lyrics

Finan Ap Doyle of the High Reaches, I
Do make a claim on this ground.
We've walked these paths and wider skies
Before your king took up his crown.
We've sent our strongest for your fights,
Counted home their wounded souls.
After certain years of nights,
Our mothers refuse your tolls.

Three rivers take out bodies to the sea,
But only one brings them back.
I'm all wrapped up in this geography,
I am a man become a map.

Finan Ap Doyle of the High Reaches, I
Do reject your soldiery.
I speak with the tongue of a thousand men,
From here to Harding Sea.
Let pass your cattle there to graze,
Let pass your tinker's dray.
Let pass your merchant's weary flatland legs,
But let no man bear a blade.

Three rivers take out bodies to the sea,
But only one brings them back.
I'm all wrapped up in this geography,
I am a man become a map.

Finan Ap Doyle of the High Reaches, I
And the brothers of my birth.
Where I am buried there my sword shall lie,
We do hereby reject their worth.
Raise not your banners here again,
Nor from here to Harding Sea.
We are the last High Reaches fighting men,
Our sons we raise to peace.

Three rivers take out bodies to the sea,
But only one brings them back.
I'm all wrapped up in this geography,
I am a man become a map.
I am a man become a map.
