A Hero`s Lament Lyrics

A Hero`s Lament lyrics

As the dark clouds they do gather I sing my last lament For the ravens they do
gather My strength is almost spent My life force it dispreses My blood lies in
the sand The darkness is close at hand  Gaf Roi Ga my companion I have put my
trust in thee But the darkness of the grave Claims us all, eventually I bid
farewell to my loved ones They and my kinsmen, please remember me  Through
sacred lugh, my father My name will never die The deeds I have achieved Insures
my name amongst my brother Throughout the sacred green of Eireann My name will
echo in the valleys  Cu Chulainn Hound of Ulster Cu Chulainn Bane of Medhabh Cu
Chulainn Hound of Ulster Cu Chulainn Champion of men  Son of an immortal
Immortal he shall be Journey to the otherworld To live eternally  From Emain
Macha To Tara's hall Your name will live as legend And to your memory I give a
toast Dwell with the fairy host  A farewell to a hero Your motal days are gone
Your soul now doth fly As free as the sun
