the misty air no mortal knew
someday to meet again as Four
oncemore together on the shore...
(by Fiona for her Sisters, Nian and Jami)
Twas Ev’n and dusks dying light
did cast it’s shadow toward the night
to hide days deeds and shun the fear
as battle raging sounds drew near.
Fog wrapping round them like a cloak
hid from men’s eyes the gentle folk
the daughters of the King of Right
did share their vigil with the night.
As battle raged from door to door
Four Sisters stood upon the shore
awaiting death they knew would come
they stood together now as one.
The King they cherished now was dead
slain as he sheltered those afraid
Their mother gone, her gentle light
could not compete with battle’s might.
They stood apart, yet stood as one
the Druid King sang in their blood
right hand faced up, left hand faced down
honor bound by thorn and crown.
They swore that neither death nor time
could keep them from each other’s side
FOUR EVER ONE, FOREVER ONE
They chanted in the dying sun.
Soul to soul, and hand in hand
honor bound by love and land
They said goodbye to their fair Isle
as thru the fog the Guardian smiled
Held out his hand, and drew them thru
the misty air no mortal knew
someday to meet again as Four
oncemore together on the shore...
