[Cairn Warrior's Atrocious Assertion to War:] I (still) admire the flow of echoing horns. Mimicking blows so boldly, I hear... I stand visibly, high, on this splendid bastion, To remember a High King, a tyrant of no fear
I am the first son: a commander without a father, "Fortuitous doom," the last of his predictions. I'll take advantage by igniting the balusters... Preparing enraged flames with sweltering speed.
[Chorus I - Cairn Warrior and Art Aenfer's War Exclamation (High King of Tara):] (THESE ARE THE) PILLARS OF MERCY! Today, I am callous... Tomorrow, I am king - Immortal, strong, exultant, and conquering!
[Chorus II:] PILLARS OF MERCY! My song and my word are iniquitous - Gathering assemblies in days gone by!
[Chorus III:] (FIRE BURNS WITH THE) PILLARS OF MERCY! My chariot races through saw-toothed hills, And hurls through every valley and mere!
[Chorus IV:] PILLARS OF MERCY! Watchtowers collapse before the lift of the twilight, I am swift in battle- My voice is heard! PILLARS OF MERCY!
Frost, fire, and wind are pelting all the columns... There is no dilution for them to fight again! Only three chariots are seen on the charred plains - Through all the throngs and clusters, lambs and stallions!
"If you should speak to me now, Then I will chamber Tara's pinnacle. Why my father? Another damning scuffle? I (still) admire the sound of echoing horns!"
[Chorus V - Cairn Warrior and Art Aenfer's War Exclamation (High King of Tara):] (THOSE WERE THE) PILLARS OF MERCY! Frenzied vultures gnawed the necks of dead men, As the sturdy, gilded columns had seethed!
[Chorus VI:] PILLARS OF MERCY! Enemies' blood spurted like volley sprigs- The blustery fight was planned, then fought!
[Chorus VII:] (FLAMES FLAYED ON THE) PILLARS OF MERCY! Their vapid minds were troubled and sides were pierced- And warlike deeds had been fulfilled!
[Chorus VIII:] PILLARS OF MERCY! We saluted chieftains on the regal Tara - We hailed the tyrants that governed our waters! PILLARS OF MERCY! STRIKE!
[Terminus:] There shall be no lack of dignity, For those who oppose them.
[Repeat Terminus]
"THERE WILL BE PILLARS OF MERCY!"
2. A Shield with an Iron Face
[MongЎn:] A Cairn warrior dressed in his harness feeling fury and frenzy. His silky top had blood stained gauze stretched across his pecks. His tartan had lines of symmetry running east and west. An embellished shield with an iron face was embraced in his left hand.
[Bridge - Eremon (Chieftain of Cairn):] "I welcome thee, o' victorious, I'm skirmishing...at the lift!" "I welcome thee, o' victorious, I'm skirmishing...by the dark!"
[MongЎn:] He rushed to feed the fire, As honor gained him a home - He veered beyond the pyres, The Son of Cairn sat enthroned. An iron shield gaped toward the sky, With oak wood and leather backing; Reprisal lead the way to his mind, And so it did.
[Cairn Warrior's Question of Vindication:] "CЎ bhfuilimid ag dul amarach?" ("Where are we marching tomorrow?")
[Chorus - IoldЎnach:] A shield with an iron face gapes towards the sky, The death of a man is never going to die. A resolute falcon gawks back at the armor - On the wing, yet on the lifting hour.
[Repeat Bridge - Eremon (Chieftain of Cairn)]
3. ManannЎn
[ManannЎn's Notions from Emain Ablhach:] I am a wave: on the rapt CythrЎul I am a flood: across the croggy plain I am a wind: of seven gales I am a tear: the Sun lets fall
[Chorus I:] I am ManannЎn Mac Lir Noble warrior of lycanthropy I am Fachtna High King To shake thy cloak shall bring outbreak
I am a tide: that drags to engulfment I am a current: a compass towards Visnech I am a tempest: the onslaught of outburst I am a zephyr: theirs is second pain
[Chorus II:] I am ManannЎn Mac Lir Avatar from sail to sea Thy horse Aonbharr Grand Steed Chariots forever lead
I am an ocean's womb: of all abysms I am a blaze: for every burning bathym I am a lure: of the plumbless benthos I am a breaker: bottomlessness doom
[Chorus III:] I am ManannЎn Mac Lir Shape-changer; Lar of deep Thy sword Fragarch "The Answerer..."
[Bridge:] Remember me, thou art all wind And back with gusts thou shalt return
I'm the hawk: above this cliff, behind the waves I'm the thorn: exude this rose, yet fleece the sky ...FLEECE THE SKY
I'm the hill: where poets walk and Tara lies I'm the throne: from a tantalizing glimpse ...FROM A TANTALIZING GLIMPSE
[Repeat 4th & 5th Verse]
[Chorus IV:] Hear the thunder roll I am ManannЎn, And fear the sky shall fall [x5]
[Repeat Chorus IV]
4. The Cognate House of Courtly Witches Lies West of County Meath
[Cairn Warrior's Appetency of Invultuation:] I am the one to seek the courtly witch - She is the one to find me. I am the one to yearn the dazzling bitch - She is the one to bind me. So I say, the spell has begun!
[Tea (Courtly Witch):] "The darkness is starting and control is done..."
[Cairn Warrior:] Stones of power inside this sphere are stark stones of magick - I am joining the mystic ring, with this woman, as we implore. We do implore. I am aiding the mystic writ; I am gifted knowledge from deep wells!
[Chorus - Cairn Warrior's First Myaltic Rite:] Candle of fire, candle of might, Create my desires here on this night - This candles stream is suddenly flaming higher!
