Damh the Bard - Antlered Crown and Standing Stone Lyrics
Verse 1I am the face within the leaves,I am the voice within the trees,I am boy, I am man,The face of the changing land,And I have been your constant guide,From your caves on the mountainside,We have walked hand in hand.Verse 2Everywhere that I have been,My passing turns the grey to green,The birds sing to the dawn,And the land has awoken.Now my Lady lays with me,Our love weaves its tapestry,Eternal threads, unbroken.ChorusI am lover, I am father,I am Horned God and King,I’m the life in all of Nature,That is reborn every Spring,Call of stag and cry of eagle,I am Child of Barleycorn,And I am the Antlered Crown and Standing Stone!Verse 3I am the oats, the corn and grain,A bearded man with a crooked cane,Cut me down, I must die,For the land to be born again,But don’t you cry and don’t you grieve,For soon the Wild Hunt I will lead,On the night of Samhain.Verse 4The air is cold,The sky is grey,Where am I this Winter’s day,Bones of trees, fallen leaves,The time of the Winter Queen,But through the wind and snow and rain,Know a part of me remains,The Holly stands, evergreen.
