A beauty, the phantom queen
flies the cloudless skies above.
She is the bringer of fertility
but very often not of love.

This godess bestows war and death
to all the people of her land.
While her warriors cut them down
one by one, bloody swords in hand.

The Irish fear this diety
for the Morrigan they all know.
She has come to impart upon them strife
in the form of the crow.

A Little Wiki Knowledge:

The Morrígan ("phantom queen") or Mórrígan ("great queen"), is a figure from Irish mythology who appears to have once been a goddess.

The Morrigan is a goddess of battle, strife, and fertility. She sometimes appears in the form of a crow, flying above the warriors. She is generally considered a war deity. Although her association with cattle also suggests a role connected with fertility, wealth, and the land.

She is often depicted as a triple goddess; the Badb, Macha and Nemain.
