Amergin's Song for Donn

by Nate Berry

Part I: x2 x2

Rain falls as I whisper these words
pounding the ground with a rhythm
Drops like the blood of our kin that we lost at sea
Beat like a drum on my memory

Part I

Where was I when I was with you
that night that I’ve tried to forget
We floated nine waves off of Inber Scene
(Your curse had worked) and I thought we were winning

( Chorus:
I was the Wind on the Sea,
I was the Ocean- wave,
I was the Roar of the Sea
With you

I was the flood on the Plain,
I was the flash of the sun
I was the point on the spear
With you )

Part II: x2 (Drowsy Maggie first part only)
Part I

I am lost in a haze of regret
For the curse that was brought down upon you
I can't erase the things that we wrote in blood
(But I can raise your) house on the island

Chorus

Part I.

To Tech Duinn we shall come after death
“To you, to your house” was your dying wish
Where the three birds of death guard the entrance
and there they croak out their warning

Chorus x 1.5 (repeat first stanza of chorus, replace “I was” with “I am” and “with you” with “for you”)
