The Calling Pipes

I have seen the staggering doomed
in a cold flush take our dead
whilst I sleep silent beside them
awoken by fire and noise
and to where does hunger seek the living
as light transcends from their eyes
heavens falling to crush the burdened
under black earth that rains down from the sky
engulfed with tragedy
at the horrors of lost kin
among storms of the war shrieking by
its dust winds a wealth of orphans
a generation of widows
an army of fallen brothers
theyre calling..
and we march with cold hands still gripping
with our feet in right marshal for the snow
but have we not a song for the fallen
our tongues sing the dead ones ive loved
and ive loved..
we would rapture some night in earthed rampart
with stories of a memory faded dress
once I slept silent beside her
awoken in lands far from home
under no mans circumstances
under no gods prophecy
our paths crestfallen
in a winters grave

Taimid Bas d'Eirinn

Twelve days on the marbles of Armagh
we feast and we laugh and we sing
not flesh of men nor mortal decay
have we but the heart of kings
Now raise up your colors, lads!
for Ireland we die
and die in indomitable voice
for the dusking tides to carry their ships
with the weight of two hundred years
The spirit of our ancestors cry out to the winds!
with my back to my sons and my heart to the east
Taimid bas deirinn!
dilis! Ardri!

Wanderings of Khaibut
07:34

Shapeless watchers
gaze from the dark recess of night
curse us khaibut
in lost wandering dream
the old ones would be happy forever
in a state neither needing food nor casting shadows
thy only
thy soul
we were born over the cruelest of stone
the old world growing further through us
casting profiles of atrocities across the wall
awakening us from our figures
