“Míol Mór Mara' means sea whales, the literal translation from Irish to English is ‘giant beasts of the sea’. The song is about a kid with down syndrome I worked with.

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
'We gotta walk onto the water now'
We gotta be machines of loving grace
We're gonna wade into the siren seas
We're gonna turn into the whitest
Whales
‘We gotta walk onto the water now'
Ya gotta stand up to the sirens howl
We're gonna hold on till the end, my friend
We're gonna turn into whitest whales
Oh my soul Flays my tongue
Hail my Herod
Kill my son
Leave my home
Bleed my father
Leave my home
The land of sorrow
And I will send the sirens to the oceans of their blood
She was tearing me apart
She was tearing me apart
[Chorus]
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
[Verse 2]
We gotta walk onto the water now
We gotta drive the shadows through the dark
We gotta dive into the silhouette
We're gonna leave our bodies with the surf
We gotta walk onto the water now
We're gonna kill the boys and run away
We're gonna part the sea like Nazarenes
We're gonna turn into the whitest whales
Oh my soul Flays my tongue
Hail my Herod
Kill my son
Leave my home
Bleed my father
Leave my home
The land of sorrow
And I will send the sirens to the oceans of their blood
She was tearing me apart
She was tearing me apart
[Chorus]
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mor
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
You were the Míol Mór in my heart
