Cailin's Lament

(These are actually song lyrics.  If there is any interest, I may figure out how to make a recording and put it on the blog at some point.)

Lost and alone

A memory of a memory

I know my name is Cailin

Mother a Human Bard

Father a Fae Warrior

I know my name is Cailin

Against the Unseelie

I stood in the Shield Wall

I know my name is Cailin

Thrice named is ritually alive

Grounded in Earth, Sea, and Sky

I am Cailin, the still insubstantial

Sometimes I wish I had died

I follow the voices

My friends and my lovers

They whisper to me on the Wind

I sing to the Silence

The scent of the flowers

Where corpses and carnage had been

The Dark that is Nameless

Stole Magic and Music

I comfort and hallow the Land

Thrice named is ritually alive

Grounded in Earth, Sea, and Sky

I am Cailin, the still insubstantial

Sometimes I wish I had died.

Heart sick and soul sick

My purpose is fading

My journey and songs nearly done

I seek in the Dark Moon

The soul who will hear me

Our keening is sounding as one

Dissolve this misery

With love crush despair

Find me and help me survive

Thrice named is ritually alive

Grounded in Earth, Sea, and Sky

I am Cailin, the still insubstantial

Great Danu, return me to life
