1. SUNRISE

Radiance
Dazzling brilliance
Shone upon another day
Laugh, o god of the sun
God of the sun
Burning fire
Sustaining life
Laugh, o god of the sun
Help, help us face
Help us face dawn.


2. DAWNING OF A NEW AGE

(Instrumental)


3. A HERO'S LAMENT

As the dark clouds they do gather
I sing my last lament
For the ravens they do gather
My strength is almost spent
My life force it disperses
My blood lies in the sand
The darkness is close at hand

Gaff roi ga my companion
I have put my trust in thee
But the darkness of the grave
Claims us all, eventually
I bid farewell to my loved ones
They and my kinsmen, please remember me

Through sacred lugh, my father
My name will never die
The deeds I have achieved
Insures my name amongst my brother
Throughout the sacred green of eire ann
My name will echo in the valleys

Cu Chula inn hound of ulster
Cu Chula inn bane of medhabh
Cu Chula inn hound of ulster
Cu Chula inn champion of men

Son of an immortal
Immortal he shall be
Journey to the other world
To live eternally

From emain macha
To tara's hall
Your name will live as legend
And to your memory
I give a toast
Dwell with the fairy host

A farewell to a hero
Your motal days are gone
Your soul now doth fly
As free as the sun.


4. EMAIN MACHA

O'er the seven hills of macha
In an age now passed by
Lived a people once forgotten
Beneath an ancient sky

For protection they had warriors
Unsurpassed on eire ann’s shore
Warriors of the craobh rua
An eternal name in lore

The ri he dwelt at emain
And ri of uladh's land
And the people they had plenty
Under are-ri's mighty hand

Cruinneach in your arrogance
And boastfulness and pride
Evoking a curse
Upon your own kind

Curse of a woman!

Due to man's boastfulness
And the folly ness of man
Man, may yet pay due
A curse I place on you
A curse I place on you
A weakness like a woman hear her time
Once in every cycle, uladh’s strength
Will fail to shine, fail, fail to shine
Man may yet pay due
A curse I place on you
A curse I place on you

But in uladh’s hour of need
Mighty laugh did pay heed
He beget at son at bru na boinne
Under a stone of great tragedy

Setanta as a boy, as a boy, as a boy
Cu chula inn, as a man, as a man, as a man

Standing alone against connaught's might
One against all, the eternal fight

Champions they came
Champions they did fall
Standing alone
Cu chula inn, slew them all!

For the pride of emain macha, emain macha, emain macha
For the pride of emain macha, emain macha, emain macha
For the pride of emain macha, emain macha, emain macha
That special seat of power.
