- Concept -
The Fomorians remained in human guise in the Otherworld called "Mag Mell" ("plain of joy"), unaware of the druid's spell that had put them there. This Otherworld was a place where sickness and death did not exist, a place of eternal youth and beauty. Here, music, strength, life and all pleasurable pursuits came together and happiness lasted forever. But slowly, the evil essence contained in the book started trying to find ways to escape its prison...
In the meantime, hundreds of years passed.
The "Fir Bolg", a new wave of settlers, arrived in Erin. Without the Fomorian presence, they lived on Erin in peace for many years. But then the "Tuatha De Danann", descendants of the thirty surviving Nemedians, returned to claim the Island.
After the Fir Bolg were defeated at the first battle of Moytirra, the Tuatha De Danann divided Erin amongst themselves...

- Lyrics -
Their ancient souls have fought in vain
Now death and glory lead their way
The bloody plain of pillars crossed
To the west they will set sail
Forever young and strong,
Forever free from earthly law,
Without grief and sorrow,
In Mag Mell they´ll remain
The demons within are now without
With roars of triumph they move out
Into the realm of eternal bliss
To the otherworld where they shall live
Their evil ways will wither and decay
Vanished from memory, without a trace
Without sorrow nor pain,
To "Tobar Segais"
Yet where the stream of knowledge flows
A sixth salmon will swim forth
No longer will they live a lie
Their human guise will fade, fade and die
Forever young and strong,
Forever free from earthly law,
Without grief and sorrow,
In Mag Mell they´ll remain
