Awakening the Forest

There was a lady of Bricket Wood Coven She held a secret, clandestine with devotion There was a lady, the High Priestess they call her The Book of Shadows rewritten with conviction There was a lady of Bricket Wood Coven Her beauty runs deep in the stories she has woven There was a lady, the High Priestess they call her She found her own way in the Land of Hope and Glory Invoke the spirit of the Goddess Speak through me, let's call the moon together The web of stars that holds the night together Illuminate the balance of the wheel There was a lady of Bricket Wood Coven Lived long and steadfast on the path that she had chosen There was a lady, the High Priestess they call her She's left the world now, but her legacy still lives on

They have come from the Earth where the dead do rest Rising from the undergrowth, watching over your sweet eternal sleep Thousands of years have passed by, reaching for the sky The silence of a cycle, keeping secrets from a forgotten time Sitting on a mossy stone Carving hearts into the bone in the shadow of the elders The heavy bough will see you though The beauty of the old world Yew It will protect you They'll be your killer, and be your lifeline too Destroyer and protector, the solemn giant will stand alone in time Their twisted grandeur will open the divide, and guide your resurrection Communicating with hallowed ancestors

I call and I listen to the resonance of his soul It clouds my clear vision of the waning moon of Gaia Dawn fades and I follow The winding of heathen horns Should I fill with sorrow? As the forest wakes from it's sleep Awakening the forest before my time here comes to an end For I want to see this beauty before my mind's eye does transcend He stands in the clearing His fur still sodden with dew My time's dispappearing Soon I'll meet with those I have loved

Leader of the wild hunt, favorite of the King Keeper of the ancient park and all it's living things Then one day a tragedy brought him to his knees But alchemy was passing by, and saved him in the breeze Keeper of the ancient Park, keeper of the ancient park A carved stone like animal bone was found where the hunter lay A man's face with antlered grace did succumb to decay His frightful horn and wooden bow was not enough for him He found solace in age old Oak, hanging from his deep red cloak Hanging from his deep red cloak The twisted wood of the winter tree The triple moon shines down on me Reflections cast tells of tales past Oh that winter tree

Climb up the hill and let my beating heart be still Touch the wood of the Oak tree and feel it's spirit enter me With the guidance of the moon, I make my way into the room Of the lonely cottage there, I join the circle and prepare Berry Wood is still as I make my way downhill The silence disappears as the incantation rears I feel the scourge upon me now in the shade of the Oak tree In this witching hour yeah, the New Forest it feels our power The scourge and the kiss I look at my Priestess Her black velvet cloak Falls to the ground The ritual is cast around Listen to the secrets of the English autumn rain As it soaks into the ground and it wakes me from my dream May I know the mysteries of my endless time on Earth As I travel through the sphere, yes it's beautiful in here Bridge Silhouetted in white Stands the lady of the green glade A lost sound, engulfs me Like chimes ringing through the deep mist

Trodden is the earth around the base I have wandered in the gloom among the sprits there May I be given freedom in the end As I rest upon the mound, such beauty I hae found Trodden is the earth around the base I have wandered in the gloom among the sprits there May I be given freedom in the end Be given freedom in the end Searching for the spark within humanity To revive the dying earth and save us from ourselves When I walk upon earth's flesh and bone once more I will look up to the sun, the battle's almost won
