Balor's Song

by Rob Henderson
This version was first performed at the Fool's Ritual, SLG Lughnasadh 1999

I need a new eye, 'cause I got none
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won

It's up in the sky as the hot sun
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won

The seers told me that I'd be killed
By my own grandson
And so I locked my daughter away
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won

I thought Eithne couldn't have a son
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won

But Cian snuck in, and they had fun
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won

I threw her babies into the sea
And two of them drowned, but one
Was rescued by Manannan mac Lir
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won

And to Mag Tured we had both come
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won

I challenged him, but he would not run
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won

He stuck his spear into my eye
And so my life is done
And he is now the king of the land
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won
I fought the Lugh, and the Lugh won
