A great flood has beset this hill-fort Water to our gates The air is clear for miles around us Now an insula That which would command the valley stands alone The land we know lies flooded below Until ebb the waters, islands are we all I see for miles around; islands are we all There are those who need my aid Those to whom I've sworn oaths Signal fires, calls from the ramparts I will send all I can to those to whom I'm bound I will send all I can to those to whom I'm bound Until ebb the waters, islands are we all I see for miles around; Islands are we all Until the waters ebb The waters soon will ebb Insular, one we are One against these tides Insular, one we are Until ebb the waters high Ancient winds all around, lift the osprey high Ancient winds, let her our thousand fires bright Ancient winds all around, lift the osprey high Let her see our thousand fires shimmering as one
