lyrics

A druid lingers among the stones of Ulaid
The fog breaches from the sea
Hooded crows throng and cackle overhead
This night he must augur the coming of war

Scald-crows gather skyward ready for the violence
He prepares the scapula waiting for a message
Dancing shadows through the smoke of the sacred fire
War sisters congregate to direct the outcome

A ram's right shoulder blade to reveal fate
It should be boiled clean – no remaining flesh!
Blemishes and indents reveal premonitions
Badb flies above in the misty dimness

Féth Fíada conceals the sage impeding interruption
He carefully coddles bone in his blackened cauldron
The firelight stretches over ancient stones
Goddesses encircle tight to instill ardor

An adept reader of bone must read the largest hole
Position should be confirmed – to reveal death!
Scapula for survival of due carnage
Morrígan sends a croak into the hazy gloominess

A ram's right shoulder blade to reveal fate
It should be boiled clean – no remaining flesh!
Blemishes and indents reveal premonitions
Nemain observes through the fog-strewn murkiness

The eye of the bone faces upward to the sky
Where the war crows reside in obscurity
The seer inspects his token of fortune
To evade death or die in great fury
