Branwen's Lament 歌词

Dearest Brother hold me here Safe in your embrace For I feel, death is near Her breath upon my face Across the Irish sea, you came to rescue me Leading an army to avenge my shame Two islands torn apart, like my broken heart From your army just seven remain Sister I heard you calling to me O'er the Irish sea I brought a war to those foreign shores For to set you free Now I feel I'm dying poison in my veins But for you my dear Sister I'd do it again I can hear as I close my eyes The screams of my young Son Cast into the burning fire By Efnysien After death I'll find peace, all of my pain will cease Brother you are my dearest friend Now I will welcome death, I will draw my last breath And this Raven will fly again Lay her body within the Earth In this four-cornered tomb So her Spirit will know rebirth From our Mother's womb And though you lie in the earth so cold Know that your story will forever be told Bury my head facing over the sea And while it remains this land will be free
