ABSU - Tara

Pillars Of Mercy

I (still) admire the flow of echoing horns.
Mimicking blows so boldly, I hear...
I stand visibly, high, on this splendid bastion,
To remember a High King, a tyrant of no fear

I am the first son - a commander without a father,
"Fortuitous doom," the last of his predictions.
I'll take advantage by igniting the balusters...
Preparing enraged flames with sweltering speed.

(These are the) Pillars Of Mercy!
Today, I am callous...
Tomorrow, I am king -
Immortal, strong, exultant, and conquering!

Pillars Of Mercy!
My song and my word are iniquitous -
Gathering assemblies in days gone by!

(Fire burns with the) Pillars Of Mercy!
My chariot races through saw-toothed hills,
And hurls through every valley and mere!

Pillars Of Mercy!
Watchtowers collapse before the lift of the twilight,
I am swift in battle -
My voice is heard!
Pillars Of Mercy!

Frost, fire, and wind are pelting all the columns...
There is no dilution for them to fight again!
Only three chariots are seen on the charred plains -
Through all the throngs and clusters, lambs and stallions!

"If you should speak to me now, 
Then I will chamber Tara's pinnacle.
Why my father? Another damning scuffle?
I (still) admire the sound of echoing horns!"

(Those were the) Pillars Of Mercy!
Frenzied vultures gnawed the necks of dead men,
As the sturdy, gilded columns had seethed!

Pillars Of Mercy!
Enemies' blood spurted like volley sprigs-
The blustery fight was planned, then fought!

(Flames flayed on the) Pillars Of Mercy!
Their vapid minds were troubled and sides were pierced-
And warlike deeds had been fulfilled!

Pillars Of Mercy!
We saluted chieftains on the regal Tara -
We hailed the tyrants that governed our waters!
Pillars Of Mercy!
Strike!

There shall be no lack of dignity,
For those who oppose them.

"There Will Be Pillars Of Mercy!"

A Shield With An Iron Face

A Cairn warrior dressed in his harness feeling fury and frenzy.
His silky top had blood stained gauze stretched across his pecks.
His tartan had lines of symmetry running east and west.
An embellished shield with an iron face was embraced in his left hand.

"I welcome thee, o' victorious, I'm skirmishing... at the lift!"
"I welcome thee, o' victorious, I'm skirmishing... by the dark!"

He rushed to feed the fire,
As honor gained him a home -
He veered beyond the pyres,
The Son of Cairn sat enthroned.
An iron shield gaped toward the sky,
With oak wood and leather backing;
Reprisal lead the way to his mind,
And so it did.

"Ci bhfuilimid ag dul amarach?" ("Where are we marching tomorrow?")

A shield with an iron face gapes towards the sky,
The death of a man is never going to die.
A resolute falcon gawks back at the armor -
On the wing, yet on the lifting hour.

Make my pathway carved and clear.
Give me a code that's no will of mine,
To show me your presence is here!

Courtly witch of the beast - Courtly bitch of the daring arm,
I am your tyro, yet never alarmed!

A dash of thistle, and in my dreams - Give me the silver-gilt key,
That will unlock the spell...
Courtly witch, assist me!

She Cries The Quiet Lake

Stones of power
Stillness of her spawn
Gems of symbols
Re-illuminating
Dawn
She cries the quiet lake

Weeping waters
Taciturnity
Found
She cries the quiet lake

Dripping ruptures
Immortality
Bound

Enduring - death is mine to keep
Timelessness - unborn in timely shape
Balancing - between stone and sky
Promulgate - lamentations

Continually - she wails and she whines
Nonetheless - linking stone to sky
Leveling - the tarns to the tides
Circulate - limpid-forming tears

"The darkness is starting and control is done:
The cosmic light is fading, as the shadow's won."

It's the lake of your liquid, glass heart
It's bringing your writ; it's bringing you tears
It's filling your thirst and never with fears
It's the tears of my liquid, glass heart

From Ancient Times (Starless Skies Burn To Ash)

Blazing to their pikes
Turning to dust
Gusting with the wind
They (still) dream of an older delusion

Reigning, raining
Dampening the empire
Their excursion burns with the ashes

Calm lakes mirrored
Glistening everywhere
They rove through the waters and fires

Silent seas paused
Enlightening low light
Their visions for imperishability

The weakened flesh
Expecting downfall
Their ashes spread through lightless, starless skies

The Eminence
Not expecting wind
They (now) think of a newer illusion

Praise - The ancient times
As Earth - Equates their end
Command - The ancient times
Like Tara - Shall never pretend
Dies - Irae, dies illa
Quidquid - Latet adparebit
Nil - Inultum remanebit
Depose - Towards ancient times

Stone Of Destiny (...For Magh Slecht And Ard Righ)

We are three high kings in honor.
We are the midst of Dagda's spell - 
We are three armored forces, and
We are the gold-torqued leaders.
Three wild horsemen:
Three fearless in combat -
Three gold-crowned conjurers of clash, yet
Three clannish chiefs from the Kingdom of Midhe...

The leading, foremost tyrant -
The subsequent tormentor, and
The past intimidator of Cythriul
Are impending.
"Has there ever been a better idol than Dagda?
Will there ever be a better icon than myself?"

"In the yes of myself, I fervently speak."
The trio goes out at dawn.
Fiercely, we plan to fight our assailants:
Three of us versus three thousand - complete.

"In the eyes of myself, I adroitly scream!"

"We Will Arrive At The Stone Of Destiny." (Tara)
"We Will Reach The Perdition Of Ibid." (Cythriul)

Invincible - we are to their spears!
Intrepidly - we occupy our posts!
A Forecast Of Destiny!
Invisible - they are to their hands!
Insolently - they amuse their own pride!
Interchangeability - Innerchangeability!

"With the sway of myself, weather means disaster.
I affirm each day for the men of the brave."

As our swords of steel, their mead, and courage are fused.
Is it not the throne for our Master of the Gulch?
On its trim are rings of pearls, polished.
One seat remains near the jaded citadel.

"The plains of adoration do lie somewhere below Tara, way below Tara, as a matter of fact.
Sometimes give as Moyslaught and as always, Crom Cruach is welcomed."

"With the sway of myself, weather means disaster.
I affirm each day for the men of the brave."

"The notorious Klan stands by the ramparts at Tara where all enemies are approaching.
Being bound by a geis, the three have no choice but to stand against the feeble units.
Enveloping in an opaque mist, they suddenly find themselves in a magical place where they are
received by the deity Manann¡n and a courtly witch. Finally, they begin to walk up the steep
grassland of Tara, with wand and sword, which enables them to distinguish the truth from the lies."

It is the chair for our Master of the Tor.
It is embellished with bullion - marked.
It remains on top of the lofty mound.
It streams gray and silver lining.
It will be an accolade given to us.
That is, by the third of the last king.
