Suidakra - Scáthach lyrics

Endless, their journey had seemed Slain, beaten, a defeat Exiled from the Scythian steppes they had been No retreat! With four Roman legions hot on their trail Betrayed, beaten, a defeat Two sisters bound for revenge To Alba in strong gales they set sail Young Aoife's lover wavered In a duel, fate would decide The Dacian prince challenged Two chariots would ride No match for the queen The prince soon lay dead This deed of her sister Aoife would never forget Mighty Scáthach Scythian queen Fierce Scáthach I fight for thee Oh, listen to me now as I tell her tale Mighty Scáthach Scythian queen Fierce Scáthach I die for thee Oh, hear us now as we sing her tale And in turn, I will teach The bravest of thee Who wants to join And once fight for me For Rome will one day Feel the scorn Of a Scythian queen Named Scáthach Now the Picts had been watching For the first time they saw They decided to worship A true goddess in awe Come and live on this island The Picts now cried For we will ever defend On our land of shadows The Roman eagle Shall never descend! Endless their journey had seemed Slain, beaten, a defeat Exiled from the Scythian steppes they had been No retreat! With four Roman Legions hot on their trail Betrayed, beaten, a defeat Two sisters bound for revenge To Alba, they set sail Oh, hear me now as I sing her tale Mighty Scáthach Scythian queen Fierce Scáthach I die for thee Oh, listen to me now as I tell her tale Mighty Scáthach Scythian queen Fierce Scáthach We pray to thee Oh, hear us now as we sing her tale And in turn, I will teach The bravest of thee Who wants to join And once fight for me For Rome will one day Feel the scorn Of a Scythian queen Named Scáthach
