Mo chara thú go daingean
Brón is paisean ar mo chroí,
Is i gcéist í do chlú
Mar chonaic tú foréigean
A chuisle, Tá an saol seo lán,
Mo mhuirnin bán óg,
Le hurchóid agus olc
Ceileann an ceo do chosán.
Lá éigin, beidh cumhacht is cáil a’at,
‘s fágfaidh do sháil toirneach ar a cúl.
Eagróidh do shúile réaltbhuíonta
Mar sin féin, faoi láthair is tusa iasc gan gáilleach
Sheas tú ar laftán aréir
Bhí an ghrian ag éirí thar na sléibhte
Ach chuaigh sí faoi tréimhse
Nuair a lig tú béic ar an spéir
D’fhág mo shaontacht i do chónra
Adhlacadh mo dóchas le do luaith
Agus nuair ar maidin a smaoiním ort
Is mise a ghortaíonn sé go tráthnóna.
Mo bhrón go chaillim m’iníon
Macánta, íon, dóighiúil.
Cé go níonn mé do ghortú
Fannan an fhuil, cosúil le fíon.
Do chuaigh Críost ar an gcreig,
do leonadh cos eich;
chuir sé fuil le fuil,
feoil le feoil,
cnámh le cnámh.
Mar shlánaigh sé sin
Go slánaí sé seo.
Amen.
TRANSLATION:
Oh steadfast friend
Sorrow and passion on my heart.
Your reputation is in question
Because you saw danger.
O pulse, this world is full,
My fair young darling,
With iniquity and evil,
The fog conceals your path.
Some day you will have power and fame
And your heel will leave thunder behind it
Your eyes will rearrange constellations
But at present you are a fish without gills.
You stood on a ledge last night
The sun was rising
but it sank below the horizon
when you let a scream at the sky.
My innocence left in your coffin
My hope was buried with your ashes
and when in the morning I think of you
it is hurting me until evening.
My sorrow that I lost my daughter,
Honest, pure, beautiful.
When I wash your wound
The blood stays, like wine.
Christ walked in a rocky place.
A steed’s foot was hurt.
He put blood to blood
flesh to flesh
bone to bone.
As he healed that
may he heal this.
Amen.
Borrowing to different saturated metal sub-genres does not guarantee quality.
But when a band manages to leverage said sub-genres, the humble yet hilarious listener is turned to a silent witness of a thrilling work of art. unidual
