'Son of an immortal,
Immortal he shall be
Travelling to the other world
To live eternally...'

An exert from the song 'A Heroes Lament' by Irish Folk Metal originators Waylander. A song about our great hero Cú-Chulainn written way back in the early nineties chiefly by the O'Hagan brothers Ciaran and Dermot, the words can be accredited to Ciaran and the composition of the music to Dermot
This particular lyric has stuck with me since I was a young teenager, a very simple few lines that reveal both the fate and origins of the greatest warrior to have ever roamed the earth Cú-Chulainn - The Hound Of Ulster.

A voice in a million, the voice of a God!
