Horslips – Dearg Doom lyrics
My love is colder than black marble by the sea.
My heart is older than the cold oak tree.
I am the flash of silver in the sun.
When you see me coming you had better
Run, run, run
From Dearg Doom.
From Dearg Doom.
From Dearg Doom.
From Dearg Doom
.

You speak in whispers of the devils I have slain
By the fire of my silver Devil's Blade,
And still you dare to flaunt yourself at me.
I don't want you, I don't need you,
I don't love you, can't you see
I'm Dearg Doom.
I'm Dearg Doom.
I'm Dearg Doom.
I'm Dearg Doom.

And when the stars go out
You can hear me shout
"Two heads are better than none,
One hundred heads are so much better than one".

And when the stars go out
You can hear me shout
"Two heads are better than none,
One hundred heads are so much better than one".

I'm a boy who was born blind to pain
And, like a hawk, I'll swoop and swoop again.
I am the flash of Hawkeye in the sun.
When you see me coming you had better
Run, run, run
From Dearg Doom.
From Dearg Doom.
From Dearg Doom.
From Dearg Doom.

    Straight from Celtic and Gaelic mythology, this is the ritual boast of a warrior before battle, the chant of great strength and a listing of great deeds as the Champion calls for a worthy match from among the warriors of the other side. This is a theme from Celtic mythology that resonates - Conan the Barbarian is in this tradition in the writings of Robert E Howard, as are Michael Moorcock's heroes Elric and Corum. The art of Jim Fitzpatrick is a strong visual representation, as is the graphic novel hero Slaine.
