1
Another sleepless night
2
On a foreign shore
3
Candle flickers by my bed
4
Locks bolt my door
5
I drink too much wine
6
But it gives my brain relief
7
Stops the meanderings
8
That root me from my sleep
9
I stare out at the night
10
From a sweat-soaked bed
11
The Queen lays plots in London
12
But she won't have my head
13
The candle gutters
14
The smell sweeps me back
15
To the icy fields of Kinsale
16
The bodies burning black
17
Fire and lightning protect Tirconaill
18
Fire and brimstone rain down on London
19
They'll long remember Red Hugh O'Donnell
20
I could not join that battle
21
I gave orders from my horse
22
Wick low snows had withered
23
The toes inside my boots
24
Still a fever of anxiety
25
Racks my bones
26
All my friends dead
27
On Kinsale's icy roads
28
Oh, were I back in Ulster
29
I'd dive in Swilly's foam
30
Her crystal waters
31
Would soothe my soul
32
Dispatches from O'Neill
33
He grows old and cautious
34
Our allies are deserting
35
My blade would rip their stomachs
36
If Philip won't help
37
I'll return alone
38
O'Neill longs for an armistice
39
What profit in a peace
40
With a queen who'll break her word
41
I swear to God
42
That bitch will taste my sword
43
I'll drag her red wig from her head
44
Pull out her poisoned tongue
45
I must get back to Ulster
46
The candle is dead
47
There's footsteps at my door
48
They halt
49
I'm tormented by that whore
50
Who waits at court in London
51
For word of my demise
52
Her agents hunt me everywhere
53
But I will not be taken
54
By any of her men
55
My head will not grace London's spike
56
I'll fight her to the end
57
Tonight I sup with James Blake
58
An honest man is he
59
He's promised me three ships of war
60
We'll sweep Lizzie from her throne
61
I will take my place
62
High King of the Irish
63
Defender of my faith
64
With O'Neill as my adviser
65
O'Byrne at my side
66
I'll rule with justice
67
But now the dawn is breaking
68
On this foreign shore
69
I will arise and say my prayers
70
Tomorrow I'll go home
