Newgrange (Brù Na Bòinne) |
Your mysteries lay hidden in stones that can’t speak, |
Thru' time all your wondrous knowledge we seek, |
Be ye tomb or a temple we’d like to know why |
On mid-winter's morning you seek light from the sky, |
Your white quartz stones must have brightened the days |
When the sun it shone down and reflected it’s rays, |
You refuse us a key or some Rosetta Stone, |
We gaze on just Circles and Motifs and Bone. |
Chorus: |
Sing away Bru/ na Bo/inne on the Banks of the Boyne, |
Fal de da for your glory would not yield to time, |
Glory o! |
to the men and the women laid to rest |
Who brought greatness to Ireland, the Isle of the Blessed. |
From your pillars of grandeur and the answer is sought, |
When the tombs of the Pharoahs were only a thought, |
Irish folk in their labour looked up from the Boyne |
To see standing a temple that would not yield to time. |
You saw Cheftains, Na Fianna and monks stopped to call |
And they trampled the hills onto Tara’s Royal Halls, |
And they watched on the Cradle of our art and design |
That inspired Irish artists much later in time. |
Chorus: |
For you’re set in a county still Royal with it’s arms |
With a river of beauty with countless wild charms. |
You stand there majestic and tower on the plain, |
And your Passage of Wonder a secret remains. |
So be proud all of Ireland of a history long gone, |
That inspired generations of men later on. |
Your age is your greatness and a testament still |
As we look at Bru/ na Bo/inne on a Co. Meath hill |
