Cromm Cruac - ...and Remember Nothing lyrics

As we sit by this fire And reminisce good old times I cannot stop laughing As Oisin and his rhymes We were feared by those who crossed our path Felt like gods, brought d**h and devoured lives Unprepaired and slaughtered in ways beyond disbelief Didn't care, just one to achieve, just survive!! As we sit by this fire And reminisce good old times I cannot stop thinking Of the men we left behind We were buried in the earth Up to our waist, with just with a shield Chased by men we then all feared Just fought for what we were worth The Twelve Books of Poetry A way of life, became to me We were anxious to become A servant of the High King's Throne As we sit by this fire And reminisce good old times I cannot stop feeling All the pain I have inside Oh yeas, I'm trying to believe That there's a better way to be Without the slaughtering of men Without grief of what we ever lost But everything, it seems so right To ride with comrades and to fight Past years have brought so much for me Both victory and misery There's not a single night I sleep Without awakening from my dreams Trying to ensure myself And fall back into reality No more memories I have Of life as I knew it once before Not shedding blood nor wasting men No memories, no more I can't wake up From this dream, so it seems to me I want to awake And leave this terror all behind of me All numb and blind Barely able to retrieve myself Not even now I can't remember when I ever did As we sit by this fire And reminisce good old times I cannot stop thinking Of the men we left behind
