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.
