Ferdia`s Song  Gae Bolga Lyrics

A reprise of the introduction as Cu Chulainn tries to frighten off his 

 friend Ferdia from a battle he knows will end in his death.

 Gae Bolga is the name of Cu Chulainn's supernatural spear.

 

 "Everthing I say" Cuchulainn cried,

   "Is larger far than life itself".

 But Ferdia just grinned and shook his

      golden hair.

 

 "And everything I do is ringed about

   With fantasy". But Ferdia just laughed

 And shook his silver spear and fell to

      battle again.

 

 "Every step I take" Cuchulainn cried,

  "is measured out in centuries".

 But Ferdia just laughed and shook his

   golden mane.

 

 "And now I must make my stand; for

     your death 

   Is my destiny".  But Ferdia just laughed

 And shook his silver spear and fell to

      battle again.
