Battle Of Trees Lyrics - Night Of The Hunters - Tori Amos

Our language of love 

The Battle of Trees 

We fought side by side 

No one had more 

Sharper consonants than you, love 

And my vowels, well, were trusted 

First comes the Birch 

Rowan followed by the Ash 

Then through the Alder she forms 

And merges with Willow 

The Hawthorne blossoms 

As the Oak guards the door 

She is the hinge on which the year swings 

He courts the lightning flash and her

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Summoning the spirits 

Through incantations 

You said the Thunder God seems to have 

And our enemies are the Reed 

But we knew the Furies held the Holly sacred 

We were insulated 

In a circle of words we'd drawn 

With wisdom sent from nine Hazels 

A Rowan fire and a Willow rod 

At ten comes the vine 

That generates bramble wine 

The constant change of the night sun 

A song in the blood of the white bull 

Our language of love 

The Battle of Trees 

We fought side by side 

No one had more 

Sharper consonants than you, love 

And my vowels, well, were trusted 

From Ivy leaves is an ale that can unveil 

The hidden meanings and serpents 

Only revealed through visions 

Yes vowels could insert 

"A" was for the Silver Fir 

The Firs of course 

Then came next 

With Heather at her most 

Passionate 

The White Poplar's gift to the souls of the dead 

A promise that it was not the end 

But for the vine the "U", it's coffer 

Vowels and consonants 

The power of trees 

The power they hold 

The power of prose 

So when the church 

Began to twist the old myths 

They built their own Tower of Babel 

From Ulster to Munster 

The Reed gave way then 

To the Elder 

The Earth turns her will 

So that night follows day 

From dawn to dawn 

Fom Winter to Winter 

At day the Ash had power over the Alder 

Our language of love 

The Battle of Trees 

We fought side by side 

Then he said to me: 

"I've dodged bullets and even poisoned arrows 

Only to be foiled by the blade of a vowel"
