Plaeu Yr Reiff by Gwydion Lyrics
From her breast, nectar of kings
Ancient land, ancient souls
Signs and marvels, should bring
Extended far beyond the mere controls
The course of truth, perfect nobility
Not heard from learned seers
It will not be peace and tranquility
A joint number in succession appears
Vengeance kept
On the people of Pharaonus
Ten plagues paining
Before their being drowned
In the bottomless sea
Buriеd in the sands
In a crypt it stands
The king of this land
Known only sand
In a time of plеnty
Until the year of twenty
A god in heaven, sublime
Long lost, in the sands of time
Water to blood, with unusual cold
Frogs abundant, they filled the rivers
Gnats, bold and sharp, were arranged
Next were devoured the fruits of the trees, by a crop of flies
Murrain. Pestilence. Animals destroyed
With a heavy disease
The heaving reign of pharaohed seas
Rule in bloodline of palm wine and embalming fluid of brine
Sweating imposthumes
The scars of ants
Thunder, hail, fire and rain
Destructive wind blasting
Locusts, broad their ears
Devouring flowers
To be spoken of a terrible deep
Like floating, black darkness
About the night, the greatest affliction
Throughout the land, firstborn, demise!
Ancient land, ancient souls
Signs and marvels, should bring
Extended far beyond the mere controls
The course of truth, perfect nobility
Not heard from learned seers
It will not be peace and tranquility
A joint number in succession appears
Vengeance kept
On the people of Pharaonus
Ten plagues paining
Before their being drowned
In the bottomless sea
Buriеd in the sands
In a crypt it stands
The king of this land
Known only sand
In a time of plеnty
Until the year of twenty
A god in heaven, sublime
Long lost, in the sands of time
Water to blood, with unusual cold
Frogs abundant, they filled the rivers
Gnats, bold and sharp, were arranged
Next were devoured the fruits of the trees, by a crop of flies
Murrain. Pestilence. Animals destroyed
With a heavy disease
The heaving reign of pharaohed seas
Rule in bloodline of palm wine and embalming fluid of brine
Sweating imposthumes
The scars of ants
Thunder, hail, fire and rain
Destructive wind blasting
Locusts, broad their ears
Devouring flowers
To be spoken of a terrible deep
Like floating, black darkness
About the night, the greatest affliction
Throughout the land, firstborn, demise!
