entered the ivory palace, A candle burning in his hands. He watched the great kings feast. The King suddenly took notice, Finn closed his mind to this thought. Caoilte came to the king and asked him What he must do to free Finn. “Collect every wild animal of Ireland” Caoilte left as soon as it was said, He ran as fast as the steeds of Macha, Gathering birds of every type and shape. After this feat he would tackle the beasts, Strong and wild as Ireland itself. To save Finn this would be the task, All the greatness for Caoilte till the end. Two ravens from Fiodh Da Bheann, Two swans from blue Dobhran, Two owls from Faradhruim, Two herons from Corrain Cleibh, Two redbreasts from the Great Wood, Two foxes from Slieve Cuilinn, Two oxen from the Burren, Two wolves from Broit Cliathach, Two salmons from Eas Mhic Muirne, Two deers from Gleann na Smoil, Ten hounds of the Fianna, One of Manannan’s steeds, Two pigs of the son of Lir, An old ram from Innis. Caoilte had a great chaos on his hands, With all the birds and beast to control. When he returned to Teamhair, The King gave him a house with nine doors. The next day he arrived, To thank Caoilte for the task, No sooner had he spoke, All the birds and beasts escaped, Like rays of the Sun in every direction! Finn had gained his freedom, Caoilte remained by his side, Till the end of his days. One of the finest of the Fianna... |

7. | The Battle on the Shore | 06:33 | Show lyrics |
Great battalions of the Fianna rose, That day to fight the armies of Mal, Banners and flags cover the skies. The sun blinding the warriors, Swords and shields clash, Blood curdling screams, Many bodies pile high, A horn bellows, A standing stone to the sky! Smoke and flame, Spears and banners ablaze, Embers crumbling into the earth, Warriors and heroes dead. The waves of the shore pass over them… With many dead on both sides, The Fianna came with Luideagh’s son To put an end to Mal for good. Luidheagh’s son and Mal met face to face, Ready to deliver the finishing blow, To this battle. In the end Luidheagh made a cast Pouring power into his spear. It broke through Mal and burst his heart, Exploding out through his body clear. The Fianna roared and sang out loud, From every field and every plain. Luideagh’s son and Aoife, Would stay together ‘till the end. Finn climbed high, And called the Fianna brave. “The enemy has broken, We have won!” |

9. | Cauldron of Plenty | 05:01 | Show lyrics |
One day in Almhuin, head to toe in skins, A man came with his wife, They offered their service to Finn. Hunting in the marshlands, With the Fianna by his side, Conan began to worry, This man killed more than Finn. “Send him to the King of Floods, Send him far away, Bring back that cauldron, That could feed all in a day!” Finn bade him to go, to meet with that King, And with that he went to shores of the sea. Two arms outstretched, And struck two sticks together, A great boat rose up and came into view. He went across the vast seas, The house in his sight. The king had a great feast, The opportunity was rife! The lad of the skins feigned hunger and thirst, With that outburst the cauldron was passed, But no sooner that he had the vessels, The King of the Floods came with his army, To get his treasure back. The lad fought them, And went to make an end to them. The silence that befell the shores, As silent as the dead. He headed back to Almhuin, With the cauldron in his grasp, Back to mighty Finn. Finn and the lad fought strong and well, They ran to the King’s Dun, And beheaded him, Many were slain, Victory turned to Misery! When they went back they were attacked, The lad took many forms, And never held back. He died of his wounds in the form of a bird, A red flag raised to the shore! His wife bade Finn To push her out to the sea, Violent and chaotic the waves crashed, A silhouette of warriors stood, Looking into the horizon. Finn pushed the boat out, And the wind and waves heard the call. Lir took her in his outstretched arms, And she disappeared... |

10. | Dubh, Dun Agus Liath | 07:21 | Show lyrics |
In Teamhair dark and old, Finn was hunting, When three great heroes came, In search of him. “We are Dubh, Dun and Liath, And we wish to serve you!” Finn then cut a tree into three and said: “Each of you will stay guard For a part of the night, Until your piece of log has burnt out.” Dubh with Bran claimed a cup that could Never empty, from an ancient house. Dun went out at the second watch, And saw a great house in flame! A crowd fighting inside it. It was the Knife of Division at work, Dun stole it quick, And returned back into the shadow. Liath took his flaming torch, For the third and final watch! He journeyed far into the night, ‘Till he came to another house. The stench of death in the air, Bodies littered the hall. Fear consumed him, And he hid himself inside, Under the shields and bodies Of those fallen warriors. There he did wait... A monstrous old Hag came into the house And began to eat the dead. One after one she preferred fat And left the lean. When she was full she fell asleep, A thud on the bloody floor. Liath grabbed his mighty sword And bided his time. He lept quickly and killed her there and then. Three bodies fled from her corpse... Killing the first two with Bran’s help, The third escaped! Returning to Finn, the three told all their tales Finn thanked Dubh and Dun, but told Liath: “It would have been best to leave the Hag be, I fear the third man may be trouble!” In Teamhair dark and old, Finn now King, sits with the Fianna. This is only the beginning of his story. Warriors dead and gone, Stags roam the countryside, And the wind sings of the past... |

