Lyrics

Every word, written by AI.

[0:00 - 0:20] INSTRUMENTAL INTRO
(Solo wire-strung Gaelic harp opens with a steady 6/8 march rhythm, joined at 0:10 by a low bodhrán pulse and droning fiddle string)
[0:20 - 0:45] VERSE 1
Down from the hills of Munster's green,
Where Shannon flows through dark and deep,
A shadow falls on field and stream,
While ancient bards their vigils keep.
The crown of Kincora shines afar,
Across the plains of wounded stone,
Rise up, ye sons of Innisfail,
To guard the High King’s iron throne!
[0:45 - 1:05] CHORUS
Praise be the name of Brian Boru!
Shield of the West, the dragon's bane!
From Clontarf shore to Thomond’s crest,
No foreign lord shall ever reign!
[1:05 - 1:25] VERSE 2
(Uilleann pipes enter with counter-melody beneath vocals)
The longships ride the stormy tide,
The raven banners catch the gale,
Yet bold and fierce the spear-men stand,
To fight for home and Clan Chonaill.
With sword in hand and heart ablaze,
He broke the chains of Dublin's sea,
Through hundred battles, fought and won,
To set the emerald nation free!
[1:25 - 1:45] CHORUS
Praise be the name of Brian Boru!
Shield of the West, the dragon's bane!
From Clontarf shore to Thomond’s crest,
No foreign lord shall ever reign!
[1:45 - 2:10] INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
(Tin whistle and fiddle play a fast, driving variation of "Brian Boru's March", backed by heavy bodhrán rimshots and harp arpeggios)
[2:10 - 2:30] OUTRO
(Music strips back down to solo harp and low drone; vocal delivery is slow, majestic, and fading)
The march goes on... the harp rings clear...
The High King rests beneath the stone...
His name shall live two thousand years...
Ireland’s king, and hers alone.
(Final harp chord decays slowly into silence)
