Текст песни: The Sacking Of The Vedrafjord + перевод

And the tyrants did reach the Vedrafjord

Where the very earth did wail from the treachery

Sang by the soil, soaked through at Dún Domhnaill

Breaching the walls the vermin did enter

Women and children and men they were butchered

The streets ran with blood

The corpses piled high

The mountain of dead rose to the sky

Gaedhel and Gall Dubh did man the walls

Gaedhel and Gall Dubh did fight and fall

As attack, attack, attack did the Grey ones mount

Pulling down the walls

Did they then sack and slaughter all

Raghnall’s Tower was last to fall

Long alter the slaughter at the wall

Ua Faoileán, two Sitrics, the Norse Lord Raghnall

Faught and repelled them time and again

'Till finally wearied and covered in blood

They succumbed to the butchers

Two Sitrics beheaded

The others though Mac Murchadha did save

Though the Norman butchers did want them to the grave

Gaedhel and Gall Dubh did man the walls

Gaedhel and Gall Dubh did fight and fall

As attack, attack, attack did the Grey ones mount

The city in ruins

Did they then sack and slaughter all

And so amidst the piles of rotting corpses

Were Aoife and Richard de Clare wed

'Neath the August sun of 1170

Was the treachery complete amidst the bodies of the dead

Gaedhel and Gall Dubh did man the walls

Gaedhel and Gall Dubh did fight and fall

As attack, attack, attack did the Grey ones mount

Pulling down the walls

Did they then…

Gaedhel and Gall Dubh did man the walls

Gaedhel and Gall Dubh did fight and fall

As attack, attack, attack did the Grey ones mount

The city in ruins

Did they then sack and slaughter all
