about

Inspired by the story telling of Caiseal Mór (The Circle and the Cross) - young lovers in Ireland are torn apart by invading Roman catholics and the ensuing war, concluding in utter despair and suicide...

lyrics

Once catholic feet fell upon our sands
Hence a murderous shadow was cast
A poison crawled across the land
Its tyranny held fast
The infection raged like a forest fire;
As brother turned against brother
With the blood of waling innocents
The trembling Earth was smothered

Take me now unto your depths
Tranquil embrace

Drink deep of my slowing breath
Dreams they fade...

Carry me unto realms unknown
The calendar I dread

Upon my heart, ivy's grown
As this life I shed..

Eight waves, benign did come
Such hallowed suffering rode upon the ninth...

Take me now from this place
Of beauty unbounded
By a sickness riddled faith
Her body's surrounded

Her name in countless years lies buried
A memory so picturesque

Dwelling ...ghostlike, she wanders
Through caverns full of emptiness
Her name in countless years lies buried
A memory so picturesque

Dwelling ...ghostlike, she wanders
Through caverns full of emptiness

Her parents slain by “men of God”
The cleansing left her orphaned
A wounded soul, the bloodied Earth
She vanished into Autumn...

I'll not behold this tragedy
For another day
An ocean vast does welcome me
Takes my soul away
