The Mighty Sreng by Celtachor Lyrics

King Eochaid of the Fir Bolg's
Had a meeting with his men
A warrior to face the Tuatha
His name the Mighty Sreng
In return watchers of the Tuatha
Sent their own champion, Bres
Both warriors observed each other
By the hillside of the mountain pass

Raise your spears to the sky
Sword and shield grasped tight!
Eyes full of fire
Magh Nia, ready and willing to fight!
Raise your spears to the sky
Sword and shield grasped tight!
Eyes full of fire
Magh Nia, ready and willing to die!

The two became puzzled
When thеy spoke in their mother tonguе
They spoke in Irish and came to speak
Laying down their shields for fear
Observing the craft of each other’s spear
To learn each ways fatal!
Craiseach was its name
The name Sreng gave them
Raise your spears to the sky
Sword and shield grasped tight!
Eyes full of fire
Magh Nia, ready and willing to die!
Raise your spears to the sky
Sword and shield grasped tight!
Eyes full of fire
Magh Nia, ready and willing to fight!

Bres turned to Sreng and said
We will take half of Ireland!
And if we can not
A war will begin, blood will flow
Sreng went back to his king
Told of what he'd learned
When the king heard the offer he said

Raise your spears to the sky
Sword and shield grasped tight!
Eyes full of fire
Magh Nia, ready and willing to die!
Raise your spears to the sky
Sword and shield grasped tight!
Eyes full of fire
Magh Nia, ready and willing to die!
