Beyond The Ninth Wave My spirit snaps, despair engulfs Like a bloody brooch, my shame is borne. When weakness called, I opened the door Betraying all (that) I once held so dear. Honour denied, I still cannot believe Banishment invoked, cast out to sea Beyond the ninth wave Cast adrift, exiled soul. Beyond the ninth wave Stripped of honour, stripped of Clan. Broken lands, Macha betrayed My Clan and my kin, they all bear my shame I give up my life to the God of the sea Mannanan Mc Lir my fate lies with thee Depart on the tide (as) banishment beckons Trice three years in torment I face. Darkest of days, stalking my stride, Resultant fall, all consuming pride. Great deeds, I now seek. Focus supreme. Redemption I crave, Mortality engaged.
