Mother of Ships

Powerful by land and sea
Ruling them with iron hand
Sailing on the wicked waves
Gráinne Mhaol from Mhaigh Eo’s land
Hail! Mother of Ships! Mother of Pirates!
Let me fearless on the tides
Mother of Ships! Mother of Pirates!
Daughter of Ireland by my side
Braving the mighty storm
I am not afraid of pain
Bring your animosity
Cowering, you’ll hear my name
Hear the horn
Feel the spray
I embrace the coming storm
Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile
Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile
Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile
Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh
Hail! Mother of Ships! Mother of Pirates!
Let me fearless on the tides
Mother of Ships! Mother of Pirates!
Daughter of Ireland by my side

Where Louhi left off long ago
I am raising up his might to rise
Väinämöinen’s spell undone
Listen to my cries!
From the depths, he comes alive
I command the icy tides
Lift the creature from the deepest cold
Red horizon on the waves
Break to show him – the Beast of Old
CHORUS:
Iko Turso being your nightmare
Conquer all my wicked foes
Ancient One, the Bearded Monster
To the sea, my sordid soul!

Veni Cthulhu! Venite ad nos!
Tenebrae enarrant gloriam infernalis Dei.
Etiam umbrae adventum eius susurrant.
Et animantia tenebras timent, quia ipsorum animae eum sentient.
Ante portam mundi tui stamus.
Veni Cthulhu! Venite ad nos!
Nox et spiritus istius ricas tenebrarum ante eum aperiunto.
Veni Cthulhu. Venite ad nos!
Legiones noctis portam inter orbes nostros aperiunto. Vos in orbem nostrum.
Veni Cthulhu! Venite ad nos!

Aegir merely whispered as I came awake
A sting of saline tongue burns my wounds
Abandoned in the water, my brothers left me to Rán
Through the smoke with depths beneath, I cried to them
My Valkyrje is blind to me, but I died for them
And here I saw a vessel, coming to my aid
Empty as my breath
The sister-ship of Visund, blackened by the flames
Barren as my death
CHORUS:
I will fight this battle, I will live again
The sister of Visund ferries me
I will douse the fire of fate
She will be my longship, my funeral to be
The sister of Visund ferries me
I’ll go where my glory awaits

Lo! Shooting at the Black Reef
Little did we know what lay waiting down below
Iä! Woke the dormant demon
How were we to know of the misbegotten curse bestowed?
Torpedo’s loosed it from its den
A blasphemous abnormality
I saw the change that took my men
Their pandemonium of heresy
CHORUS
Ad Gloriam Dagon!
Ad Gloriam Dagon!
Ex Maledictum, Potentia
Ad Gloriam Dagon!
So! Fucking with the Deep Ones
Left us never dying. Left us in the darkest blue
Hark! Suffer deformation. Left us ever changing
Left us an accursed crew
