Lyrics

On the day of the de danann rule
Breas ruled the pagan lands
He led his people as a fool
Under the shadow of balors hand
The tuatha de lived a life of pain
In body and spirit their weakness grew
As though their battle was in vain
This can't go on the people knew

Dagda, all father, once god and provider
Fell into disgrace with the king
The food he recieved would not feed a spider
-The best pieces, cridinbel would win
Aengus was shoked by the state of his father
"Crindinbel must die", he did say

He put gold in the food, and the food on the platter
Crindinbel fell dead on that sacred day

Nuada awoke from the otherworld dream
His hand was forged by the gods
Water was brought from the healing stream
"You will be king?". -he nods

Breas journied to the fomor lands
And met his fomorian father
They held each other in their hands
Their kinship would stay hereafter

The il-dana came to meet with nuada
The greatest hero of the tuatha de
The fomor arrived for their early tax
These savages il-dana did slay

Balor declared war and sent his tribes
Nuada prepared as did the scribes

Samhain approached and tensions were high
Dagda went to the fomor spy
Breas the dishonoured led a fomor invasion
The il-dana won this first battle occasion

Back to moytura the de danann returned
They set up camp and the pagan fires burned
The first day of battle was a mighty event
Druids were chanting as the scouts forth were sent

A great clash of shields
Cries of was frenzy
Blood fell on fields
Each warrior the enemy

Nuada killed indech
The king of the fomor
The worm god was unleashed
With a taste for war

Nuada raised his sword of light
Against the mighty cromcruach
Balor caught uhim in his sight
Nuada died a hero's death

But balor to the ground was cast
Il-dana was the new high king
De danann heroes won at last
Never again to laugh and sing
