Verse 1
EmSilver Moonlight Dances From The Mist Of Tegid’s Shore,
A EmLady Looks Upon Her Son, Like Many Times Before,
As She Cmaj7Touches His Face, Fingers D6Wet With Tears Falling. Em​
Her EmDaughter Stands Beside Her, The Fairest In The Land,
EmHow Her Son Became So Cursed She Cannot Understand,
But This Cmaj7Mother’s Love Is As D6Strong As Her Heart Is Beating,Em​
And She Cmaj7Calls To The Earth, And The D6Earth Hears Her Calling.Em​

Verse 2

All EmMagic And All Mysteries Are Held Within These Walls,
So She Cmaj7Walks To The Door: As She D6Does, The Door It Opens.Em​
EmTeach To Me The Mystery Of The Cauldron’s Brew,
Let EmUtter Darkness Give Way To Light And Be Reborn Anew,
Then The Cmaj7Awen Will Shine From The D6Brow Of The Eagle Of The EmSea,
And Cmaj7All Will Know His Name, From This D6Land To The People Of The EmSidhe.

Verse 3
The EmLady Sets The Cauldron’s Fire, Tended By The Hand
Of EmGwion Bach The Innocent, And Morda The Blind Man,
Who Cmaj7Reached Out His Hand: Place More D6Wood, Keep The Cauldron Boiling.Em​
Then EmMorda He Fell Asleep, Alas He Didn’t See,
EmWood Upon Wood Was Added, The Inferno Was The Key,
To UnCmaj7lock The Door Of The D6Awen’s Greatest Mystery.Em​
Three Cmaj7Drops, Burning Skin, And It’s D6Gwion Who Gained The Power To EmSee.

Interlude
(Spoken)
EmThe Cauldron Cracks, The Poison Creeps, Slowly Across The Land,
EmTo Kill The Horses Of Garanhir At The Lakeshore Where They Stand,
Cmaj7Drinking, Not Knowing Their Fate,
As A D6Hare Runs Fast Across The Land.Em​
EmCeridwen, Ceridwen, Lady Of The Cauldron, Come See What They Have Done!

Bridge
EmI Shall Be A Running Hare, With Sorrow And With Mickle Care,

Then EmI Shall Be A Flying Wren, The King Of Birds, The King Of Men,
(So Cmaj7I Shall Be A Falcon Grey, And D6Tear You From Your Skin!)
Then EmI Shall Be A Salmon Sleek, Darting Through A Shallow Creek,
(SoCmaj7 I Shall Be An Otter Bitch, And D6Wrest You From Your Skin!)
I Shall EmBe A Grain Beneath The Sun, And You Will Never Know Which One,
(Then Cmaj7I Shall Be A Great Black Hen, And D6Take You Deep Within!) Em​

Verse 4
Now EmYou May Be Forgiven To Think My Tale Is Over And Done,
But EmNine Moons Later She Gave Birth To A Son,
That She Cmaj7Wanted To Kill, But She D6Placed In A Coracle On The EmSea.
EmGaranhir’s Salmon Weir, A Catch Was Guaranteed,
But EmOn This Day A Baby Boy Cried Out To Be Freed,
A Cmaj7Radiant Brow, Shining D6Bright For All To Plainly EmSee.
TaliCmaj7esin Is Your Name, The Greatest D6Bard That This Land Will Ever EmSee!
