My Land of Pain Lyrics

Gurgi
Dear kindly master should have blown his horn
His blade would still be his own

Taran
I’ll find another yet only one time
The Fair Folk’s horn can be blown

Gurgi
Come see the lamb that’s lost and caught
Strayed far from home, a sorry lot

Craddoc
The lamb is mine and so is the land
Many we were that once lived here
Then darkness came, battle and woe
Hearts were filled with pain and fear
In time they left their homes and land
The last free man would stay and stand

Taran
This land will take your life so fast

Craddoc
Without a master I’ll die at last

Taran, Gurgi, Craddoc, The Spirit
My land of pain, my land of tears
Of many forsaken years
My land of war, of agony
Yet how could I ever see
Land of the warriors, gone one by one
I’d pay a high price, the life of a son

Craddoc
My liberty
The lamb was found, another was not
Winter raged wild in these mountains
My son would not live to see another year
A wayfarer came through the glen
He vowed he’d make my son a man
And one day he’d return again
And many years and nights I slept
Dallben his name, the promise has been kept

Taran
Do you say then you are father to me
Is my quest over, can I believe
Is this dark valley my destiny
Where I was born and forever will be

Craddoc
My son has come back to his land at last
Back to his father as vowed in the past
The blood in your veins it is my own
This old man nevermore shall be alone
