The Horslips - Charolais Lyrics
Her words were sharp, they cut him deep,In a war between the sheets.But when he brought his bull to herIt meant a woman making warBeyond the eiderdown.(Chorus)Charolais, charolais,We are come for you today.The Champions and the Seven Sons areCome to take away the Dunn!The druids read the smoke and sand;Told her that she would love again.The rhythms from the wolfskin drumsCalled men to war in hide and bronze.This goddess wore a crown.(Chorus)Charolais, charolais,We are come for you today.The Champions and the Seven Sons areCome to take away the Dunn!But the Fairy Child knew more;Saw the host stained red in war,Saw the hero-light around the headOf a dragon-boy just ripe for bed,Of wives and manly sons...(Chorus, chanted accopello)Charolais, charolais,We are come for you today.The Champions and the Seven Sons areCome to take away the Dunn!
