Dawning Of The Grey Lyrics
The first of Bealtaine 1169, a date destined to strike fear and loathing
In the hearts of the Irish for near a millenium
As the sails were lowered. While oar and the strength of man did the ships propel up to battle and bloodshed.
Victory… and the rise of the Grey
Beyond the mouth of the bay known as Bannow.

With a hastely gathered five hundred men did Diarmuid Mac Murchadha heal south.
While still more foreigners Grey under De Prendergast’s banner did land at Bannow.

And so to the Veisafjord did the warriors go Norman, Fleming, Welsh and Irish
To besiege the town of the Dubhghall
And teach the Norse a lesson in soldiery.
