Through the marshes
And through the filtering glades
Through the corn
And through the scything fields
The summer sun
Dances and rages
The summer sun
Flies burning into the light
And who shall die
At the d**h of the corn?
Rise, rise, rise
The sleeping giant awakes
He circles into circling
The wild Wild Hunt
Dawn dies at dusk
And Dolly banners are raised
For the d**h of the corn
They're sealed and shining
With the True Love Knot
And who shall lie
At the d**h of the corn?
Rise, rise, rise
Shifting the shapes
That bleed the mountains
You tear apart my body
The Corn King dies
Has died, he dies
And is dying still
He shall rise again
And sink back into earth
And who will cry
At the d**h of the corn?
Rise, rise, rise
And who will cry?
(The summer sun dances)
And who shall die?
(The summer sun dances)
The d**h of the corn
Rebirth and reborn
And the True Love Knot is found
In the d**h of the corn
And the True Love Knot is bound
In the d**h of the corn
And the True Love Knot is crowned
In the d**h of the corn
