Damh The Bard - Lughnasadh lyrics

Feel me sleep beneath your feet While the year is waning, And all about you the bare fingers plead And reach towards the sky, A crown of thorns about my head, When the dark is rising, And from the shadows walks a God, a seed, A hope for brand new life. Can you hear the Spirits of the Earth can you? Can you hear the Spirits of the Earth can you? Can you hear the Spirits of the Earth? Can you hear them call, can you hear them sing? Lughnasadh! Is the life and the d**h of the Corn King, Life and rebirth of the Corn King! Lughnasadh! Is the life and the d**h of the Corn King, Life and rebirth of the Corn King! I turn my green face to the Sun, As the year is waxing, And all about animals call my name In forest and in sky. My horns of velvet reflect the Moon, Silver wheel of my Lady, She comes towards me as the May reveals Her White and virgin skin. I turn my gold face to the Sun As the year is waning, The time has come now for my life to end As metal rubs on stone, She comes towards me across the fields, Chariot's wheels a-blazing, Her hair on fire, cut me crush me, bake me, Eat me, I am yours.
