Faster Than The Hound Lyrics

MacRoth is Maeve's messanger.  In this song he reflects on the events of 

the Tain.



I once told her

   Where she could find her dream.

And I still adore her,

  No matter how it seems.

I saw our stars fall,

  Crash without a sound.

Stars go crashing

  Faster than the Hound. 



I saw him sleeping

  Alone beneath the sky.

I caught him weeping,

  And I, for one, knew why.

I saw the ravens,

  Black without a sound.

Ravens swirling

  Faster than the Hound.



I travel Ireland in a day.

  You just nod, I'm on my way.

I've golden wings upon my feet.

  I seldom touch the ground.

The only thing I'm not

  Is faster than the Hound.



Now I watch her leaving

  With the light of people's dreams,

Ignorant of rainbows

  In the trees where we have been.

Also there are ravens

  High above the ground.

Ravens growing closer

  Faster than the Hound
