Battle-Cairns |
Towards an empty land we sailed* |
Nemed, our father, led the way |
Towards the home of the brave and free |
Towards our isle of destiny |
We raised two forts and cleared twelve plains |
We worked the land and claimed our place |
Four lakes burst up out of the ground |
We sacrificed on sacred mounds |
But gods envy the delights of men! |
A terrible evil swarmed ashore |
And with them came disease and war |
Their runed flesh was foul and black |
In battle their two kings were met |
Three thousand Nemedians fell that day |
A pillar of stone was raised for each man slain |
Three thousand pillars on the plain |
Nemed himself soon died of plague |
Two thirds of all we had, they claimed |
One last assault on Conand’s tower |
One final attempt to end the terror |
Through mists of time |
Sound bloody chimes |
Of clashing shields |
Of arrows soaring |
Of battle-horns |
And stones roaring |
Score sixty thousand fought that day |
Conand and his heirs were slain |
The Fomorian tower of strength lay waste |
More pillars on the plains were raised |
Yet Morc returned from across the waves |
Countless demons retaliate |
On rhythms of rage he wrote our fate |
Thirty Nemedians survived that day |
In utter defeat we sailed away |
Leaving behind our sacred ground |
Where naught of us remained… |
But battle-pillars on the plains |
