lyrics

Amassed stands the horde of Medb.
Laeg and Liath Macha gone.
Ravens cry echoes my rage.
With death giving it rest.
Back upon the lone Menhir,
To war alone as foretold.
Once more the Ristrad calls,
A warrior to my last breath.

When I die, I will face it standing.
Chains around me, spear in hand.
One to one hundred, foes surround me.
Fall before Riastrad.

Prepare to face the hound of Culann.
I will be the last to die.
No geas binds me now.

The final dawn is approaching.
Gae bolg still thirsts for more.
The final act begins here.
Lugh cannot heal me now.
Thousands fall as blood pours forth.
As life fades my head's held high.
Hero's light burn s around me.
My sword falls for one last blow.

When I die, I will face it standing.
Chains around me, spear in hand.
One to one hundred, foes surround me
Cú Chulainn's Iast stand.

Prepare to face the hound of Culann.
I will be the last to die.
No geas binds me now.

Hound of UIster
Cú Chulainn
Last son of Lugh
Cú Chulainn's

When I die, I will face it standing.
Chains around me, spear in hand.
One to one hundred, foes surround me
Cú Chulainn's Iast stand.

Prepare to face the hound of Culann.
I will be the last to die.
No geas binds me now.
