Badb

In Irish mythology, the Badb (Old Irish, pronounced [ˈbaðβ]), or in Modern Irish Badhbh (Irish pronunciation: [ˈbˠəu], Munster Irish: [ˈbˠəiw])—also meaning "crow"—is a war goddess who takes the form of a crow, and is thus sometimes known as Badb Catha ("battle crow"). She is known to cause fear and confusion among soldiers to move the tide of battle to her favoured side. Badb may also appear prior to a battle to foreshadow the extent of the carnage to come, or to predict the death of a notable person. She would sometimes do this through wailing cries, leading to comparisons with the bean-sídhe (banshee). With her sisters, Macha and the Morrigan or Anand, Badb is part of a trio of war goddesses known as the three Morrígna. more »

Feel the power
From the heart of the land
Most have forgotten
But some still can
Those who are true
Are those that are strong
Only her true children
Hear Eire's beautiful song

The streams sings songs of our clans
Hymns of history
Heroic men
Deep in the mist you can feel
The Celtic soul beckon thee
Remember that which makes us strong a common line
Tied by blood
Adorn your sword and your shield
Face down the enemy

Awaken sons of Fionn
Feel the power within your blood
Awaken daughters of Queen Medb
It's time to give them hell to pay
From south to north
A Gaelic force
No longer shall they take from us
Feel the blood start to pump
Beat the battle drums

Feel the power of ringfort on hill
Hear the Banshee cry
For those who sacrificed
For us to remain
They would turn their backs in disgrace
Disown us all
And turn us away

For what had become of our isle
Run by traitors and blind eyes
Awaken Fenian time draws near
Éirinn summons you to her
Thousands of years tied by veins
Of untold invaders that were slain
Do not ignore the duty bestowed upon you

Awaken sons of Fionn
Feel the power within your blood
Awaken daughters of Queen Medb
It's time to give them hell to pay
From south to north
A Gaelic force
No longer shall they take from us
Feel the blood start to pump
Beat the battle drums

Rise or fall if you gave you best
You will have peace when laid to rest
South to north a Celtic force to drive these rats from our shores
Adorn your crest and your sword face down the enemies by the horde
Feel the blood start to pump
Now beat the battle drums
