Waylander - Emain Macha Lyrics
O'er the seven hills of MachaIn an age now passed byLived a people once forgottenBeneath an ancient skyFor protection they had warriorsUnsurpassed on Eireann's shoreWarriors of the Craobh RuaAn eternal name in loreThe Rí he Dwelt at EmainArd-Rí of Ulaidh's LandThe people they had PlentyUnder Ard-Rí's Mighty HandCruinneach in your arroganceAnd boastfulness and prideEvoking a curseUpon your own kindCurse of a woman!Due to man's boastfulnessAnd the follyness of manMan, may yet pay dueA curse I place on youA curse I place on youA weakness like a woman near her timeOnce in every cycle, Ulaidh's strengthWill fail to shine, fail, fail to shineMan may yet pay dueA curse I place on youA curse I place on, curse I place on youBut in Ulaidh's hour of needMighty Lugh did pay heedHe begot a son at Brú na BóinneUnder a sign of great tragedySetanta as a boy, as a boy, as a boyCú Chulainn, as a man, as a man, as a manStanding alone against Connaught's mightOne against all, the eternal fightChampions they cameChampions they did fallStanding aloneCú chulainn, slew them all!For the pride of Emain Macha, Emain Macha, Emain MachaFor the pride of Emain Macha, Emain Macha, Emain MachaFor the pride of Emain Macha, Emain Macha, Emain MachaPride of Emain MachaThat special seat of power