Upon the Horizion,The Tower of glass stands tall Balor of the evil eye ,watchs over all The sons of nemed attacked with the power of druid spells A great wave swallowed them and took them to the depths A Druid told Balor,he would fall to a grandson he sent his only daughter ,Ethlinn away into the tower of glass Twelve women put there to guard and protect To never see or hear the name of a man and to grow beautifull. Cian, Goibniu and Samthainn Three brothers of the tuatha de danann Residing at Druim na Teine The Ridge of the fire Guarding the glas gaibhnenn Who’s milk would never fail From the theiving hordes that coveted her. Balor had set his eyes on it as well Turning into a Young boy he tricked Samthainn and as the brothers quarelled about the iron and steel He left the forge,snatched the cow and crossed the sea. Cian traveled to the Mountains to find the druid Birog She dressed him as a woman and sent him across the sea in a gust of wind...... As they entered the tower of glass Birog put a spell of sleep upon them, Cian found Ethlinn and she gave herself to him But by the winds,he was sent away And Ethlinn bore a son!! Balor found out and a fear grew on him He sent his people to put the child in cloth and to secure it with a pin Balor commanded that the child ,be tossed into the sea As the waves crashed,tumbled and fell A newborn thought to have drowned The one prophesised ,to end the tyrants reign.... Birog saved the child and brought him to Cian and he sent him to Taillte,Daughter of the Great Plain Thus Lugh was born and a saga began.. |

Lugh passed down the bloodfine to Luchar, Brian and Lucharba For killing his father Cian Wounded as a pig and killed as a man Bring me, Three apples,a spear,two horses,seven pig’s The skin of a pig and a cooking spit A dog’s whelp and three shouts on a hill This is what i ask "Lugh said. The Apples from the Garden of the East The Pig skin of Tuis,King of Greece The deadly Spear of the King of Persia Pigs from Easal King of the Golden Pillar’s. The Horse’s and Chariot , of Dobar of Siogair The Hound Fail-Inis from the king of Ioruaidh The Cooking spit from the women, of Inis Cenn-Fhinne and the Shouts from the hill of Miochaoin! A Sorrow fell on the Sons of Tuireann Manannann’s Wavesweeper was given Tuireann watched in dismay and Lamented Ethne turned and looked with grief They left ireland with heavy hearts And began their quest for Lugh Through Death and Destruction they would venture Till the blood fine was met. In the Garden of the East,They turned into hawk’s Carrying the apples in their claw’s In the Court of Greece,they disguised as poet’s They killed the king and took the skin of the pig They then went and killed the King of Persia Found the spear its head in a cauldron of water So it would not burst aflame!! Heading to Siogair in the guise of paid soldier’s They stayed for a fortnight and a month They found the horses and drove The spear of Persia through the King’s heart Then to the King of Golden Pillar’s Easal met them and gave them the seven pig’s Through free will, As he would surely fall. Arriving at the coast of Ioruaidh In search for the Hound from the King Easal told the story of the quest to persuade him He refused and they began to clash The king was bound ,the hound was given And peace reclaimed. Lugh had heard of the success of the Son’s of Tuireann He cast a spell of Forgetfullness upon them With a desire to return to Eire When they arrived something was amiss They paid the fine to the king But they had forgotten the spit and three shouts on the hill!!!! The Sons were hit with grief and sorrow At what had happened They went to the island of Long haired women And claimed the spit for themselves Leaving the shores in the curragh To give three shouts on a hill To Miochaoin!!!! |

Towards the Hill of Miochaoin, they went Brian faced Miochaoin, and they fought Like two beast’s they attacked And as the sun rose Miochaoin fell As they heard their father’s cry The Sons Of Miochaoin,appeared Corc,Conn and Aedh ,the champions gathered Courage Strength and honor in their thought’s Spear’s held tight against their enemy The Last stand of defence on their father’s hill The Sons of Tuireann adamant on their task They began to clash. Driving their spear’s into Tuireanns Son’s The Sons in turn did the same Although death was upon them The task was still at hand Nearly at death and bereft of time Brian called to his brother’s Let u rise up and climb the hill And give the three shouts. And with that Brian helped them up He raised them up with one in each hand Shedding river’s of blood,they gave the three shouts Brian returned his brother’s to the Wavesweeper. Manannan’s Wavesweeper was ancient It was a sacred curragh It sailed fast on air and water With the ferocious speed of the wind The Son’s traveled for many year’s with despair and grief They came to Beinn Edair And their Father’ dun And asked him for help. The Brother’s gave the spit to Tuireann Give it to Lugh in friendship For they needed the healing,power of the pigskin For death had nearly claimed them. Tuireann journeyed to Teamhair In the search for Lugh He handed over the cooking spit And asked for the pig skin Lugh turned and refused him Even for the earth in gold Brian asked again and got the same To their death’s they would go. Brian left and returned to his brothers And as he lay, the life went from him He lay dead there, with his brethern A quest for their life’s in vain Tuireann cried and lamented for his sons Each of them could have been a king And so he fell and died with a broken heart The Son’s and him buried in one grave. |

In the Garden of the East,They turned into hawk’s Carrying the apples in their claw’s In the Court of Greece,they disguised as poet’s They killed the king and took the skin of the pig They then went and killed the King of Persia Found the spear its head in a cauldron of water So it would not burst aflame!! Heading to Siogair in the guise of paid soldier’s They stayed for a fortnight and a month They found the horses and drove The spear of Persia through the King’s heart Then to the King of Golden Pillar’s Easal met them and gave them the seven pig’s Through free will, As he would surely fall. Arriving at the coast of Ioruaidh In search for the Hound from the King Easal told the story of the quest to persuade him He refused and they began to clash The king was bound ,the hound was given And peace reclaimed. Lugh had heard of the success of the Son’s of Tuireann He cast a spell of Forgetfullness upon them With a desire to return to Eire When they arrived something was amiss They paid the fine to the king But they had forgotten the spit and three shouts on the hill!!!! The Sons were hit with grief and sorrow At what had happened They went to the island of Long haired women And claimed the spit for themselves Leaving the shores in the curragh To give three shouts on a hill To Miochaoin!!!! |

