| I (still) admire the flow of echoing horns. | |
| Mimicking blows so boldly, | |
| I hear... | |
| I stand visibly, high, on this splendid bastion, | |
| To remember a | |
| High King, a tyrant of no fear | |
| I am the first son: a commander without a father, "Fortuitous doom," the last of his predictions. | |
| I'll take advantage by igniting the balusters... | |
| Preparing enraged flames with sweltering speed. [Chorus I - Cairn Warrior and Art Aenfer's War Exclamation (High King of Tara):] (THESE ARE THE) | |
| PILLARS OF | |
| MERCY! Today, | |
| I am callous... | |
| Tomorrow, | |
| I am king - | |
| Immortal, strong, exultant, and conquering! [Chorus II:] | |
| PILLARS OF | |
| MERCY! My song and my word are iniquitous - | |
| Gathering assemblies in days gone by! [Chorus III:] (FIRE BURNS WITH THE) | |
| PILLARS OF | |
| MERCY! My chariot races through saw-toothed hills, | |
| And hurls through every valley and mere! [Chorus IV:] | |
| PILLARS OF | |
| MERCY! Watchtowers collapse before the lift of the twilight, | |
| I am swift in battle- | |
| My voice is heard! | |
| PILLARS OF | |
| MERCY! Frost, fire, and wind are pelting all the columns... | |
| There is no dilution for them to fight again! | |
| Only three chariots are seen on the charred plains - | |
| Through all the throngs and clusters, lambs and stallions! "If you should speak to me now, Then I will chamber Tara's pinnacle. Why my father? Another damning scuffle? I (still) admire the sound of echoing horns!" [Chorus V - Cairn Warrior and Art Aenfer's War Exclamation (High King of Tara):] (THOSE WERE THE) | |
| PILLARS OF | |
| MERCY! Frenzied vultures gnawed the necks of dead men, | |
| As the sturdy, gilded columns had seethed! [Chorus VI:] | |
| PILLARS OF | |
| MERCY! Enemies' blood spurted like volley sprigs- | |
| The blustery fight was planned, then fought! [Chorus VII:] (FLAMES FLAYED ON THE) | |
| PILLARS OF | |
| MERCY! Their vapid minds were troubled and sides were pierced- | |
| And warlike deeds had been fulfilled! [Chorus VIII:] | |
| PILLARS OF | |
| MERCY! We saluted chieftains on the regal | |
| Tara - We hailed the tyrants that governed our waters! | |
| PILLARS OF | |
| MERCY! STR | |
| IKE! [Terminus:] | |
| There shall be no lack of dignity, | |
| For those who oppose them. [Repeat Terminus] "THERE WILL BE PILLARS OF MERCY!" |
