Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dazzling brilliance
Shone upon another day
Lugh, o God of the sun
God of the sun
Burning fire
Sustaining life
Lugh, o God of the sun
Help us face dawn
These lyrics from Waylander's song Sunrise are speaking of the beauty and power of the rising sun, which is often seen as a symbol of a new day and a fresh start. The first two lines, "Radiance/Dazzling brilliance," describe the overwhelming beauty of the sun's rays as they break through the darkness of night. The next two lines, "Shone upon another day/Lugh, o God of the sun," acknowledge the sun as a physical representation of Lugh, a Celtic God who was often associated with light and the sun. The lyrics go on to describe the sun's role in sustaining life ("Burning fire/Sustaining life") and end with a plea to Lugh to help people face the challenges of a new day ("Help, help us face/Help us face dawn").
The song seems to be about the power of nature and the role it plays in human lives. It reminds us that every day is a new opportunity to face the challenges of life with help from the sun and the gods. The lyrics also have a spiritual aspect to them, as they refer to the Celtic God Lugh and his role as a protector and guide. Overall, the song is an ode to the beauty and power of the natural world and the ways in which it can inspire and sustain us.

On a regular basis you should be doing it xTeke, a truly empowering experience it is. I am sat in my darkened lair listening in at approximately 04.20 am on 08.02.2020 where the sun will soon begin to rise over the beautiful flat plains of the Curragh of Kildare here in Ireland's Ancient Eastern domain. This was once the site of many great ancient battles and is one of the most beautifully illuminated green stretches of land one is ever likely to find on this our sacred planet of Earth. From here the sun will sweep Westward across the fair green pastures of the midlands and into the Slieve Bloom Mountains illuminating and nurturing all it encounters in this the beginnings of the season of Imbolc, where renewal and rebirth are rife all around us...
Let us hope this great rebirth can be echoed by the people of Ireland today as they go to the ballot box to elect what so many hope will be a new government for the people of Ireland by true representatives of the people of Ireland. A government which represents the interests of all the inhabitants of our fair island, one which shuns away from the molly coddling and shoe shining of corporate conglomerates and rogue superstates that the present highly conservative ruling (un)Fine Gael administration has now seemingly mastered down to a fine art.
'Arise now sons of Roisín' for a new challenge bequeaths thee; that to honour the decrees of our sacred Sídhe
and banish henceforth all bastions of O'Duffy and his followers legacy and the fanatical authoritarian ideals for which they chose to build their creed upon and allow us to rebuild our republic with a pride and honour that befits the great spirit of Gaelic Ireland with its saintly and scholarly mantle.
A pride and honour too befitting of the great heroes of 1916 who in the Springing of that most sacred of years gave not only rise but also belief to millions of people not just here in Ireland but in much of the world over that Small Nations could well and truly be free of their tyrannical oppressors and could indeed determine their own destiny and make their own imprints upon the histories of the world...
'Óró, sé do bheatha ar bhaile,
Óró, sé do bheatha ar bhaile,
Óró, sé do bheatha ar bhaile,
Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh...'
In honour of the spirit of Irish hero Padraig Pearse 10.11.1879 - 03.05.1916