7. | The Wavesweeper | 06:41 | Show lyrics |
Towards the Hill of Miochaoin, they went Brian faced Miochaoin, and they fought Like two beast’s they attacked And as the sun rose Miochaoin fell As they heard their father’s cry The Sons Of Miochaoin,appeared Corc,Conn and Aedh ,the champions gathered Courage Strength and honor in their thought’s Spear’s held tight against their enemy The Last stand of defence on their father’s hill The Sons of Tuireann adamant on their task They began to clash. Driving their spear’s into Tuireanns Son’s The Sons in turn did the same Although death was upon them The task was still at hand Nearly at death and bereft of time Brian called to his brother’s Let u rise up and climb the hill And give the three shouts. And with that Brian helped them up He raised them up with one in each hand Shedding river’s of blood,they gave the three shouts Brian returned his brother’s to the Wavesweeper. Manannan’s Wavesweeper was ancient It was a sacred curragh It sailed fast on air and water With the ferocious speed of the wind The Son’s traveled for many year’s with despair and grief They came to Beinn Edair And their Father’ dun And asked him for help. The Brother’s gave the spit to Tuireann Give it to Lugh in friendship For they needed the healing,power of the pigskin For death had nearly claimed them. Tuireann journeyed to Teamhair In the search for Lugh He handed over the cooking spit And asked for the pig skin Lugh turned and refused him Even for the earth in gold Brian asked again and got the same To their death’s they would go. Brian left and returned to his brothers And as he lay, the life went from him He lay dead there, with his brethern A quest for their life’s in vain Tuireann cried and lamented for his sons Each of them could have been a king And so he fell and died with a broken heart The Son’s and him buried in one grave. |

1. | The Landing: Amergin’s Conquest | 10:10 | Show lyrics |
Winds rising, waves crashing, Amergin’s eyes fixed on the shore! Sons of the Gael at Inver Slane, Return to revenge the death of Ith Sent forth by Miled’s Sons If you can not claim the land! Then your kin will follow and take it As their own! The ships came the Tuatha ran to the shore, Casting ancient spells to subdue them. The Gael hindered by their enchantments Finally they landed at Inver Sceine. They marched to Slieve Mis, Eibhline and to Uisneach They were met by Three Queens, Amergin spoke to them Fodhla, Banba and Eriu! To the realm of Teamhair the Gael did journey, A great quarrel was among Cermait’s Sons, Even with a house so full of riches, Food and wealth as far as the eye could see. The Gael were puzzled and confused at their rage, And among the sons Amergin rose proclaiming: GIVE UP THE KINGSHIP OR FACE BATTLE! The Sons refused to battle then but Said make us an offer fair. Amergin told his men to go Nine waves from the shore! Rising waves crash at the ships The wind blasting at the fray Hail to Amergin, hail to him Hail to Amergin the Druid of the Gael Dark clouds gathering above A wind unnatural amassing Hail to Amergin, hail to him Hail to Amergin the Druid of the Gael The Gael had left in their ships The Men of Dea arrived, Casting a great wind it scathered them all, Against the waves under a blackened sky. Amergin knew something was afoot. Arranan knew this aswell. He died with his ship against the rocks, This wind unnatural untamed and wild. Donn and Twenty-four did drown in the sea. Ir’s body was thrown and cast to the shore, His enemies were in dread of his name. Heremon at Inver Colpa of the Sword Five of Miled’s Sons, tossed by the wind, And devoured by the Great Sea. Heber Heremon and Amergin, Were left to lay claim of Eire, Donn who was swept into the sea. He called out to treachery "There is none here!" Amergin said, And he called to the great wind. That whom is tossing in the sea may he reach land. That in its mountains, valleys forests and rivers, And great waters that he may find a place, A king of our own and a place for our kin. The wind grew silent and law calm. I am the force in the wind I am the strong waves of the sea I am the horns of the bull I am the eagle wings spread I am the blazing sun I am a oak in the wood I am a boar from the hunt I am a salmon in the water I am a lake deep and endless I am the word of knowledge I am the sword and spear in battle I am the one who puts fire in its head Who spreads light in the gathering on the hills? Who can tell the ages of the moon? Who can tell the place where the sun rests? |

2. | The Battle of Tailtin | 06:14 | Show lyrics |
Queen Eriu with the Men of Dea Fought the Sons of the Gael, Fais and Scota met their death, Laid between valley and mountain. The Sons of the Gael lost Three hundred men, But took with them The lives of a thousand. Eriu went back to Tailtin, Aer and Eithis were buried, The Gael journeyed to Inver Colpa! A message of war was sent To Cermait’s Sons To battle for Ireland’s kingship Once and for all, They came with the best Of Tuatha de Danann, The Sons of the Gael remembered the death of Ith! Great tides of battle crashed Into the fray. The Gaels had broke the Men of Dea, Warrior’s lay strewn Among Tailtin’s fields, Food for the crows to dine and feast. Sword and pear Battered shields Banners blown Across by the wind. A fire fading on the hill. A battle standard remains. Eriu, Fodhla and Banba perished With three of their kings! The Gael masters of Ireland forever! The Tuatha fell into great disarray, Followed still by the Gael. The Men of Dea overthrown Ireland belonged to the Gael. Heber took Munster And gave part to Amergin, Heremon claimed Leinster And Connacht. Ulster was claimed By Eimher at Emain Macha. Sword and spear Nine hundred years Banners blown Across by the wind. On the hills of Emain Macha A battle standard remains. The Men of Dea were overthrown, The Gael masters of Ireland forever. |

