Lir's Lament
Celtic
About
This authentic Celtic ballad unfolds with breathy uilleann pipes and lilting fiddle melodies over a bodhrán-driven groove, capturing the earthy essence of traditional Irish folk. Female vocals soar with ornamented grace, weaving a tale of exile and redemption amid harp arpeggios and modal harmonies. The production remains acoustic and unpolished, like a fireside session in a stone-walled pub, fostering an intimate, timeless atmosphere.
Lyrics
In the shadow of the ancient oaks, where the river whispers low, A lass with eyes like stormy seas, bids her lover go. The wind carries tales of distant lands, across the foaming tide, She stands on cliffs of emerald green, with tears she cannot hide.
Oh, echoes of the forgotten shore, call me home again, Through the mist and the heather, where the wild winds sing. We'll dance in the moonlight, hand in hand once more, In the heart of the Celtic fire, forever we'll endure.
Years have passed like fleeting shadows, in a world so cold and vast, She wanders fields of barren stone, clinging to the past. But in dreams, the pipes awaken, with a reel that stirs the soul, Promising the dawn will break, and make her spirit whole.
Oh, echoes of the forgotten shore, call me home again, Through the mist and the heather, where the wild winds sing. We'll dance in the moonlight, hand in hand once more, In the heart of the Celtic fire, forever we'll endure.
And when the stars align in silver light, the bridge of hope appears, No chains of sea or sorrow's night, can hold back all her tears. With harp strings humming ancient lore, the journey turns to flight, From exile's grip to freedom's door, in the warmth of morning's sight.
Oh, echoes of the forgotten shore, call me home again, Through the mist and the heather, where the wild winds sing. We'll dance in the moonlight, hand in hand once more, In the heart of the Celtic fire, forever we'll endure.
Echoes fade... home again...
