Lyrics

[Manann¡n's notions from emain ablhach:]
I am a wave: on the rapt cythr¡ul
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
Manann¡n
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 manann¡n
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
Manann¡n
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
Manann¡n
And fear the sky shall fall <i>[x5]

[Repeat chorus iv]
