Damh The Bard - Noon Of The Solstice

In times long past
Lived a Man of green
And his footsteps brought life wherever he'd been
In the deepest wildwood
Was the place he was seen
And the people did love
And protect him
And they saw his face change
With the turn of the Wheel
Of the Seasons
They heard his voice sing

(Chorus)
I'm the Horned God
I'm the face in the trees
I'm the breath of the wind that rustles the leaves
I'm the Green Man
In the wildwood I roam
Cernunnos, I'm Pan and I'm Herne
I shall be as the Dark Holly King
Darkness and cold
In my cloak I will bring
And on Winter's nights
To me you will sing
Till the air around me starts changing
And on the noon of the solstice
I'll give up my crown
To the Light
And the Mighty Oak King
All Summer long
I shall rule just and fair
Bring your crops to fruit
With the light that I share
With fire and water
From earth into air
But the Wheel it keeps
Steadily turning
And on the noon of the Solstice
I'll give up my crown
To the cold and the Dark Holly King
T'is now modern times
And the Summer is here
The Winter has gone
And the air it is clear
On a fine day I walked
Through a woods I live near
When a battle I spied
Through a clearing
Two giants of leaves
One light and one dark
Even now the Wheel it is turning!
