Unconquered

Music: The Minstrel Boy (traditional)

Down from the sky a star he came
On a horse made of song he came riding
And saw the darkness that covered all
And the free folk in fear abiding
He said, "For you I will shine my light
And drive away the endless Night."
And with a song the star took flight
Into the gloaming passing...

Against the Darkness on a wind-swept hill
The bright star shone defiant
And sent the challange to his ancient foe
Who answered though unvaliant
And in the Night the star he fell
And whither then no tale does tell
But evil could not his spirit quell
In the sky he shines unconquered...
