Cu Chulainn's Lament Lyrics
You felt the chill of midnight ice
As I broke your heart in two.
And I felt the kiss of emptiness
As I watched your life turn blue.
Life was a game.
Now I miss your name;
Your golden hair.
No more in your eyes is the blue
of skies -
Only shame.
A lonely soul, betrayed by love,
You walked into the stream.
With tears of love upon my cheeks
I heard your final scream
As I broke your heart in two.
And I felt the kiss of emptiness
As I watched your life turn blue.
Life was a game.
Now I miss your name;
Your golden hair.
No more in your eyes is the blue
of skies -
Only shame.
A lonely soul, betrayed by love,
You walked into the stream.
With tears of love upon my cheeks
I heard your final scream

This is from The Tain which is the Horslips album about the old Irish legend of the same name. Basically a Bull Raid. Here CuChulainn is lamenting for Ferdia, his best friend and foster-brother, who he has just killed at a ford whilst holding back Maeve's army in single combat.
