Columba’s Song Lyrics by Caedmon

Columcille, Columcille, a holy man and true
Who journeyed through the mountains to spread the light of truth
And on that brave man's travels was nowhere he dare not go
Let the weird winds, wild winds blow
Now Brechin, though druid, was a mighty man and dread
He could charm the wild beasts by evil spells he said
By his fearful magic, the dark storms lay in his hold
Let the weird winds, wild winds blow
One day on the shores of Ness, the saint prepared to sail
Said "Brechin, the sorcerer, your ship will surely fail
For I shall raise the storm clouds and darkness and rain and cold
Let the weird winds, wild winds blow"
Now on the morrow's dawning, the mist hung grey and cold
The winds, they fought against him just as the druid told
As Columcille stood in his craft, the sorcerer laughed and called
"Let the weird winds, wild winds blow"
The storm was raging fiercely with screaming wind and rain
The sailors cowered on the deck, though shelter was in vain
While mocking druids watched on the shore
The saint prayed to Christ, our Lord
Let the weird winds, wild winds blow
Suddenly the rig was hoist, the ship prepared to sail
Brechin was stunned to see her ride against the gale
Sailing true against the winds and watching them lose their force
Let the weird winds, wild winds blow
Let the weird winds, wild winds blow
