Lyrics written by me: [VERSE 1] They came to steal a brown bull And woke a hound instead A queen rode out with iron pride And raised the war-host red She called the kings and raiders She filled the hills with spears And every road to Ulster Grew dark with marching fear [PRE-CHORUS] They came for horn and hide and pride They came to break a land [CHORUS] One against all With blade in hand When strong men fall One boy stands Let the red horns call Let the old shields fall When a whole land breaks One stands against all [VERSE 2] In Ulster’s halls the strong men Lay twisted under pain Their hands could not lift iron Their shields hung cold in shame The old kings clenched their fingers The young men clawed the floor While outside marched an army That darkened every door [PRE-CHORUS] But one was spared the breaking One stood when others crawled [CHORUS] One against all With blade in hand When strong men fall One boy stands Let the red horns call Let the old shields fall When a whole land breaks One stands against all [VERSE 3] He did not have a shield-wall No ranks behind his spear No thousand drums to answer No brother standing near He marked the roads and crossings Where war was forced to pass And made their chosen champions Fall bleeding through the grass [PRE-CHORUS] Not all at once, but one by one He taught the host to slow [CHORUS] One against all With blade in hand When strong men fall One boy stands Let the red horns call Let the old shields fall When a whole land breaks One stands against all [VERSE 4] By dawn the fields lay trampled By dusk the streams ran red Each night he bound his wounds alone Then stood among the dead The campfires spread for miles The banners hid the sky But every road toward Ulster Had to meet his eyes [PRE-CHORUS] A cattle raid became a war A boy became a wall [BRIDGE] No feast-song warmed his sleeping No healer held his hand Only cold stars watched him bleed For one unguarded land The army cursed his shadow The queen grew slow to smile For every step they took ahead He bought another mile [FINAL CHORUS] One against all With blade in hand When strong men fell One boy stands Let the red horns call Let the old shields fall When a whole land broke One stood against all One against all One road denied One young spear standing Where the old strength died They came for the bull They came for the land They found a wall of iron With one blade in hand #cuchulainn #irishmythology #fantasymusic #bardsong #epicmusic #celticmythology #stentheoldbard #mythology
