Once before I sang this song
but all the words came bent and wrong
So if I try and sing again
Of Ulfgar, Prince of Gods and men
Forgive my tone and slurry words
And pound your feet and cups and swords

Long before I reached this land,
A Prince stood tall with sword in hand,
He fought the East and South and North,
And taught them all of Tir Righ's worth,

But he turned and left us then,
Destroying all the hopes of men,
Not knowing if he would return,
Or leave his lands and towns to burn,

From swampen south he did appear,
and took away all doubt and fear,
Women new had found their voice,
Men cried out and did rejoice,

For Ulfgar had come again!

But he's bound to leave once more,
Chasing foreign gems and war,
Miles long and years from home,
Destined but to sack and roam,
But when our sky is dark as night,
He will return and make things right.


For Caemgen wrote this,
and placed it upon this stone with the hand of Miles beside him
