[Cairn Warrior's Atrocious Assertion to War:]
|
I (still) admire the flow of echoing horns.
|
Mimicking blows so boldly, I hear...
|
I stand visibly, high, on this splendid bastion,
|
To remember a High King, a tyrant of no fear
|
|
I am the first son: a commander without a father,
|
"Fortuitous doom," the last of his predictions.
|
I'll take advantage by igniting the balusters...
|
Preparing enraged flames with sweltering speed.
|
|
[Chorus I - Cairn Warrior and Art Aenfer's War Exclamation (High King of Tara):]
|
(THESE ARE THE) PILLARS OF MERCY!
|
Today, I am callous...
|
Tomorrow, I am king -
|
Immortal, strong, exultant, and conquering!
|
|
[Chorus II:]
|
PILLARS OF MERCY!
|
My song and my word are iniquitous -
|
Gathering assemblies in days gone by!
|
|
[Chorus III:]
|
(FIRE BURNS WITH THE) PILLARS OF MERCY!
|
My chariot races through saw-toothed hills,
|
And hurls through every valley and mere!
|
|
[Chorus IV:]
|
PILLARS OF MERCY!
|
Watchtowers collapse before the lift of the twilight,
|
I am swift in battle-
|
My voice is heard!
|
PILLARS OF MERCY!
|
|
Frost, fire, and wind are pelting all the columns...
|
There is no dilution for them to fight again!
|
Only three chariots are seen on the charred plains -
|
Through all the throngs and clusters, lambs and stallions!
|
|
"If you should speak to me now,
|
Then I will chamber Tara's pinnacle.
|
Why my father? Another damning scuffle?
|
I (still) admire the sound of echoing horns!"
|
|
[Chorus V - Cairn Warrior and Art Aenfer's War Exclamation (High King of Tara):]
|
(THOSE WERE THE) PILLARS OF MERCY!
|
Frenzied vultures gnawed the necks of dead men,
|
As the sturdy, gilded columns had seethed!
|
|
[Chorus VI:]
|
PILLARS OF MERCY!
|
Enemies' blood spurted like volley sprigs-
|
The blustery fight was planned, then fought!
|
|
[Chorus VII:]
|
(FLAMES FLAYED ON THE) PILLARS OF MERCY!
|
Their vapid minds were troubled and sides were pierced-
|
And warlike deeds had been fulfilled!
|
|
[Chorus VIII:]
|
PILLARS OF MERCY!
|
We saluted chieftains on the regal Tara -
|
We hailed the tyrants that governed our waters!
|
PILLARS OF MERCY!
|
STRIKE!
|
|
[Terminus:]
|
There shall be no lack of dignity,
|
For those who oppose them.
|
|
[Repeat Terminus]
|
|
"THERE WILL BE PILLARS OF MERCY!"
