Maeve was a queen with a passion for war.
She had riches and wealth, but still wanted more.
She wanted the bull that dwelled in Cooley -

The men of Ulster would not concur.

until his old friend Ferdiad enters the fight.
Cuchulainn kills Ferdiad, with a slash of his sword.
He feels sad and angry and will fight no more.

He called to the warriors who were in disarray.

Their lines are broken, in disarray.
An accident happened and his head was cut off,
but continued to speak and choke and cough.
This spectacle brings Ulster out of its spell;
they go to Cuchulainn and Ulster fights well.
Maeve has been defeated and to Connaught he returns,
but there is a twist to this tale, a very strange turn.

Cruachan is a heavy metal band from Dublin, Ireland, active since the 1990s. Acclaimed as having "gone the greatest lengths of anyone in their attempts to expand" the genre of folk metal, the band is known for blending traditional Irish elements with heavy metal sounds. The band's name derives from the archaeological site of Rathcroghan in Ireland, also known as Cruachan. Their music features heavy riffs, folk melodies, and lyrics often dealing with historical and mythological Irish themes. Among their most representative songs are "The Serpent's Tongue", "The Battle of Clontarf" and "Tuatha Dé Danann". Cruachan has released numerous albums, including "Folk-Lore" (1998), "Midwinter Night's Dream" (2001) and "Blood on the Fields" (2004).
