Arise from the Dungeon

Translation by https://lyricstranslate.com/en/toll-dubh-dungeon.html Original Gaelic: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/runrig-toll-dubh-lyrics.html

Behind the locked door, there’ll be no sun

For feasting

There’ll be no food or wine

Behind the locked door, there’ll be no sun

There’ll be no food or wine

It’s high time we arose from this lethargy

It’s high time we arose from this lethargy

We, Gaels in bed

We, Gaels in sleep

It’s high time we arose from this lethargy

He came from England

He came

On speeding horses and with a heavy key

He came from England

On speeding horses and with a heavy key

It’s high time we arose from this lethargy

It’s high time we arose from this lethargy

We, Gaels in bed

We, Gaels in sleep

It’s high time we arose from this lethargy

Deep down in the dungeon, there’ll be no sun

Insomnia. Such an invigorating day, beginning with an actual good night sleep, going in early to work and put out fire after fire… ending at the gym ahead of schedule there too.

Insomnia will slow you down. Sleep is so unpredictable now. Tomorrow will be rough again.

Have Faith. The Holy Spirit leads when you are willing to follow. Keep taking charge and walk the path He has set before you. Discouragement at inconveniences need not sidetrack you. Arise, and meet the challenges of the day.

Arise and fight on. Lethargy doesn’t become ye. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
