Amassed stands the horde of Medb. Laeg and Liath Macha gone. Ravens cry echoes my rage. With death giving it rest. Back upon the lone Menhir, To war alone as foretold. Once more the Ristrad calls, A warrior to my last breath. When I die, I will face it standing. Chains around me, spear in hand. One to one hundred, foes surround me. Fall before Riastrad. Prepare to face the hound of Culann. I will be the last to die. No geas binds me now. The final dawn is approaching. Gae bolg still thirsts for more. The final act begins here. Lugh cannot heal me now. Thousands fall as blood pours forth. As life fades my head's held high. Hero's light burn s around me. My sword falls for one last blow. When I die, I will face it standing. Chains around me, spear in hand. One to one hundred, foes surround me Cú Chulainn's Iast stand. Prepare to face the hound of Culann. I will be the last to die. No geas binds me now. Hound of UIster Cú Chulainn Last son of Lugh Cú Chulainn's When I die, I will face it standing. Chains around me, spear in hand. One to one hundred, foes surround me Cú Chulainn's Iast stand. Prepare to face the hound of Culann. I will be the last to die. No geas binds me now.

With all my might I will fight I will stand for my home Fury ignites Roman lives I will take for my own With all my might I will fight I will stand for my home Fury ignites Roman lives I will take for my own Orchous warms your bed tonight Greed has sealed your fate We must conquer or die with glory Deliverance will be born in flames We must conquer or die with glory Deliverance will be born in flames London will burn It's Rome turn To vanquish in darkness On bladed wheels No Icen kneels For Nero's Empire's will London will burn It's Rome turn To vanquish in darkness On bladed wheels No Icen kneels For Nero's Empire's will With Epona's winds at our heels, we will bring death to London and the empire will crumble in the wake of our vengeance. As Andraste's favour wanes, we will make our final stand here, wreathed in blood and defiance I'll choose death over chains Poison runs through my veins I will live on through the darkness I will live on in legend My legacy will be remembered My story will outlive Rome I will live on through the darkness I will live on in legend With all my might I will fight I will stand for my home Fury ignites Roman lives I will take for my own With all my might I will fight I will stand for my home Fury ignites Roman lives I will take for my own Orchous warms your bed tonight Greed has sealed your fate We must conquer or die with glory Deliverance will be born in flames We must conquer or die with glory Deliverance will be born in flames

Detestable slaves of th' Devill The witches and enchanters Dominance of lust your power Your craft plagues our nation I am your salvation You speak for man not God Your judgement day has come This is a trial by water Aqua veite decides Your sin of regicide Two hundred souls lost Through a trial by water Death divines souls to be saved From those to face the pyre Torture dragged out lies I am no Devil's consort No demon's mark I bare I beseech your Lord to spare I am your salvation You speak for man not God My judgement day has come My end is a trial by water My soul Lord Christ will guide No sin in my heart resides Two hundred souls lost Through a trial by water Death divines souls to be saved From those to face the pyre The river knows Death redeems your soul Rejected damns you to fire The river knows Death is innocence Doomed to die burn or drown Fearful abundance in nation By the grace of God King James will reign I am your salvation You speak for man not God Your judgement day has come Your life ends through trial by water Proven no witch you are Let heaven claim your soul Two hundred souls lost Through a trial by water Two hundred souls lost Through a trial by water Death divines souls to be saved From those to face the pyre Aitkin's lies will see her burn The Great Witch will end Burned at the stake her lies will die 200 lost in vain The river knows Death redeems your soul Rejected damns you to fire The river knows Death is innocence Doomed to die burn or drown

A broken heart and shattered dreams Trust, betrayed and it seems, All hope is lost for those who mourn, Shattered and reborn. Tear-stained hope and light blind sorrow, To breathe is to suffer, Losing what should never be found, Time's we can't borrow From the flames, new life is born Embers reignite your will. Lost and then found, Chosen to break threadbare chains, Trapped and unbound, New light bursts from the flames. Take your first breath! Freedom's balm will soothe your pain. Let your heart be free again! The soul will heal. Your sprit will not be crushed. Chains won't conceal. Your hidden distrust. So look on to better days Reflect on your past This is not eternal The present will not last

