Rise of Lugh Lyrics


Upon the Horizion,The Tower of glass stands tall

Balor of the evil eye ,watchs over all

The sons of nemed attacked with the power of druid spells

A great wave swallowed them and took them to the depths

A Druid told Balor,he would fall to a grandson

he sent his only daughter ,Ethlinn away into the tower of glass

Twelve women put there to guard and protect

To never see or hear the name of a man

and to grow beautifull.

Cian, Goibniu and Samthainn

Three brothers of the tuatha de danann

Residing at Druim na Teine

The Ridge of the fire

Guarding the glas gaibhnenn

Who's milk would never fail

From the theiving hordes

that coveted her.

Balor had set his eyes on it as well

Turning into a Young boy he tricked Samthainn

and as the brothers quarelled about the iron and steel

He left the forge,snatched the cow and crossed the sea.

Cian traveled to the Mountains to find the druid Birog

She dressed him as a woman and sent him across the sea

in a gust of wind......

As they entered the tower of glass

Birog put a spell of sleep upon them,

Cian found Ethlinn and she gave herself to him

But by the winds,he was sent away

And Ethlinn bore a son!!

Balor found out and a fear grew on him

He sent his people to put the child in cloth and to secure it with a pin

Balor commanded that the child ,be tossed into the sea

As the waves crashed,tumbled and fell

A newborn thought to have drowned

The one prophesised ,to end the tyrants reign....

Birog saved the child and brought him to Cian

and he sent him to Taillte,Daughter of the Great Plain

Thus Lugh was born

and a saga began..
