Flying went the Ficheal Board as Mael Mórdha entered a rage At the sons of the Boróimhe for the taunts which they spoke About deeds past of which they scarcely knew Mighty was the fury into which the King flew Back, back, back he rode, from the High King's Dún Brían's messenger with peace offering had his skull clove in two The sea between Laighean and the Lochlannaigh host Grew thick with their dragonboats fierce as Sitric Norse King of Dubh Linn summoned a great host With Gormfhlaith, Mórdha's sister, as the main bait The Norsemen flocked from the Shetlands, Hebrides and Orkneys The holy land of Mannanán, halfway across the sea From Cornwall, Flanders and Normandy, they came for the melée Brían on hearing of invaders Many gathered his clans and headed east At Cluain Tarbh they did assemble And prepared for great slaughter Flying the banner of the raven black The Lochlannaigh host did attack Victory prophesized on that day: Good Friday 1014 Gael fought Viking fought Viking fought Gael As their weapons drank their fill The tide was turning against Ború 'Til Mael Seachlainn arrived with forces new D'eitilt an Mórrigán trasna Cluain Tarbh The warriors of Wodea turned and fled The Boróimhe forces led great slughter Mannanán took their longships The sea turned red Brodar came from Man seeking Brían's wife Brodar fled the battle taking Brían's life He fought a bloody fight at the edge of Tomar's wood Cutting the High King down in his tent: Brían's Shieldgeld then slew Brodar too Many men went to Valhalla still more to Donn's cave Though the power of the Lochlannaigh was broken on that day Did die the kings of Orkney, Hebrides and Man So too did die Mael Mórdha, did the sons of Brían's clan The Kingship of Ériu did revert to the King of old Mael Seachlainn returned to Tara to reclaim its halls as his own

I have been listening to this band for the past year(new fan) and I'm proud to hear an Irish metal band sing about our countries history and legends. I was wondering if anyone knew if they are still together since they haven't put music out since 2013?

[@doctorscobes]

No longer together but three of the members are in Death The Leveller

[@bananaman_04]

@@doctorscobes that’s too bad. Thanks for the reply. Are they worth listening to?

[@squimbio]

@@bananaman_04 They're decent. Another member went on to make songs under the name "Uaigneas"

[@Ignacio278100]

What is Donn's Cave? can't find any information on it

[@Ignacio278100]

Thanks man!

Maith Thú a Daithí. Tá an cheart agat faoi ár dteanga agus faoi Donn comh maith. He's bang on Angus. Better than I could have put it myself - Rob (the lad who wrote the lyrics).
