Cruachan The Middle Kingdom Lyrics

The Middle Kingdom Lyrics

We who are old yet fair of face,

Thousands of years this world did
grace,

Beneath the earth away from men,

Our Middle Kingdom it lies
hidden.

With sword in hand and our shields by our sides,

We march
in hoards we will never subside.

Our D Danann form has passed with
time,

But still we love music and still we love wine.



We are
of the forest, we are of the earth,

Our heads full of knowledge our ways
full of mirth.



We know all the answers to questions unasked,

We live in the light with no fear of the dark.



It must be said
we have dark evil breeds,

Who plague mankind with their mischievous
deeds,

The Phooka, the Merrow, the wailing Bean-shee,

Are hideous
creatures as dark as can be.



Avoid the lone thorn tree that grows
in the field,

Do not cut it down with the axe that you wield,

It
coarses magic from branch to root,

And woe to he who eats its fruit.

Of itself the tree did grow,

From faerie magic cast long ago,

Therefore we bid you to let it stand,

Ill fortune to those who ignore
our command.



"We who are old, we are revered, born of the earth,
immortal and feared"



In the dead of night see us dance on the
hills,

On fiddles and flutes we play jigs and reels.

The sky is
ablaze with a myriad of light,

Our faerie music is heard through the
night.

We who are old yet fair of face,

Thousands of years this
world did grace,

But modern man and his cynical ways,

Are bringing
us to the end of our days.
