Saint Brendan of Clonfert or Bréanainn of Clonfert (c. 484 – c. 577) (Irish: Naomh Breandán; Icelandic: Brandanus) called "the Navigator", "the Voyager", or "the Bold" is one of the early Irish monastic saints. He is chiefly renowned for his legendary quest to the "Isle of the Blessed," also called St Brendan's Island. The Voyage of St Brendan could be called an immram (Irish navigational story). He was one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland.
Saint Brendan's feast day is celebrated on 16 May by Catholics, Anglicans, and Eastern Orthodox Christians.
In 484 Saint Brendan was born in Ciarraighe Luachra near the port of Tralee, in County Kerry, in the province of Munster, in the south-west of Ireland. He was baptised at Tubrid, near Ardfert, by Saint Erc. For five years he was educated under Saint Ita, "the Brigid of Munster", and he completed his studies under Saint Erc, who ordained him priest in 512. Between the years 512 and 530 St Brendan built monastic cells at Ardfert, and, at the foot of Mount Brandon, Shanakeel— Seana Cill, usually translated as "the old church"— also called Baalynevinoorach.

Genres: Comedy, Family,There was a man who was cursed by the gods
To walk this land forevermore
Never to rest never to find peace
Trapped in this world for an endless journey
Offering his sword to the highest bidder
Fighting for whoever pays the most
No fear in his eyes, he knows he can't die
Taking a life is as easy as breathing
Yet another war to fight
He doesn't feel a thing
He has seen this a thousand times before
His mind is numb
What could a man have done
To so awaken the wrath of the gods?
Never to rest never to find peace
Trapped in this world for an endless journey
Can there be a fate more horrid
Than the curse of immortal life?
Still he wanders the grounds of this dark realm
Never finding a place to call home
Yet another war to fight
He doesn't feel a thing
He has seen this a thousand times before.
His mind is numb
He stands under a crimson sky
Alone as centuries pass by
Offering his sword to the highest bidder
Fighting for whoever pays the most
No fear in his eyes, he knows he can't die
Taking a life is as easy as breathing
There was a time when he picked the wrong side
There was a time when the war was lost
The entire army was crushed down to nothing
Only one man rose from the ashes
He didn't feel a thing
His mind is numb
Imagine a life where no one can stay by your side
What it's like to watch countless of your own children die
He is nothing but an empty shell
Will he ever get to embrace death?
In the shadows he's dwelled for thousands of years
Seen nothing but death
Only when the sun sets for the last time
