Your rating:
Gather brawn chairs of hazel Oak Ash and Thor Tie them with a green willow Blessed by a crown of horns The cornhead lays before us Falls down to the side Weave him with thanksgiving Place the corndawl inside Give thanks to her mother And the green man of the spring Thank the goddess of harvest Thanks to the fallen king The three men from the west Their fortunes for to try And they did all agree John balley corn must Oh wickerman Oh wickerman Like a mighty god you stand You are guardian of our land Take our prayers oh wickerman Oh wickerman Oh wickerman Like a mighty god you stand You are gaurdian of our land Take our prayers oh wickerman What starts with the smallest embers Is fed like blood through veins Kissed with a flaming arrow Arroused into towering flame Give our prayers of thanksgiving To life and john balley corn Death is a new beginning Whats dies shall be reborn Oh wickerman Oh wickerman Like a mighty god you stand You are gaurdian of the land Take our prayers oh wickerman Oh wickerman Oh wickerman Like a mighty god you stand You are gaurdian of the land Take our prayers oh wickerman Can you hear the chanting To the sound of pagan drums Hear our voices singing The sacrafice begun The flames they will devour him See him bow his head Then we will jump the fires burning The wickerman is dead And we shall have our bread Oh wickerman Oh wickerman Like a mighty god you stand You are gaurdian of our land Take our prayers wickerman Oh wickerman Oh wickerman Like a mighty god you stand You are gaurdian of our land Take our prayers wickerman Oh wickerman Oh wickerman Like a mighty god you stand You are gaurdian of our land Take our prayers wickerman Oh wickerman Oh wickerman Like a mighty god you stand You are gaurdian of our land Take our prayers oh wickerman The wickerman! The old gods!