After Tailtin, the Tuatha Were without a place to remain. Manannan created a new home, Among the hills and valleys Of Ireland hidden, That no man could see through But pass through. The Tuatha were assembled In the halls in council. "We need a king to be over us" The Tuatha did say. Bring forth those Who would be fit to be king. From the White Field Lir Of Sidhe Fionnachaidh From Ilbrech of Ess Ruadh, Bodh Dearg of the Dagda born From Bri Leith, Midhir the Proud, And Angus Og, Son of the Dagda. The Circle formed in the great halls And the Council of High Men They did gather, For the sake of the Dagda and the Tuatha de Danann Bodh Dearg must and will be king. WILL BE KING Leaving the halls for his enchanted Home in Sidhe Femen, The Tuatha raise their spears And shields in glory to him. The war drums echo to The chants of the druids And men and women of the Tuatha, unite! In his hall of Brugh na Boinne Bodb Dearg he is king, Along the hillside and the valleys, The winds whip through the plains, In his throne and in his halls, Celebration claims into the night. The Dagda on the hill Looking at the KING. His son! His son! |

The Dagda at his home Of Brugh na Boinne The Hall of the Morrigu And Cermait’s Birthplace within The Prison of the Grey Of Macha the Hill of Dabilla Where the Hound of Boann did be. In these Halls the Sorrow of the Dagda! At one time the Dagda made a vat, For his daughter Ainge she was proud, She decided to create `Her own out of wood and sticks. Nuada’s Son Gaible found it And threw it away. A great shadow and curse Befell the Dagda. One day a man of Connacht Did come to see him with his wife. Corrgenn was his name, Aedh had fallen for his wife. That Great anger exploded And he killed Aedh in response. Everyone thought the Dagda Would kill him but he did not, He sat with a troubled brow And thought about his life. He spared his life But there would have to be a toll. Looking at Aedh’s body, He knew what must be done, To avenge him and to bring peace To his home and to his son, And as the morning dawn creeped in, the truth and toll became clear. "Corrgenn take my son and carry him, upon your back and never let him fall, Find a gravestone the same size fitting for my son and bury him there." Corrgeen spent an age looking for The stone and the journey was hard, On Loch Feabhail he finally had found it and he rested Aedh’s body there. Corrgenn did lift the stone Above his head A glimpse of hope in his eye! But no sooner had he Lifted the stone he himself fell, And he died. The Dagda, beside himself with grief, summoned two of his men To build a rath around his son And Corrgenn’s grave. Imheall and Garbhan shaped it And made it so. The Hill of Aileac was its name... The Hill of Signs and of Stone... Made by tears of blood. The Sorrow of the Dagda. |

6. | Conn of the Hundred Battles | 05:16 | Show lyrics |
Conn was in Teamhair at the Rath of the Kings, The dawn of a blistering sun, With his three Druids with him, Maol, Bloc and Bhuice; And three poets, Ethain, Corb and Cesarn. Looking for people of the Sidhe. He stood upon a stone, And it screamed under his feet. The screams were heard All over the lands of Teamhair. "Where has it come from And why did it scream?" Conn asked his druid With a vacant stare, No answer revealed till the end Of fifty-three days. The stone is the Lia Fail, From the lands of Falias, In Teamhair it is and will be forever, And if no king comes to the end Of the gathering There will be drought And suffering in that year. And while they waited A mist of blackness arose, A figure in the darkness, Noise of a rider coming forth, The rider threw three spears! Each one faster than the last! And at the sound of his name The rider stopped. He came to them And bade them welcome. They came to an ancestral plain, A king’s rath, and a golden tree At its door, And inside the rath, a grand hall And a roof of white bronze. So they went into the house, The Rider in his Ancient Chair, The reflection of the sun On his shining face. That woman is the Kingship of Ireland forever, Conn you will fight a hundred battles before you die. And I, I am the Sun! I am Lugh of the Long Hand! |

Anann, Ernmas’s Daughter Deep within Temhair she dwells A raging fire by a great cooking spit, The Crow of battle Wandering overhead. Anann, she is the Crow of battle. Anann, trinity of the Morrigan. Anann, eyes on the battlefield. Anann, flying overhead. Mechi one of her sons died By Mac Cecht on Magh Fertaige. Three Hearts Serpent bound within, For if mechi lived, Anything living in Ireland would have wasted away. At the top of Magh Luathad The Plain of Ashes, Mac Cecht did burn his three hearts And threw them into a stream. The water turned black as death And everything within it died. The sun covered in the shade Of a hundred crows. The Morrigan lifting The dead from battle To their final resting place. Goddess of Battle, Strife, Fertility. Your form of crow, wolf and eel, Anann is her name. The Trinity of the Morrigan, Badb, Macha and Nemain. Deep within Temhair she dwell’s A raging fire by a great cooking spit, Carrying the warriors To the great hall’s Of high kings. |

1. | Arrival of the Tuatha | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
Ships of fire burst through The mist of the skies, The Tuatha Dé Danann, From the high air, arrive. Four corners of the world, Four cities, four wise men, Four treasures! Morias, Urias, Arias and Senias. Nuada the High King, Manannán, god of the Sea, Ogma god of Ogham, Diancécht god of Life, Éire, Fódla and Banba, And Dana the All Mother. The first day of Bealtaine, King Eochaid of the Fir Bolgs came With his army from the South. Residing in Magh Rein Till the day of battle arrived. The Tuatha arrived from the Northwest of Connacht To meet their enemy at Magh Rein. The calm before the storm, Winds whip through the fields of Temhair. King Eochaid had a dark vision, He told his druids, In turn they told the King That a strong enemy Was rising up against him, It would not be long till war would begin. |

