This song is inspired by the Legend of the Children of Lir, one of the most haunting tales of Irish mythology. In this tragic story, four royal children are cursed by their jealous stepmother and transformed into swans, doomed to wander the waters for a thousand years. Though time erases kingdoms and names, love and sorrow remain eternal. The song captures the melancholic beauty of their fate, blending a dreamlike melody with the echoes of their voices lost to the wind.

Swan’s Lament

(Verse 1)
By silver lake, beneath the moon,
Four voices sang a sorrowed tune,
Bound by whispers, cursed to roam,
Far from love, far from home.

(Verse 2)
White wings drifting on the tide,
Years like echoes, none abide,
Chained by spells of jealous might,
Fading shadows lost in flight.

(Chorus)
Oh, winds that call, but set me free,
Lost between the sky and sea,
One thousand years, the dawn still cries,
Yet love remains when magic dies.

(Verse 3)
Winter came, the waters froze,
Time stood still where no one goes,
Yet in his arms, I dared to dream,
Fate was crueler than it seemed.

(Bridge)
Oh, bells of faith, you broke the spell,
Yet left us nothing but farewell,
No flesh nor feather, form nor name,
Just memories whispering in the rain.

(Chorus)
Oh, winds that call, but set me free,
Lost between the sky and sea,
One thousand years, the dawn still cries,
Yet love remains when magic dies.

(Outro)
Soft as mist, we fade away,
Not a trace where once we lay,
But if you listen through the night,
Our voices dance… in wings of white.
