Elementals


Ríoghnach nEachach            


Fire:
We want to watch the world burn
We want to see it die
We want to watch the world burn
With a twinkle in our eye

Never has the world given us
Anything at all
We must take what we must, my friends
So let's just take it all

We'll fight for truth and honor, friends
We'll fight for justice, too
We'll fight for fire in our guts
When their faces hit our shoe

Water:
The battle's not long done, my friends
So time it is to mourn
Let's not bring grief into our homes
But let it here be borne

The rains will bring us all relief
By hiding any tears
So let us stand with pride this day
For we have faced our fears

And those we lost along the way,
We'll scarce have time to miss
For battles come again for us
On early morning mists

Earth:
The harvest's in, the meats are cooked,
The bread and cheese inhaled
The boys, they did put up a fight,
But now they are impaled

Now pass me ale and wine so fine
The patrons all will swoon
Pass me fruit and salad now
Or I'll soon be a balloon

The grains and meats do bless us well
The earth's bounty in truth
So let us drink now to our health
And our minds' eternal youth

Air:
Our blessings now to fallen friends
Their souls now upward bound
We celebrate the winds that carry them
Our hopeful sound

We'll see them all in fighting shape
For swinging we'll go down
Our hearts are in our swordhands
Where our fates are truly bound

My friends, we honor you tonight
Tomorrow and the next
We'll see you soon, though not, we hope
For many yet good breaths