2. | The Mighty Sreng | 03:38 | Show lyrics |
King Eochaid of the Fir Bolg’s, Had a meeting with his men, A warrior to face the Tuatha. His name the Mighty Sreng. In return watchers of the Tuatha Sent their own champion, Bres. Both warriors observed each other By the hillside of the mountain pass. Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to Fight! Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to die! The two became puzzled, When they spoke in their mother tongue. They spoke in Irish and came to speak, Laying down their shields for fear. Observing the craft of each other’s spear To learn each ways fatal! Craiseach was it’s name, The name Sreng gave them. Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to die! Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to fight! Bres turned to Sreng and said We will take half of Ireland! And if we can not, A war will begin, blood will flow. Sreng went back to his king, Told of what he’d learned, When the king heard the offer he said: Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to Fight! Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to die! |

3. | King Eochaid’s Fall | 05:30 | Show lyrics |
With the spear to his heart And the wind im his hair, To the Men of Dea, and he told them Of the Fir Bolg warrior Sreng. To Connacht they did march, Preparing battlements for war, Passing the mountain Belgata To arrive at the field of battle, At Magh Nia. The Trinity of the Tuatha, Badb, Macha and Anann, Arrived at Temhair Where the Fir Bolgs did rest. They cast a mist dark and deep And summoned showers Of fire and blood! The Fir Bolg’s engulfed in flame, Unable to see, unable to speak. Eleven battalions of the Fir Bolgs Marched and stood defiant on the East, Nuada sent Eochaid the offer, Eochaid refused, He would not show defeat. The war was delayed, By a quarter of a year, Armour, swords and spears ready Until the day of battle came. From both sides, three times nine hurlers Entered the battle but they will die. Four days passed, warriors did fall And on that day the tide was turned. The Men of Dea rose up, and fell On the Fir Bolgs like rain on the Earth. Eochaid went for a drink, His men not by his side, But the Tuatha not far behind. To the Strand they did go, Nuada’s Sons fought the King, Dragging him into the sea, Daggers endlessly piercing! Leaving a heap of stones where he died, The dead king now watches the sea. A victory for the Tuatha. This was the battle of Magh Tuiread. |

4. | Bres | 05:28 | Show lyrics |
During the fray of battle, Nuada did lose his arm, Cut off by the mighty Sreng. For the law of the Tuatha, That no man would be king Armless and beaten lost to his kin. The kingship now left for another to rise. The Sun blasts light Over mountains and skies, Banners in the distance, The High Men gather, A legacy for a new king. Spears to the sky, the Lia Fail screams New king arise, lead and guide! The Chosen of the land, Bres was his name, He lacked wisdom and knowledge, His rule brought shame. The Fomorians put a burden on his people, By the leadership of the tyrant. Their army was vast and feared by many, The Tuatha stood defiant. Taxes did bestow them, Bres failed them as a king. A debt on their cattle, How did this fate begin? Hated by the Tuatha, His halls empty and cold. No singers, dancers or music, No tales would be told. At a point during his rule, Cridenbel was met An old wretch of a man And this is how this tale began. Cridenbel did steal from The Dagda’s plate, Three pieces was the price, Weak and starving The Dagda suffered the worst. But his son he did see, A plan was made to feed The old man gold, Three pieces was the price. The deed was done, the old man died. Three pieces took his life. Bres gave orders for the Dagda, He went to the king, Cridenbel was opened. Gold lay within! Truth rings! Bres forever would have no good luck, Only failure, only Shame. Forever, forever! |

5. | Nuada of the Silver Arm | 05:30 | Show lyrics |
In the midst of that great battle, Nuada did loose his arm, War cries in the deep, Bodies at his feet, The air thick loud and deafening Steel through bone, fighting till death. He rose between the valleys, Let out his battle cry. A great sickness, claimed the king. Diancecht forge me a new arm! The smith started to plan, Lighting the fires once more. Forging the Silver Arm, In the great fires of Temhair Sparks and embers ignite. The clash of the Hammer on Steel, The Arm rising from the flames, The High King reborn, The High King now whole. Nuada Silver Arm, Nuada Airgead Lamh! Nuada Silver Arm, Nuada Airgead Lamh! Nuada returned to the Tuatha, At the great halls of Temhair, Now whole, he could claim Back the throne. Once again High King. Anger possessed Bres, He went to Eri for guidance. Seek your father, A ring of gold, Bres did claim. They left on a silver vessel, To the lands of the Fomor and their king, Upon reaching Fomorian shores, Elathan met his son Bres, And he sent him to meet Balor of the Evil Eye! Nuada Silver Arm, Nuada Airgead Lamh! Nuada Silver Arm, Nuada Airgead Lamh! |

As the sun shone on the day of battle, The Men of Dea rose up, Nuada and Lugh on the horizon Sending their armies to war. And still they march on, To protect their homes Spears and shields by their sides. The Battle was frantic, Many were lost, The King Nuada did fall. Lugh flew through the air with his spear Gael Bolga held tight. The horns of battle bellowing, Uniting the screams from both sides.

At Battles end… Dagda searched for his harp Uaitne was its name! A gift from the past, They went to a great hall Where Bres did reside. Only he could make it sing, Make it sound by his call. Inside he calls his harp, And at the sound of his voice Flew from the wall to his arms, Killing nine men on its way. Three songs he cast upon them, Three tunes to silence them all. As the harp rang out, The magic was cast. First tune brought fits of laughter, The second tune, a sea of despair, The last brought a deadly sleep, Never to wake again! Again! The song rang out, Over mountain and seas, Left as a memory to the past. The notes of Uaithne, from every corner And shore... |

1. | Arrival of the Tuatha | 05:41 | Show lyrics |
Ships of fire burst through The mist of the skies, The Tuatha Dé Danann, From the high air, arrive. Four corners of the world, Four cities, four wise men, Four treasures! Morias, Urias, Arias and Senias. Nuada the High King, Manannán, god of the Sea, Ogma god of Ogham, Diancécht god of Life, Éire, Fódla and Banba, And Dana the All Mother. The first day of Bealtaine, King Eochaid of the Fir Bolgs came With his army from the South. Residing in Magh Rein Till the day of battle arrived. The Tuatha arrived from the Northwest of Connacht To meet their enemy at Magh Rein. The calm before the storm, Winds whip through the fields of Temhair. King Eochaid had a dark vision, He told his druids, In turn they told the King That a strong enemy Was rising up against him, It would not be long till war would begin. |

