Mael Mórdha - Damned When Dead lyrics

The earth cold and damp presses against my shroud Mortality has fled my mortal frame Immortal will forever be my name This earth has drank much blood In the fight to save my land Strange it is this feeling knowing my crown has pa**ed to the Gall's hand The bells knell in sorrow as I am lowered down The cold earth is silent for a time My headstone, a cross of stone, bears my name To remind all men that here I lie Deep within the bosom of the world I finally become aware Noises that I cannot comprehend Whispers at first but now a roar Deafening it is. Fear does grip my soul What is this ancient horror that calls me to its own? A thunderous crack sounds overhead As my cross is shorn in two Has God pa**ed sentence on my life? I fear it could be true My soul is slowly being s**ed back to whence it came Slowly I realise it be not God Manannán be his name The earth which I no longer feel press against my skin The shroud half hanging from my corpse Trailing still within the bog which spews me up from the bowels Of this ancient land I knees Ochone, what is this hell on earth Is this what from my dreams grew? Putrid when living. Damned when dead
