BARDS OF DESTINY · THE DESTINY CYCLE

Erin's Hero Rising

The lyrical heart of Book 2 of The Destiny Cycle expresses Breanna's bond with the Heart of Destiny, who proclaimed her warrior as Erin's Hero.

Stone of Destiny (Book Two) – An Epic Fantasy of War & Fate in Mythic Ireland: Power Claimed. Existence Threatened. Sacrifice Required.

About the music

Listen to Erin's Hero Rising by Bards of Destiny, the Stone of Destiny song celebrating Breanna Ban Morna's call as Erin's Hero.

In "Erin's Hero Rising", Cilla leads with the vocals. This composition is more epic since the song is performed for the first time at a Gaelic Céilí in Stone of Destiny, with more musicians on the stage this time. It is an outstanding effort thanks to my two honorary Gaelic Bards Claire Odlum and Muse Cilla!

Listen & watch

In the kingdoms of Emerald Erin
Where the Heart of Destiny beats
To choose Erin’s next hero in times of needs
Ćroí Dàn, can you hear the calling?
The whispers of many lost souls
When kingdoms are close to falling
You’ll find the right hero for us
Ćroí Dàn defends us
Ćroí Dàn protects us
In your chosen hero we trust
Ćroí Dàn defends us
Ćroí Dàn protects us
Make fire rise from the dust
They came to conquer our Land
Some fought and some held hostage
Yet one would end all the fear
Our next Erin’s Hero with courage
One born of blood from both sides
As our gods before have foreseen
They gave her the magic to stand
And build a new destiny
Ćroí Dàn defends us
Ćroí Dàn protects us
In your chosen hero we trust
Ćroí Dàn defends us
Ćroí Dàn protects us
Make fire rise from the dust
Ćroí Dàn has called a Hero
To battle and bleed
For our land and our pride
In dark times she’ll lead
Ćroí Dàn has called a Hero
To battle and bleed
For our land and our pride
May the land of Erin live free
Ćroí Dàn defends us
Ćroí Dàn protects us
In your chosen hero we trust
Ćroí Dàn defends us
Ćroí Dàn protects us
Make fire rise from the dust