2. | The Mighty Sreng | 03:38 | Show lyrics |
King Eochaid of the Fir Bolg’s, Had a meeting with his men, A warrior to face the Tuatha. His name the Mighty Sreng. In return watchers of the Tuatha Sent their own champion, Bres. Both warriors observed each other By the hillside of the mountain pass. Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to Fight! Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to die! The two became puzzled, When they spoke in their mother tongue. They spoke in Irish and came to speak, Laying down their shields for fear. Observing the craft of each other’s spear To learn each ways fatal! Craiseach was it’s name, The name Sreng gave them. Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to die! Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to fight! Bres turned to Sreng and said We will take half of Ireland! And if we can not, A war will begin, blood will flow. Sreng went back to his king, Told of what he’d learned, When the king heard the offer he said: Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to Fight! Raise your spears to the sky Sword and shield grasped tight! Eyes full of fire Magh Nia, ready and willing to die! |

3. | King Eochaid’s Fall | 05:30 | Show lyrics |
With the spear to his heart And the wind im his hair, To the Men of Dea, and he told them Of the Fir Bolg warrior Sreng. To Connacht they did march, Preparing battlements for war, Passing the mountain Belgata To arrive at the field of battle, At Magh Nia. The Trinity of the Tuatha, Badb, Macha and Anann, Arrived at Temhair Where the Fir Bolgs did rest. They cast a mist dark and deep And summoned showers Of fire and blood! The Fir Bolg’s engulfed in flame, Unable to see, unable to speak. Eleven battalions of the Fir Bolgs Marched and stood defiant on the East, Nuada sent Eochaid the offer, Eochaid refused, He would not show defeat. The war was delayed, By a quarter of a year, Armour, swords and spears ready Until the day of battle came. From both sides, three times nine hurlers Entered the battle but they will die. Four days passed, warriors did fall And on that day the tide was turned. The Men of Dea rose up, and fell On the Fir Bolgs like rain on the Earth. Eochaid went for a drink, His men not by his side, But the Tuatha not far behind. To the Strand they did go, Nuada’s Sons fought the King, Dragging him into the sea, Daggers endlessly piercing! Leaving a heap of stones where he died, The dead king now watches the sea. A victory for the Tuatha. This was the battle of Magh Tuiread. |

4. | Bres | 05:28 | Show lyrics |
During the fray of battle, Nuada did lose his arm, Cut off by the mighty Sreng. For the law of the Tuatha, That no man would be king Armless and beaten lost to his kin. The kingship now left for another to rise. The Sun blasts light Over mountains and skies, Banners in the distance, The High Men gather, A legacy for a new king. Spears to the sky, the Lia Fail screams New king arise, lead and guide! The Chosen of the land, Bres was his name, He lacked wisdom and knowledge, His rule brought shame. The Fomorians put a burden on his people, By the leadership of the tyrant. Their army was vast and feared by many, The Tuatha stood defiant. Taxes did bestow them, Bres failed them as a king. A debt on their cattle, How did this fate begin? Hated by the Tuatha, His halls empty and cold. No singers, dancers or music, No tales would be told. At a point during his rule, Cridenbel was met An old wretch of a man And this is how this tale began. Cridenbel did steal from The Dagda’s plate, Three pieces was the price, Weak and starving The Dagda suffered the worst. But his son he did see, A plan was made to feed The old man gold, Three pieces was the price. The deed was done, the old man died. Three pieces took his life. Bres gave orders for the Dagda, He went to the king, Cridenbel was opened. Gold lay within! Truth rings! Bres forever would have no good luck, Only failure, only Shame. Forever, forever! |

5. | Nuada of the Silver Arm | 05:30 | Show lyrics |
In the midst of that great battle, Nuada did loose his arm, War cries in the deep, Bodies at his feet, The air thick loud and deafening Steel through bone, fighting till death. He rose between the valleys, Let out his battle cry. A great sickness, claimed the king. Diancecht forge me a new arm! The smith started to plan, Lighting the fires once more. Forging the Silver Arm, In the great fires of Temhair Sparks and embers ignite. The clash of the Hammer on Steel, The Arm rising from the flames, The High King reborn, The High King now whole. Nuada Silver Arm, Nuada Airgead Lamh! Nuada Silver Arm, Nuada Airgead Lamh! Nuada returned to the Tuatha, At the great halls of Temhair, Now whole, he could claim Back the throne. Once again High King. Anger possessed Bres, He went to Eri for guidance. Seek your father, A ring of gold, Bres did claim. They left on a silver vessel, To the lands of the Fomor and their king, Upon reaching Fomorian shores, Elathan met his son Bres, And he sent him to meet Balor of the Evil Eye! Nuada Silver Arm, Nuada Airgead Lamh! Nuada Silver Arm, Nuada Airgead Lamh! |

As the sun shone on the day of battle, The Men of Dea rose up, Nuada and Lugh on the horizon Sending their armies to war. And still they march on, To protect their homes Spears and shields by their sides. The Battle was frantic, Many were lost, The King Nuada did fall. Lugh flew through the air with his spear Gael Bolga held tight. The horns of battle bellowing, Uniting the screams from both sides. A river of blood in its wake The Men Of Dea went forth To crush their enemies, The Fomorian horde. |

