Lyrics
**Verse 1:**
In Ireland’s heart, where tales begin,
Rose a warrior, destined to win.
Once Sétanta, fierce and unbowed,
Destiny's call, clear and loud.
**Chorus:**
For in the heartbeat of the land's song,
Cú hulan’s legend, it belongs.
Through time’s passage, and echoing dawns,
His spirit in Ireland forever dawns.
**Verse 2:**
Under Scáthach's tutelage so wise,
Mastered the arts, touched the skies.
Emer's love, like a beacon did glow,
Through trials and time, love did show.
**Chorus:**
For in the heartbeat of the land's song,
Cú hulan’s legend, it belongs.
Through verdant hills and whispered lore,
His name on the wind, forevermore.
**Verse 3:**
In Cooley's dance, he stood so tall,
Defending Ulster, giving his all.
Yet every hero finds twilight's door,
His spirit, in Ireland, forevermore.
**Bridge:** *(Suggest shifting to a relative major/minor key for contrast)*
Bound to a pillar, as shadows drew near,
Held his ground, showing no fear.
For though his frame in silence lay,
His legacy never fades away.
**Chorus:**
For in the heartbeat of the land's song,
Cú hulan’s legend, it belongs.
Through time’s passage, and echoing dawns,
His spirit in Ireland forever dawns.
**Outro:**
Ireland's son, fierce and divine,
In history's tapestry, forever will shine.
For in the heartbeat of the land's song,
Cú hulan’s legend forever dawns.