Bring to me my heart's desire, My words of strength are suddenly hung, So I proudly state this spell has begun!
[Cairn Warrior:] Stones of power within ire are strong stones of cabal. I am joined int he magick round, with this bitch, as we implore. We shall explore. With Paralda by my side, I am granted sylphs and zephyrs!
[Cairn Warrior's Second Myaltic Rite:] Show me the rings of your cosmic fire, Make my pathway carved and clear. Give me a code that's no will of mine, To show me your presence is here!
[Repeat Cairn Warrior's Second Myaltic Rite]
[Chorus II - Cairn Warrior's Last Myaltic Rite:] Courtly witch of the beast - Courtly bitch of the daring arm, I am your tyro, yet never alarmed!
A dash of thistle, and in my dreams - Give me the silver-gilt key, That will unlock the spell... Courtly witch, assist me!
5. She Cries the Quiet Lake
[Cairn Warrior in Advocated Manner:] Stones of power Stillness of her spawn Gems of symbols Re-illuminating Dawn She cries the quiet lake
Weeping waters Taciturnity Found She cries the quiet lake
Dripping ruptures Immortality Bound
Enduring: death is mine to keep Timelessness: unborn in timely shape Balancing: between stone and sky Promulgate: lamentations
Continually: she wails and she whines Nonetheless: linking stone to sky Leveling: the tarns to the tides Circulate: limpid-forming tears
[Tea's Diktat:] "The darkness is starting and control is done: The cosmic light is fading, as the shadow's won."
[Chorus - Cairn Warrior in Encouraged Mode:] It's the lake of your liquid, glass heart It's bringing your writ; it's bringing you tears It's filling your thirst and never with fears It's the tears of my liquid, glass heart
[Repeat Chorus - Cairn Warrior in Encouraged Mode]
6. From Ancient Times (Starless Skies Burn to Ash)
Blazing to their pikes Turning to dust Gusting with the wind They (still) dream of an older delusion
Reigning, raining Dampening the empire Their excursion burns with the ashes
Calm lakes mirrored Glistening everywhere They rove through the waters and fires
Silent seas paused Enlightening low light Their visions for imperishability
The weakened flesh Expecting downfall Their ashes spread through lightless, starless skies
The Eminence Not expecting wind They (now) think of a newer illusion
[Chorus:] PRAISE - The ancient times AS EARTH - Equates their end COMMAND - The ancient times LIKE TARA - Shall never pretend DIES - Irae, dies illa QUIDQUID - Latet adparebit NIL - Inultum remanebit DEPOSE - Towards ancient times
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat All Verses In Reversed Order Excluding The First & Last]
7. Four Crossed Wands (Spell 181)
[Chorus I:] I'm the Knight of Wands- Yodh is in the name I'm swift and violent: TRANSIENT! The fiery part of Fire- I'm a lightning flash Between the symbol, And the natal force.

I travel Earth in the train of You. I offer Earth to reach the field of You. I walk Earth to see the mark of You. I proffer Earth to feel the lure of You. (182) (FOREKNOWLEDGE)
Hail to you, prime mover of the Deep. Sun of the heart: possessor of Voids. The awe of whom created This. The thirst of this revered Abyss. (182) (ADAEOT)

9. Stone of Destiny (...for Magh Slecht and Ard Righ)
We are three high kings in honor. We are the midst of Dagda's spell - We are three armored forces, and We are the gold-torqued leaders. Three wild horsemen: Three fearless in combat - Three gold-crowned conjurers of clash, yet Three clannish chiefs from the Kingdom of Midhe...
The leading, foremost tyrant - The subsequent tormentor, and The past intimidator of CythrЎul Are impending. "Has there ever been a better idol than Dagda? Will there ever be a better icon than myself?"
"In the yes of myself, I fervently speak." The trio goes out at dawn. Fiercely, we plan to fight our assailants: Three of us versus three thousand: complete.
"In the eyes of myself, I adroitly scream!"
"WE WILL ARRIVE AT THE STONE OF DESTINY." (Tara) "WE WILL REACH THE PERDITION OF IBID." (CythrЎul)
INVINCIBLE: we are to their spears! INTREPIDLY: we occupy our posts! A FORECAST OF DESTINY! INVISIBLE: they are to their hands! INSOLENTLY: they amuse their own pride! INTERCHANGEABILITY: INNERCHANGEABILITY!
"With the sway of myself, weather means disaster. I affirm each day for the men of the brave."
[Repeat Verse]
As our swords of steel, their mead, and courage are fused. Is it not the throne for our Master of the Gulch? On its trim are rings of pearls, polished. One seat remains near the jaded citadel.
[First Supposition - Narration:] "The plains of adoration do lie somewhere below Tara, way below Tara, as a matter of fact. Sometimes give as Moyslaught and as always, Crom Cruach is welcomed."
"With the sway of myself, weather means disaster. I affirm each day for the men of the brave."
[Final Supposition - Narration:] "The notorious Klan stands by the ramparts at Tara where all enemies are approaching. Being bound by a geis, the three have no choice but to stand against the feeble units. Enveloping in an opaque mist, they suddenly find themselves in a magical place where they are received by the deity ManannЎn and a courtly witch. Finally, they begin to walk up the steep grassland of Tara, with wand and sword, which enables them to distinguish the truth from the lies."
It is the chair for our Master of the Tor. It is embellished with bullion: marked. It remains on top of the lofty mound. It streams gray and silver lining. It will be an accolade given to us. That is, by the third of the last king.