Otherworld 05:05
The sky darkens. My will, Will not suffer, The end, Is much closer. Shadows mark the path. Waters, Rising. The mist rolls, Unending. The storm clouds, Are parting. Reality melts away. Otherworld. Otherworld. Otherworld. Otherworld. I will stand. I will fight, Until I wear the crown of all mankind. Knowledge of mysteries unfold. I will find the otherworld. Stars are burning. As time stops turning. The fey are hunting. Tir na noch is here. Rivers coursing, From the well of wisdom, Leads the route to glory. The salmon will be mine. Otherworld. Otherworld. Otherworld. Otherworld. I will stand. I will fight, Until I wear the crown of all mankind. Knowledge of mysteries unfold. I will find the otherworld. Hail. Hail. Hail. Hail. I will find the otherworld. World, world, world, world, world. Hail, hail, to the Otherworld. Hail, hail, I will find the otherworld.

Mag Tuired 04:41
As broadsword meets battle axe, And dragons duel in the sky, Foimoire heads will roll. For their fate they'll die! As the horde meets the shore, Nuadu casts no fear. They held the line, As Lugh hurled his spear! The Gods united stand, Against the grisly wave. Nether spawned they be, No Foimoire will remain! Nuadu led his forces, And they did not cower. Between the Gods and their fate, Their destiny is their power! The sky grows darker, The Gods will show their might. The tireless march onward, With victory in their eyes! The skain shall rise again! With new strength they return! One final triumph. This battle shall be won! Victory is achieved, But Nuadu's arm is torn. Destiny was weaved, As Bres claimed the throne. Darkness covers the land, As corruption overflows. Balor's son revealed, As the Foimoire prince rules! A silver hand is forged, So Nuadu fights again! To overthrow the prince, His treachery is his bane! A second war ignites, As Lugh takes the helm! His spear slays the king! The Foimoire flee the realm! The sky grows darker, The Gods will show their might. The tireless march onward, With victory in their eyes! The skain shall rise again! With new strength they return! One final triumph. This battle shall be won! As broadsword meets battleaxe, And dragons duel in the sky, Foimoire heads will roll. For their fate they'll die! As the horde meets the shore, Nuadu casts no fear. They held the line, As Lugh hurled his spear! The sky grows darker, The Gods will show their might. The tireless march onward, With victory in their eyes! The skain shall rise again! With new strength they return! One final triumph. This battle shall be won!

Verdant land covers all Shimmers of light harvest brings Nine maidens stand tall As their father sings "Fetch water from the well" And so the first went her way Never to return again Forever lost that day In serpent's mau lies your fate Nine maidens of Dundee to die Bloodstained waters invite grief Father's vengeance will end the beast In serpent's mau lies your fate Nine maidens of Dundee to die Bloodstained waters invite grief Father's vengeance will end the beast One by one follows suit Until all have met their deaths For the Beast never rests Nine last final breaths Bones found, father's pain Allies gather from afar Vengeance will break the chain of The serpent's scar In serpent's mau lies your fate Nine maidens of Dundee to die Bloodstained waters invite grief Father's vengeance will end the beast In serpent's mau lies your fate Nine maidens of Dundee to die Bloodstained waters invite grief Father's vengeance will end the beast Blood spills across the water He will fight for Justice in the depths The creature suffers And dies in pain Victory is claimed Now he stands alone No one left but one In serpent's mau lies your fate Nine maidens of Dundee to die Bloodstained waters invite grief Father's vengeance will end the beast In serpent's mau lies your fate Nine maidens of Dundee to die Bloodstained waters invite grief Father's vengeance will end the beast Nine maidens of Dundee to die. In serpent's mau. Nine maidens of Dundee to die.
