lyrics

The Great Waters stirred
Gave birth to us all
Glaciers carved our fate
As bays and cliffs of limestone white
Landfall of the storm
Breathed life into our lungs
Both sunset and dawn
Kissed shores beneath the cedar boughs

Chrous:
Great mother, our provenance
To you we pledge our loyalty
At your call to arms we fight our opponents
To the death and far beyond!
By lupine jaws or owl's claws
We break the greedy tyrants' grasp
As keepers of these hallowed isles
To the death and far beyond!

Rather that I die
Than I peddle you for gold
Sooner shall the lakes
Go dry than I should leave your side
Gentle breeze and rain
Will wash away your tears
And the livid waves
Engulf and drown our enemies

Chorus

When we're laid to rest
Fall dead into your arms
And those to succeed
Take swords and torches from still hands
Generational chain
Impregnable escarpment
Through flames we prevail
With fire burning in our hearts

Chorus
