The hound of culann the hound of ulster

He is of the otherworld

His father is god lugh lamheada

His mother dectire is mortal.

Culann the smith was holding a feast

For the ard ri conchobhar

His mighty hound had been unleashed

To guard the fortress' mighty door.

Setanta arrived late at the gates

He did not know of culann's hound

The hound attacked and met its fate

It lay there dead upon the ground.

Culann was nagered when he learned

His favorite hound was no more

But setanta swore he'd stay at night

To guard the fortress' mighty door.

He took up arms on that day

Which cathbad declared auspicious

He who took up arms on that day

Would become famous but short lived.

His body begins to twist and turn

His flesh revolves within his skin

His features turn red one by one

And the slaying then begins.

He returned to eamhain macha

And threatened to destroy the town

The naked women were then brought forth

He then began to calm down

He fell in love with emer

Her father was appalled

"no warrior shall be with her

Unless by domhnall he is called".

He went to train with domhnall

And learned from him all that he could

You must go and train with scathach

He bowed his head and said he would.

Having learned the martial arts he

Returned to claim the hand of emer.

Her father he quickly refused

Cuchulainn showed his battle temper

He entered the fortress and left many

Of the warriors dead

Emer's father killed himself

The two lovers then were wed.

Cuchulainn the hound of culann x3

He is the son of a god.

Cuchulainn the hound of culann x3

Serpents and dragons he fought.

Cuchulainn solely defended ulster

During the mighty war and tain.

When medb of connaught invaded

He stood his ground despite the pain.

He is called a tragic hero'

With caladin his sword

He killed his best friend frediad

At the battle of the ford.

Cuchulainn the hound of culann x3

His is the son of a god

Cuchulainn the hound of culann x3

Serpents and dragons he fought.

In cuchulainns final fight

A javelin was thrown at him

It sliced his stomach like a knife

And caused his innards to fall out.

He staggered to a nearby lake

Where he took a final drink.

A raven who was drinking his blood

Tripped over his intestines.

The hero gave a last great laugh

And tied himself against a stone

He faced his enemies standing up

But he knew his life was quickly going.

For three days the foe were scared

Until a crow perched on his arm

An otter began to drink his blood

"cuchulainn is dead" is what they said.
