[Manann¡n's Notions from Emain Ablhach:] 
I am a wave: on the rapt Cythr¡ul 
I am a flood: across the croggy plain 
I am a wind: of seven gales 
I am a tear: the Sun lets fall 

[Chorus I:] 
I am 
Manann¡n 
Mac Lir 
Noble warrior of lycanthropy 
I am 
Fachtna 
High King 
To shake thy cloak shall bring outbreak 

I am a tide: that drags to engulfment 
I am a current: a compass towards Visnech 
I am a tempest: the onslaught of outburst 
I am a zephyr: theirs is second pain 

[Chorus II:] 
I am Manann¡n 
Mac Lir 
Avatar from sail to sea 
Thy horse 
Aonbharr 
Grand Steed 
Chariots forever lead 

I am an ocean's womb: of all abysms 
I am a blaze: for every burning bathym 
I am a lure: of the plumbless benthos 
I am a breaker: bottomlessness doom 

[Chorus III:] 
I am 
Manann¡n 
Mac Lir 
Shape-changer; Lar of deep 
Thy sword 
Fragarch 
"The Answerer..." 

[Bridge:] 
Remember me, thou art all wind 
And back with gusts thou shalt return 

I'm the hawk: above this cliff, behind the waves 
I'm the thorn: exude this rose, yet fleece the sky 
...FLEECE THE SKY 

I'm the hill: where poets walk and Tara lies 
I'm the throne: from a tantalizing glimpse 
...FROM A TANTALIZING GLIMPSE 

[Repeat 4th & 5th Verse] 

[Chorus IV:] 
Hear the thunder roll 
I am 
Manann¡n, 
And fear the sky shall fall [x5] 

[Repeat Chorus IV]
