John Bottomley - Battle Of The Trees lyrics

Thunderbolt flashin' through the trees

Spirit on the lotus by the green oak door of Hercules

Roebuck in the thicket where the branches braided

In the depths of the forest where the track had faded

Blood and hunger in the blackthorn winter

A rainbow child throwing puppets in the river

A mares nest where the victims cry

I nearly died

Shining tear of the sun

With the horses speed we'll break new ground

Starry wheel castle spin

Trumpets blowing at the back of the north wind

Gleeman freeze by the spiral stairs

Chosen one on the poet's chair

A dark night with the prince of the air

The hunted running scared

Sacred cow and the hive of the bee

Rowan berry lips sister of the green

A shimmering white light will arouse

By obedience to the wishes of the lady of the house

Saints revel by the sheltered creek

Haunted men battle for the trees

Under the land of the summer stars

Lala lira la
