Seanachie Lyrics

You are the chosen he said

As he led us before the Clan

Young men with promise he said

With our Legends to be fed

With our Legends to be fed

I was Nineteen my senses keen

But so was my sword

I thought sharper than his words

Our Seanachie

Our Seanachie

Sing our Legends to me

I'll listen, I listen well

Tell our Stories to me

I'll learn them

I'll learn them well

Lay down your sword

You're a Seanachie

Lay down your sword

Lay down your sword

You're a Seanachie

Lay down your sword

Young men are mortal he said

As I crept up towards a fire

Question your limits he said

If you cross them you are dead

If you cross them you are dead.

I was Nineteen hardened and mean

But so was my sword

Now thrust in the hot flame

Of eternity, of eternity

Sing our Legends to me

I'll listen I listen well

Tell our Stories to me

I'll learn them

I'll learn them well.

Lay down your sword

You're a Seanachie

Lay down your sword

Lay down your sword

You're a Seanachie

Lay down your sword

Into our village there came

To defeat us some Viking men

Swords swung by the best of our men

Met Axes and they did bend

Met Axes and did bend

He was unseen our Seanachie

But everyone heard

A tongue sharper than the sword

Oranaiche

Oranaiche

Sing our Legends to me

I'll listen I listen well

Tell our Stories to me

I'll learn them

I'll learn them well

Lay down your sword

You're a Seanachie

Lay down your sword

Lay down your sword

You're a Seanachie

Lay down your sword

Now I'm laying

With the Woman of the Clan

Our Sine I'm Seanachie

My Son is bouncing on my knee

Does he Listen

No not to me

To her but not to me.

I am singing and telling tales

There's rust on my sword

My tongue sharper from his words

Our Seanachie

Our Seanachie

Like your father before you

You are a Seanachie

A Seanachie
