Morrigan
Omnia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Over hills and over meadows
see the crow fly, feel her shadow
Over woods and over mountains
searching for a war

Her wings embrace each strife and battle
where swords they clash and chariots rattle
seeking out the one whose time
has come to take the blade

Morrigan ancient crone of war
I see your face, I'll cry no more
Morrigan ancient crone of war
come lift me on your wings

Morrigan ancient crone of war
I hear your voice, I'll breathe no more
Morrigan ancient crone of war
come set my spirit free

Kill for Morrigan
Maim for Morrigan
Fight for Morrigan
and you will
Slay for Morrigan




Die for Morrigan
Morrigan crone of war

Overall Meaning

The song "Morrigan" by Omnia is a tribute to the ancient Celtic goddess of war and death, Morrigan. The first few stanzas evoke an image of the crow, the bird closely associated with Morrigan, flying over the countryside in search of a war.

She is searching for the warrior whose time has come to take the blade, suggesting that she is the one who decides who lives and who dies on the battlefield.


As the song progresses, the lyrics address Morrigan directly, calling her the "ancient crone of war." The crone aspect of Morrigan refers to her role as a goddess of death and the underworld, as well as her association with wisdom and prophecy.

He asks Morrigan to lift him on her wings and set his spirit free, implying that he is willing to die in battle and become one with the goddess.


The chorus of the song provides a rallying cry for those who would fight under Morrigan's banner.

Someone once commented on a top list of pagan folk groups the Omnia are basically metalheads that forgot to plug in. They are. But that's why I love them. They have so much energy that it moves the soul. And for having no distortion to speak of, they are heavy as fuck!
