They thought they were greater than you.
Stronger than you,
more powerful than you,
more important than you.
Unquestioned in their cruelty,
and you a woman,
pregnant, unprotected.
No threat to the men of Ulster.
Yet still you pleaded with them.
Have mercy,
did not a mother bare you?
Have mercy,
looks can deceive.
I have power,
I have strength,
I have speed,
I know the words of power,
to bless,
to heal,
to curse,
to cripple,
to bring justice,
to bring low the men of Ulster.
If you will not hear me with the woman's voice,
I will curse you with a crow's voice.
