The Morrigan
by Geoffrey MacLean
Dedicated to Vicountess Morrigan Clubfoot
Lips like wine and fiery hair,
Skin so fine and a steely stare,
I don't know if she's really there,
Lady can you be?
Her passion kindles my desire,
My soul burns hot and my heart's on fire,
Out of Scotland and of Eire,
Lady comes for me...
[Chorus]
Phantom Queen or a Trinity,
The Morrigan comes and she calls to me,
At Death's Door it is clear to see that
She is my destiny,
The Lady comes for me.
Above the battlefield a crow
Fliies o'er the dead, lying row on row,
She'll come and reap what they did sow,
Lady come and see...
The sight does strike an awful chord,
Wounds they've taken, blood that's poured,
A price that's levied by the sword,
Lady comes for thee...
Phantom Queen or a Trinity,
The Morrigan comes and she calls to me,
At Death's Door it is clear to see that
She is my destiny,
The Lady comes for thee...
See the coward, he's so craven,
Fleeing battle, seeking haven,
Never shall he meet the raven,
Lady leave him be...
She's come for those whose souls have warred,
Who died by arrow, pike and sword,
And those for whom the battle roared,
Lady set them free...
Phantom Queen or a Trinity,
The Morrigan comes and she calls to me,
At Death's Door it is clear to see that
She is my destiny,
Lady set them free...
Oh Lady are mine eyes beguiled?
My whole world brightened when she smiled,
I'll make her mine though I'm exiled,
Lady be with me...
For those who've lain with the Lady fair,
Her grace and beauty so deep and rare,
Are bound to die in the Lady's care,
Lady care for me...
Phantom Queen or a Trinity,
The Morrigan comes and she calls to me,
At Death's Door it is clear to see that
She is my destiny,
Lady care for me...
For Death's a price I'd gladly pay,
To have a chance at just one more day,
And perhaps I will hear her say that
The Lady does love me...
Phantom Queen or a Trinity,
The Morrigan comes and she calls to me,
At Death's Door it is clear to see that
She is my destiny,
The Lady does love me...
She'll be mine for eternity...
Lady care for me...
For she is my destiny...
The Lady does love me...