1. | Sons of Morna | 07:12 | Show lyrics |
Many years ago Cumhal led the Fianna, He was killed by the sons of Morna. Muirne his wife gave birth, to a son! Finn would lead them again. Raised by druids Liath and Bodhmall, He learned hunting and its craft, He was kept at Slieve Bladhma in secrecy, ‘Till the sons of Morna stopped at last. He grew up strong with long fair hair, And ran as fast as mighty stags, He left their care and travelled far, Reaching the shores of Loch Lein... For a time he served King of Finntraigh, Later looking for Crimall in Connacht. In fright he saw a woman covered in blood. A great warrior stood in the distance, As tall as old and sacred Oaks. Finn ran fuming and fought him, Blow for blow, both matched well. The sword delved deep, Killing one of the Sons of Morna! The King of Lochlann’s Helmet, Manannan’s Shirt and Knife, The Smith Hook of Goibhnu, King of Alban’s Shears... From Manannan to Lugh, To Ethlinn then to Cumhnal, To Finn! His legacy foretold... Down by the river Boinn, Finegas the druid found, Finn stayed and learned his ways, He fed from the Salmon of Knowledge! The Salmon of Knowledge! Wisdom and Knowledge! |

2. | King of Tara | 04:34 | Show lyrics |
Finn went to the High King of great Teamhair, Inside sat Goll a son of Morna, Among the Fianna Brave... Hatred in his eyes, Revenge marked on his mind. Finn grabbed a great horn, And proclaimed Loud and far: "I am Finn! Son Of Cumhal! Son Of Cumhal! He who was a King and friend to you all!! With that the King bade him welcome, And brought him into the great hall, But worry yet still stifled him, A great enemy from afar was to come... A man came alone, from the Tuatha he was, Breathing in flames spat, From his cursed mouth, He would burn up all of Teamhair. Aillen was his name, A Son of the Midhna proud, He played music of the Sidhe, Putting all to sleep. And then he would burn them alive... The King made a call to all his men, To go and fight this threat. Silence fell on that great hall, Till Finn spoke loud and great! "I will fight him on the morrow And rid the land of him." “Take my magic spear!” Proclaimed Fiachra. The day of battle came, The skies were black as sulphur, Aillen came playing with his harp, Fire burst from his mouth, Finn raised his crimson cloak. No damage befell him… protected from his spells... He ran to Slieve Fuad, Finn chasing him at his back. Finn gave chase, Armed with his spear and made a cast. Aillen did fall, His heart pierced by the magic spear. He cut off his head, And returned back to great Teamhair. On the top of a pole it stayed, On their highest wall. The great deed that Finn had done, Would be remembered by one and all. The Fianna raised up Finn, And they celebrated into the night! A new leader and king proclaimed: “It was his right!” King of Tara! Hail! Hail! King of Tara! Hail! Hail! King of Tara! Hail! |

Muirne came to Almhuin with Tuiren, To reach Iollain Eachtach, Chief of Fianna strong and old. They fell in a deep love, And they asked Finn to give his word. “Protect her and she will be yours!” In the blackest corners of the Sidhe, An old flame of Iollain did burn. Uchtdealb burned with jealousy at this union. She changed herself into The guise of Finn’s messenger. She entered the halls and told Tuiren: “You must create a great feast, And come with me now.” And with that the dark druid rod appeared. She changed poor Tuiren into a hound. She brought her then to Fergus Fionnlaith, King Of Gallimh. Uchtdealb proclaimed to him that he must Look after the hound till it goes to Finn, Tuiren gave birth to two pups. With Tuiren forever lost, Iollain went to the hill To meet with Uchtdealb. He offered himself instead of Tuiren to Finn. She made a new offer and told him. “If you stay with me forever, I will change her back.” He agreed and Tuiren was sent back To Finn in Human form. She married Lugaidh Lamha. Finn named the hounds: Bran and Sceolan. |

On the plains of Almhuin, I lost her there, to that druid. Searching with Bran and Sceolan, Over every land and the rivers. With every passing year, the pain grows. My heart crushed with her loss. A crown empty, useless, A light shines through the trees. In my mind a deer appears, In the glade of the forest. Lonely halls of mine, Lost to the ages. In the forest black. Her name is marked in the trees, In my mind she appears, In the glade of the forest. |

5. | Caoilte | 06:02 | Show lyrics |
On a dark and stormy night, Finn was kidnapped, By the High King of Teamhair, Blamed for battles due to the Fianna. His warrior Caoilte came to his aid. Caoilte rose up and went searching for him, First killing Cuireach, a Leinster King. A madness took him with sorrow and flame Burning and hacking the fields. Wherever the blistering red wind blew, He would destroy all in his sight. He killed one in every house, And set their homes alight... He cloaked himself in darkness, And entered the ivory palace, A candle burning in his hands. He watched the great kings feast. The King suddenly took notice, Finn closed his mind to this thought. Caoilte came to the king and asked him What he must do to free Finn. “Collect every wild animal of Ireland” Caoilte left as soon as it was said, He ran as fast as the steeds of Macha, Gathering birds of every type and shape. After this feat he would tackle the beasts, Strong and wild as Ireland itself. To save Finn this would be the task, All the greatness for Caoilte till the end. Two ravens from Fiodh Da Bheann, Two swans from blue Dobhran, Two owls from Faradhruim, Two herons from Corrain Cleibh, Two redbreasts from the Great Wood, Two foxes from Slieve Cuilinn, Two oxen from the Burren, Two wolves from Broit Cliathach, Two salmons from Eas Mhic Muirne, Two deers from Gleann na Smoil, Ten hounds of the Fianna, One of Manannan’s steeds, Two pigs of the son of Lir, An old ram from Innis. Caoilte had a great chaos on his hands, With all the birds and beast to control. When he returned to Teamhair, The King gave him a house with nine doors. The next day he arrived, To thank Caoilte for the task, No sooner had he spoke, All the birds and beasts escaped, Like rays of the Sun in every direction! Finn had gained his freedom, Caoilte remained by his side, Till the end of his days. One of the finest of the Fianna... |

