|
A tale of honor |
|
I will now tell |
|
About a man, strong and true |
|
Brian Boru was his name |
|
And through his deeds a nation grew |
|
He was born in a time of bondage |
|
The viking raiders claimed his lands |
|
His hatred grew when he saw his mother |
|
Killing by vicious viking hands |
|
His brother |
|
Mahon strived for peace |
|
Brian knew it would never come |
|
The vikings have us by the throat! |
|
They kill our children just for |
|
Boru left with a group of men |
|
They rode into the fading light |
|
He would attack the many viking camps |
|
And vanish in the dark of night |
|
Brian Boru, our beloved son |
|
Fought the |
|
Dane, he fought and won |
|
Losy his life at eighty eight |
|
Death by a viking blade was his fate |
|
Brian Boru, our last |
|
Ard Ri Led the |
|
Gael to victory |
|
Could not stand his countries plight |
|
He removed the vikings from his sight |
|
Malachy, the king of |
|
Meath, with |
|
Brian face to face |
|
They both agreed that |
|
Brian should take |
|
The monarchy of the |
|
Gaelic race |
|
Brian had much word to do |
|
To heal the wounds of |
|
Danish reign |
|
He planned a massive call to arms |
|
To remove the last of the |
|
Dane To Clontarf |
|
Brian's army marched |
|
To give the |
|
Dane their final fight |
|
The army charged with swords help high |
|
The viking line was soon in sight |
|
The battle rages for many hours |
|
And many fine warriors fell |
|
But victory was always ours |
|
The Gaelic might could not be quelled |
|
Brian Boru, our beloved son |
|
Fought the |
|
Dane, he fought and won |
|
Losy his life at eighty eight |
|
Death by a viking blade was his fate |
|
Brian Boru, our last |
|
Ard Ri Led the |
|
Gael to victory |
|
Could not stand his countries plight |
|
He removed the vikings from his sight |
