Worn am I, drained of life | |
Though this world of plenty be more than I deserve | |
So much blood and slaughter | |
Still stain my hands | |
Once crimson, now crusted | |
A sure sign of one damned | |
Now I know that I've been here | |
Many times before | |
The harbinger of doom | |
Knocking on the door | |
Of the Gaedhil | |
Who constantly deny and trample on the will of the Shidhe | |
For at Maigh Turadh, I was Balor | |
And at Tailteann, Eibher Fionn | |
I choked the great King Cormac with my bones which were too strong | |
Then I was Pádraig, the bringer of the boy god | |
I forced the will of Árd Macha on the kingdoms of the south | |
Now the man who has brought ruin on the family of Ború | |
In response to the gold offerings placed to endorse the same Christ's rule | |
And condemn his family's Bean Sidhe to the rocks near Ceann Cora | |
The doom of the races of Éire for destroying the gods of yore |
Worn am I, drained of life | |
Though this world of plenty be more than I deserve | |
So much blood and slaughter | |
Still stain my hands | |
Once crimson, now crusted | |
A sure sign of one damned | |
Now I know that I' ve been here | |
Many times before | |
The harbinger of doom | |
Knocking on the door | |
Of the Gaedhil | |
Who constantly deny and trample on the will of the Shidhe | |
For at Maigh Turadh, I was Balor | |
And at Tailteann, Eibher Fionn | |
I choked the great King Cormac with my bones which were too strong | |
Then I was Pa draig, the bringer of the boy god | |
I forced the will of Á rd Macha on the kingdoms of the south | |
Now the man who has brought ruin on the family of Boru | |
In response to the gold offerings placed to endorse the same Christ' s rule | |
And condemn his family' s Bean Sidhe to the rocks near Ceann Cora | |
The doom of the races of É ire for destroying the gods of yore |
Worn am I, drained of life | |
Though this world of plenty be more than I deserve | |
So much blood and slaughter | |
Still stain my hands | |
Once crimson, now crusted | |
A sure sign of one damned | |
Now I know that I' ve been here | |
Many times before | |
The harbinger of doom | |
Knocking on the door | |

Who constantly deny and trample on the will of the Shidhe | |
