Morrigan, Threefold Omen

Distant war drum, sky taste of iron
Names on the wind
Yours among them
I walk the field

Boots in the blood so clay
I show my teeth
Bitter as yesterday
Horns on the hill, calling the hungry crows
Steel in my hand, shaking and still I go

Morrigan, threefold omen
Bathing lead and lava
Claw and bone
One face blesses, one face breaks me
One face calls me to the stone

Morgan, three dark sisters laughing
Where the dead men lie
If I fall then carve your story in my ribs before I die
Hey

First one smiles, red hair like a streaming flag
Softest touch
Hides a sharpened Jack
Second leans close
Breath like a funeral pyre

Promise of peace if I feed the fire
Third one waits, eyes black as a winter well
Hand on my heart, weighing what I'll sell

Morrigan, threefold omen, maiden lover
Claw and bone
One face blesses, one face breaks me
One face calls me to the stone

Morrigan, three dark sisters laughing
Where the dead men lie
If I fall then carve your story in my ribs before I die
Hey

Name me coward, name me king
I am nothing till they sing
Feather, blade and broken ring
I am nothing till they sing
Hey

Morrigan, threefold omen, maiden lover
Claw and bone
Take my breath and drink it slowly
Let my shadow join your sky

Morgan, three dark sisters laughing
Where the dead men lie
If I fall then raise your banner
From my blood and battle cry

Hey
