She does not ride tonight
The lantern flickers
Her blade sleeps
A crown of fire with hooves that pound
And mist that coils along the ground
She stands where blood and memory meet
A headless queen with tireless feet
A lullaby from long ago
Returns in echoes soft and slow
She cannot hum but still it plays
Through hollow winds and haunted days
Let sleep descend a silent thief
To coil around the roots of grief
Where dreams are dirt and breath is stone
She walks the night no longer alone
A mother's hand once touched her hair
Now ash is all that lingers there
The lantern dims the air stands still
As sorrow drinks the moorland's chill
No name remains no lullaby
No lips to sing no eyes to cry
But in the hush between her death
She dreamsAnd exhales without a breath
An dtagann codladh riamh ar scáth mar mise?
Ní fheicfidh mé solas gan pian
Let sleep descend a silent thief
To coil around the roots of grief
Where dreams are dirt and breath is stone
She walks the night no longer alone