Great battalions of the Fianna rose, That day to fight the armies of Mal, Banners and flags cover the skies. The sun blinding the warriors, Swords and shields clash, Blood curdling screams, Many bodies pile high, A horn bellows, A standing stone to the sky! Smoke and flame, Spears and banners ablaze, Embers crumbling into the earth, Warriors and heroes dead. The waves of the shore pass over them… With many dead on both sides, The Fianna came with Luideagh’s son To put an end to Mal for good. Luidheagh’s son and Mal met face to face, Ready to deliver the finishing blow, To this battle. In the end Luidheagh made a cast Pouring power into his spear. It broke through Mal and burst his heart, Exploding out through his body clear. The Fianna roared and sang out loud, From every field and every plain. Luideagh’s son and Aoife, Would stay together ‘till the end. Finn climbed high, And called the Fianna brave. “The enemy has broken, We have won!” |

One day in Almhuin, head to toe in skins, A man came with his wife, They offered their service to Finn. Hunting in the marshlands, With the Fianna by his side, Conan began to worry, This man killed more than Finn. “Send him to the King of Floods, Send him far away, Bring back that cauldron, That could feed all in a day!” Finn bade him to go, to meet with that King, And with that he went to shores of the sea. Two arms outstretched, And struck two sticks together, A great boat rose up and came into view. He went across the vast seas, The house in his sight. The king had a great feast, The opportunity was rife! The lad of the skins feigned hunger and thirst, With that outburst the cauldron was passed, But no sooner that he had the vessels, The King of the Floods came with his army, To get his treasure back. The lad fought them, And went to make an end to them. The silence that befell the shores, As silent as the dead. He headed back to Almhuin, With the cauldron in his grasp, Back to mighty Finn. Finn and the lad fought strong and well, They ran to the King’s Dun, And beheaded him, Many were slain, Victory turned to Misery! When they went back they were attacked, The lad took many forms, And never held back. He died of his wounds in the form of a bird, A red flag raised to the shore! His wife bade Finn To push her out to the sea, Violent and chaotic the waves crashed, A silhouette of warriors stood, Looking into the horizon. Finn pushed the boat out, And the wind and waves heard the call. Lir took her in his outstretched arms, And she disappeared... |

In Teamhair dark and old, Finn was hunting, When three great heroes came, In search of him. “We are Dubh, Dun and Liath, And we wish to serve you!” Finn then cut a tree into three and said: “Each of you will stay guard For a part of the night, Until your piece of log has burnt out.” Dubh with Bran claimed a cup that could Never empty, from an ancient house. Dun went out at the second watch, And saw a great house in flame! A crowd fighting inside it. It was the Knife of Division at work, Dun stole it quick, And returned back into the shadow. Liath took his flaming torch, For the third and final watch! He journeyed far into the night, ‘Till he came to another house. The stench of death in the air, Bodies littered the hall. Fear consumed him, And he hid himself inside, Under the shields and bodies Of those fallen warriors. There he did wait... A monstrous old Hag came into the house And began to eat the dead. One after one she preferred fat And left the lean. When she was full she fell asleep, A thud on the bloody floor. Liath grabbed his mighty sword And bided his time. He lept quickly and killed her there and then. Three bodies fled from her corpse... Killing the first two with Bran’s help, The third escaped! Returning to Finn, the three told all their tales Finn thanked Dubh and Dun, but told Liath: “It would have been best to leave the Hag be, I fear the third man may be trouble!” In Teamhair dark and old, Finn now King, sits with the Fianna. This is only the beginning of his story. Warriors dead and gone, Stags roam the countryside, And the wind sings of the past... |

When they went back they were attacked, The lad took many forms, And never held back. He died of his wounds in the form of a bird, A red flag raised to the shore! His wife bade Finn To push her out to the sea, Violent and chaotic the waves crashed, A silhouette of warriors stood, Looking into the horizon. Finn pushed the boat out, And the wind and waves heard the call. Lir took her in his outstretched arms, And she disappeared... |

10. | Dubh, Dun Agus Liath | 07:21 | Show lyrics |
In Teamhair dark and old, Finn was hunting, When three great heroes came, In search of him. “We are Dubh, Dun and Liath, And we wish to serve you!” Finn then cut a tree into three and said: “Each of you will stay guard For a part of the night, Until your piece of log has burnt out.” Dubh with Bran claimed a cup that could Never empty, from an ancient house. Dun went out at the second watch, And saw a great house in flame! A crowd fighting inside it. It was the Knife of Division at work, Dun stole it quick, And returned back into the shadow. Liath took his flaming torch, For the third and final watch! He journeyed far into the night, ‘Till he came to another house. The stench of death in the air, Bodies littered the hall. Fear consumed him, And he hid himself inside, Under the shields and bodies Of those fallen warriors. There he did wait... A monstrous old Hag came into the house And began to eat the dead. One after one she preferred fat And left the lean. When she was full she fell asleep, A thud on the bloody floor. Liath grabbed his mighty sword And bided his time. He lept quickly and killed her there and then. Three bodies fled from her corpse... Killing the first two with Bran’s help, The third escaped! Returning to Finn, the three told all their tales Finn thanked Dubh and Dun, but told Liath: “It would have been best to leave the Hag be, I fear the third man may be trouble!” In Teamhair dark and old, Finn now King, sits with the Fianna. This is only the beginning of his story. Warriors dead and gone, Stags roam the countryside, And the wind sings of the past... |
