Awake, proud Cú Chulainn From thy deep dark slumber Heard the sounds of war-horn And of swords that are shattering Awake, proud Cú Chulainn Haste thee to the battle Hear Aoife's battle cries echoing And the swords that she is shattering Wielding mighty Dacian Steel She stands victorious on the battlefield No hero, not Scáthach herself Could ever hope to make her yeld For on this day, many years ago It happened that her prince was slain Driving her chariot and swingin her sword Now she seeks vengeance in his name Slay, proud Cú Chulainn Make her warriors bleed Tides of war are riding Three warriors at your feet Now Aoife herself is charging And your sword will soon be shattering Three mighty blows the princess dealt And with the fourth, the warrior fell His weapon, broken off at the hilt Cú Chulainn now will soon be killed Yet, right before the final strike Aoife heard Scáthach's distant cry "Ah, look, Aoife's two horses and her chariot They have fallen down the glen an have all perished" Ad she paused to glance around Cú Chulainn sprang out, threw her to the ground "Life for life", Aoife suddendly cried "Three demands to me", the hero replied "Give in to Scáthach Nor ever defy her again On this island you 'll always remain Bear me a son Conlaoch will be his name!" To all this, Aoife agreed For this brave man who had made her yield Reminded her of her long lost love And, finally, she found peace.
That's scary... I went to click the link, thought "My buddy Andy would really dig these guys..." and planned on suggesting them. But then I thought "How do I pronounce the band name?" JUST as I scrolled down. You people are amazing.
Awake, proud Cú Chulainn
From thy deep dark slumber
Heard the sounds of war-horn
And of swords that are shattering
Awake, proud Cú Chulainn
Haste thee to the battle
Hear Aoife's battle cries echoing
And the swords that she is shattering
Wielding mighty Dacian Steel
She stands victorious on the battlefield
No hero, not Scáthach herself
Could ever hope to make her yeld
For on this day, many years ago
It happened that her prince was slain
Driving her chariot and swingin her sword
Now she seeks vengeance in his name
Slay, proud Cú Chulainn
Make her warriors bleed
Tides of war are riding
Three warriors at your feet
Now Aoife herself is charging
And your sword will soon be shattering
Three mighty blows the princess dealt
And with the fourth, the warrior fell
His weapon, broken off at the hilt
Cú Chulainn now will soon be killed
Yet, right before the final strike
Aoife heard Scáthach's distant cry
"Ah, look, Aoife's two horses and her chariot
They have fallen down the glen an have all perished"
Ad she paused to glance around
Cú Chulainn sprang out, threw her to the ground
"Life for life", Aoife suddendly cried
"Three demands to me", the hero replied
"Give in to Scáthach
Nor ever defy her again
On this island you 'll always remain
Bear me a son
Conlaoch will be his name!"
To all this, Aoife agreed
For this brave man who had made her yield
Reminded her of her long lost love
And, finally, she found peace.
