The Macha
I am watching them go with sadness
In my eyes for what they cannot understand
That what I see looms are before them, a
distant battle field where the power and strengths
of Ancient, born, man will clash and war.
My children will fall, and loved ones will die
But I am still living, and knowing the future to come
For their actions they will die, but the strength
that lies within them, that will be the last to fall
And when they do, I will be there on the battlefield
to raise my wings, and call the end of this battle,
and all my warriors and brave ones will
awaken in death to the call of me--The Macha
They open their eyes and call for me, and
to each of them I come and heal their wounds
In my tears the blood of war is cleansed from them
Their tears of pain I wipe with my hair
and a kiss on their lips embraces them from pain
But awakens to the Gates that open for them
Here I am, to lead them into Valhalla
