lyrics

Call the Morrigu

Prophetess of war
Dark sister of night
Black feathers fly
Symbol of shattered skies

Temptress of man
All you embrace is wild
Red hot in lust
She’s a warrior’s child

She is the death that comes
Seeking eternal love
When her vision’s clear
Your know your time is near

Dark sister of fortune and fate
Phantom queen of final embrace
Take me now to natures centre
Into the mound forever to enter
Call the Morrigu
Call the Morrigu
Call the Morrigu
Call the Morrigu

Priestess of fate
Weaver of prophecies
Washing the blood
Staining our destinies

Raven sorceress
Triple faced queen of night
Winder of threads
Enemy to the light

Morrigan, Babd, Macha, Nemain, Fea, Danu, Morgan Le Fay X4

Soaring battle crow
Hiding her mysteries
Black witch, dark moons
Shadow our histories

Lover of Lugh
She’s the Phantom Queen
Fortelling war
Now as she’s always been…
