Brian Boru's March

Clannad

Brian Boru, one of the greatest 
And coolest high kings of ireland
Will have his 1000 year anniversary 
On Good Friday in 2014 and we're having a party 
To cheer him on his way.

He was the "Ard Ri", meaning "High King"
So to be honest he was one of the first 
And most defo the last high king 
To unite Ireland under one monarch.
When he was eighty-nine, he gave the Vikings a good 
'ol Battle at Clontarf on Good Friday, 1014 
And defeated them, but didn't get 
To make it home himself 
And one of de pissed off defeated Vikings

Bothair, murdered Brian, apparently in his tent!
Ireland's coolest king was dead and gone, but
"Brian was the last man in Erin who was a match for a hundred."
So fancy coming along to celebrate on the day?
