The Voyage Of Bran - Cruachan[00:00:00]
Written by:Cruachan[00:00:00]
Bran walked more to ease his mind[00:00:14]
To reflect on life and love[00:00:16]
Music he heard come from behind[00:00:18]
And from the sky above[00:00:19]
Sweet was the tune that he fell asleep[00:00:21]
Then awoke with a terrible fright[00:00:23]
In the distance he heard a women weep[00:00:25]
Drew his sword and held it tight[00:00:26]
He saw on the ground a silver branch[00:00:42]
Adorned with small whit flowers[00:00:44]
Took the wand and returned to his home[00:00:46]
He was absent for many hours[00:00:48]
Royal friends were gathered there[00:00:50]
When a woman appeared in their midst[00:00:51]
She calmed the host and sung to Bran[00:00:53]
Of a land of beauty and myth[00:00:55]
I brought you the branch of Emain[00:00:57]
As a token of my desire[00:00:58]
Forth to the land of women[00:01:00]
Of solitude they do tire[00:01:02]
No slandering will you find there[00:01:04]
Nor treachery will you see[00:01:05]
I ask you now to plan and prepare[00:01:07]
For your voyage across the sea[00:01:09]
The day Bran sailed to the West[00:01:25]
With a host of men by his side[00:01:27]
Two days and night upon the sea[00:01:29]
Stars to act as their guide[00:01:31]
Out of the west a chariot came[00:01:32]
Manannan son of Lir[00:01:34]
Learned that he will find glory and fame[00:01:36]
Land he is seeking is near[00:01:38]
After some time they discovered the land[00:01:54]
A host of women stood on the shore[00:01:57]
Bran covered his face and raised a hand[00:02:01]
He was reluctant to go ashore[00:02:04]
Chief of women cast a single thread[00:02:08]
Pierced the hand of Bran[00:02:12]
Despite this act Bran felt no dread[00:02:15]
As his boat was pulled to light[00:02:19]
His men paired off with the women there[00:02:51]
And Bran stayed with their chief[00:02:52]
The passage of time was hidden from them[00:02:54]
They believed their time was brief[00:02:56]
Seemed like only just one year[00:02:58]
Was really centuries more[00:02:59]
They passed their time with joy and cheer[00:03:01]
As their journey became folklore[00:03:03]
A longing then came to all the men[00:03:05]
Planned to return to their land[00:03:07]
The women were loath to let them go[00:03:08]
And issued the following command[00:03:10]
Walk ye not on the land of Eirann[00:03:12]
To do so will bring your demise[00:03:13]
Go forth quell your longing[00:03:15]
Return to our western skies[00:03:17]
When arrived at Eirann's shore[00:03:33]
Were greeted by a great host[00:03:35]
They heard of Bran from ancient lore[00:03:37]
Thought he no more than a ghost[00:03:38]
A soldier of bran then leapt ashore[00:03:40]
Instantly turned to dust[00:03:42]
Decided to leave once more[00:03:44]
To return to the women of lust[00:03:46]
