Damh the Bard
"Spirit of Albion"
I love this song ^_^
----------------------
Am G Am
An isle so fair, a isle so green, known by many names.
Am
Feel the pulse, the pulse of the land,
G Am
Blood boils within your veins.
D Am
Someone go down to the Holy Well and raise the Spirits there!
D G
Lay a feather on a stone, with a flame, and a lock of hair.
Chorus:
Am
The Crane, the wolf, the bear and the boar,
C
No longer dwell upon these shores,
D
You say that the Goddess and God have gone,
G
Well I tell you they live on!
Am
For in the cities and hills,
C
And in circles of stone,
D
The voices of the Old Ways,
G Am
The Spirit of Albion is calling you home!
Am
From Manwydden's crashing sea,
G Am
To the moor and the Highland Glen.
Am
From the Faerie Hills, home of the Sidhe,
G Am
To the veins of the Broad and the Fen.
D
Someone go down to the Holy Trees
Am
of Oak and Ash and Thorn!
D
Utter a charm in the verse of three,
G
Till the Summer King is born!
------Chorus------
Am
Ride the white horses carved into the hills,
G Am
Walk to the Hanging Stones.
Am
Bow to the might of Cerne Abbass' height,
G Am
Feel the peace in the Ancestors' homes.
D
Someone go down to Wilmington
Am
where the Giant guards the way!
D
Step into the Otherworld, into the womb,
G
Where centuries pass like a day!
------Chorus------
