Battle Of The Trees Lyrics - Singles - Bottomley John

Oh woodsman oh woodsman can you spare that tree 

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
