Verse 1
AmSilver Moonlight Dances From The Mist Of Tegid’s Shore,
A AmLady Looks Upon Her Son, Like Many Times Before,
As She Fmaj7Touches His Face, Fingers G6Wet With Tears Falling. Am​
Her AmDaughter Stands Beside Her, The Fairest In The Land,
AmHow Her Son Became So Cursed She Cannot Understand,
But This Fmaj7Mother’s Love Is As G6Strong As Her Heart Is Beating,Am​
And She Fmaj7Calls To The Earth, And The G6Earth Hears Her Calling.Am​

Verse 2
AmHigh Up In The Mountains Dinas Afferaon Stands Tall,
All AmMagic And All Mysteries Are Held Within These Walls,
So She Fmaj7Walks To The Door: As She G6Does, The Door It Opens.Am​
AmTeach To Me The Mystery Of The Cauldron’s Brew,
Let AmUtter Darkness Give Way To Light And Be Reborn Anew,
Then The Fmaj7Awen Will Shine From The G6Brow Of The Eagle Of The AmSea,
And Fmaj7All Will Know His Name, From This G6Land To The People Of The AmSidhe.

Verse 3
The AmLady Sets The Cauldron’s Fire, Tended By The Hand
Of AmGwion Bach The Innocent, And Morda The Blind Man,
Who Fmaj7Reached Out His Hand: Place More G6Wood, Keep The Cauldron Boiling.Am​
Then AmMorda He Fell Asleep, Alas He Didn’t See,
AmWood Upon Wood Was Added, The Inferno Was The Key,
To UnFmaj7lock The Door Of The G6Awen’s Greatest Mystery.Am​
Three Fmaj7Drops, Burning Skin, And It’s G6Gwion Who Gained The Power To AmSee.

Interlude
(Spoken)
AmThe Cauldron Cracks, The Poison Creeps, Slowly Across The Land,
AmTo Kill The Horses Of Garanhir At The Lakeshore Where They Stand,
Fmaj7Drinking, Not Knowing Their Fate,
As A G6Hare Runs Fast Across The Land.Am​
AmCeridwen, Ceridwen, Lady Of The Cauldron, Come See What They Have Done!

Bridge
AmI Shall Be A Running Hare, With Sorrow And With Mickle Care,
(Then Fmaj7I Shall Be A Greyhound Bitch, And G6Tear You From Your Skin!)
Then AmI Shall Be A Flying Wren, The King Of Birds, The King Of Men,
(So Fmaj7I Shall Be A Falcon Grey, And G6Tear You From Your Skin!)
Then AmI Shall Be A Salmon Sleek, Darting Through A Shallow Creek,
(SoFmaj7 I Shall Be An Otter Bitch, And G6Wrest You From Your Skin!)
I Shall AmBe A Grain Beneath The Sun, And You Will Never Know Which One,
(Then Fmaj7I Shall Be A Great Black Hen, And G6Take You Deep Within!) Am​

Verse 4
Now AmYou May Be Forgiven To Think My Tale Is Over And Done,
But AmNine Moons Later She Gave Birth To A Son,
That She Fmaj7Wanted To Kill, But She G6Placed In A Coracle On The AmSea.
AmGaranhir’s Salmon Weir, A Catch Was Guaranteed,
But AmOn This Day A Baby Boy Cried Out To Be Freed,
A Fmaj7Radiant Brow, Shining G6Bright For All To Plainly AmSee.
TaliFmaj7esin Is Your Name, The Greatest G6Bard That This Land Will Ever AmSee!
