Mael Mórdha - All Éire Will Quake lyrics

Such a force of men as Diarmuid's new troops were, had not been seen in Éire before, Exen with such a small number of soldiers. Mac Murchadha did achieve a dominance that rattled the other king. In sueing for peace it was agreed that Diarmuid would be reinstated as King of Laighin in return for him giving his son, Conchobhair, as a hostage to the High-King Ruaidhrí, and sendind home his new troops. Diarmuid, of course, had other ideas. Ua Ruaire you ba*tard. Ua Conchobhair you fool. In the name of Mac Murchadha do I rule With Grey Foreigners at my command All Éire will quake. The Kings wake To the burning of their Dúns, The waiting og their women The crying of their children And the d**h-moan of their men As their souls leak from their rotting corpses To whatever Gods do they believe in. Did you really think, oh mighty Ard Righ That I would send my warriors home And once more groan under your yoke? You misguided fool, soon we'll do the battle At my command All Éire will quake. The Kings wake To the burning of their Dúns, The waiting og their women The crying of their children And the d**h-moan of their men As their souls leak from their rotting corpses To whatever Gods do they believe in. Waiting for my time to come. Hoping that my plans be not undone. For my time it be at hand To finnaly reclaim my land. Horror. The Ard Righ still has my son. Despair. He would not dare to k** my son. Hostage. So I could turn to my land. Ochone. My scheme undone by d**h's hand.
