Lyrics

Through the mists of time, to the land of old
To the heroes gone, the brave and the bold
In a time of myth, in a time long ago
In legend, he came, a great soul

A child of the gods, a soul true and strong
Only a youth, a boy in the throng
The gift of his strength, his fight against wrong
His deeds became legend and song

*Chorus
Oh and dreams of Setanta they come through the night
A hero of old unafraid of the fight
A man become legend, a hero of light
But only in dreams now Setanta

From his deeds as a child and the death of the hound
To the fearsome Red Branch, his men strong and proud
From the great dun bull, and the loves that he found
A man become myth chulain's hound

*Chorus

Heroes don't die, no they just fade away
His dimmed hero light like the sun's setting rays
The hero of Ulster, his hand cut away
His blood and his life gone that day

*Chorus

**Chorus Coda
