Gentle mist rolls out the bay,
Velvet grey,
Jenny sets her sights
By the spotlight of the moon.
Hunted like a witch from hell,
She cast a spell,
Clapped her palms and screamed until
The curse was cast on Jenny Black’s Hill.
Upon the lough, Upon the lough
(A silhouette)
Upon the lough, Upon the lough,
(So still and wet)
And so they talk, And so they talk
(We’ll get her yet)
So they talk, So they talk.
To this day she roams the fields,
Away she steals,
That name still lingers on our ears
Despite the passing of the years.
Upon the lough, Upon the lough,
(A silhouette)
Upon the lough, Upon the lough,
(So still and wet)
And so they talk, And so they talk,
(We’ll get her yet)
So they talk, So they talk
Upon the lough, Upon the lough
Upon the lough, Upon the lough,
(A silhouette)
Upon the lough, Upon the lough,
(So still and wet)
And so they talk, And so they talk
(We’ll get her yet)
So they talk, So they talk
Upon the lough, Upon the lough,
Upon the lough, Upon the lough,
So they talk, So they talk
So they talk, So they talk
The trú was a mythological trio of poet-musicians in ancient Ulster. They were revered throughout Ireland, some believing
their songs and stories came to them from the future. Others maintained that the trú were possessed by spirits during performance. As such, they were considered gatekeepers to the Otherworld.

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance.
Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
