2.	Bàs 04:51	lyrics
The end of all life has come To the tombs, humanity will go Bas Axes swing Nukes will fall Idealistic speeches given Their drivel doesn't matter Death is unforgiving Bas The blade strikes The ashes spread The fate is the same Face your dread Bas We rise From History To end it all Bas
3.	Odium Humanitatis 03:28	lyrics
Shades of Darkness Overtake this world Chaos reigns Bodies Furled Dagda fades We Destroy Macha Aengus Og, set aflame Diancecht crucified Cailleach drawn and quarted Hanged from the gallows is Eostre Goibhniu, beheaded Badb Catha, Forcefed molten gold The world is razed The Galloglaigh stand Burning piles, our gaze We stand above all Watching your bodies burn Odium Humanitatis We stand above all Watching your bodies burn Odium Humanitatis We stand above all Watching their bodies burn Odium Existentia Odium Humanitatis Solve et Coagula
4.	Gallóglaigh 03:52	lyrics
Here my footsteps pad upon this meadow, Obscurred by the mist laden chill in the air, A watcher in the distance does catch my eye, Unearthly and pale figure, beckoning to me. Standing upon the marshy earth, He calls out my name forlornly, Armoured in shirts of mail, A mercenary from the distant past. I approach unsettled but curious, Creeping towards the ghostly presence, He steps back and retreats into the mist, His form scatters into the woods. I give chase, my feet carrying me swiftly, Hearing my name echo on the winds, Stumbling over knots of branches, Falling before a great oak's roots. The shade looks down upon me, And softly whispers my name, His lilting voice from northern isles, A warrior from foreign lands.
5.	Cú Chulainn 02:37	lyrics
Born of Mortal and Divine Unequaled, Unstoppable Rage The warrior, Cu Chulainn Unmatched prowess Slaying thousands friend or foe Riastrad Cu Chulainn Full of Rage Bearing teeth Man or god, death is faced Unmatched prowess Slaying thousands friend or foe Riastrad
6.	Forging the Sparth 02:58	lyrics
The hammer strikes the steel I'm ready for the kill The heat of the forge The sweat on my brow In your skull, I form a gorge Meet your end from the Sparth The blade rips through Tearing your flesh My sparth is forged This weapon is my life With it I claim yours And take all that is yours The forge burns brighter In your skull, I form a gorge Meet your end from the Sparth The blade rips through Tearing your flesh My sparth is forged Embrace your new found darkness Close your eyes and feel the strike
7.	Cliff of the Abyss 04:32	lyrics
Standing at the edge of all of this Watching the waves crash Water meets rock My blade is tired The wind blows stronger The waves crash harder My bloodstained armor Washed clean My blade has grown dull My armor thin Bloodstains forever in my mind The screams of ten thousand They will never breathe Never Again The abyssmal eye opens The Wind swirls stronger I step forward, closer The lightning strikes.. I fall into the abyss From this cliffside To face ten thousand strong They have not forgotten me...
8.	Forefront of Battle, Eternal 04:42	lyrics
We ride forth From the Heavens and hell A force to be met Unmatched The sparth beheads The swords collide Another battle Your final day Destroying your idols Decimating your lives Burning your homes Fed of your cries The sparth beheads The swords collide Another battle Your final day The forefront of battle Our blades meet The crushing blow Onward, Galloglaigh! Onward, Galloglaigh! Swing your blades Skin the bones Hang the bodies Drink the blood Consume the flesh Of the fallen
9.	Sudreyjar 04:14	lyrics
Sudreyjar We come for you Rooting the norse from their throne A divided kingdom, We set to unite A twisted past, nevermore They will no longer imprison you They will no longer opress you We ignite the flame, of your freedom The attack on Skye Will be your end Invoking magma of black cullin They will no longer imprison you They will no longer opress you The fire burns... The end is nigh... We ride We row We strike Bodach Rise End them all Claim the souls Cailleach stand Bring life...

about

The debut album of Galloglaigh. Featured only on bandcamp and is completely free.

After this album was released, I immediately wanted to take the sound in a different direction as I was unhappy with the final product.
