Sing to me a story of long ago Oh sing a tale of glory, a tale of woe Sing to me of secrets, whispered through time Sing to me from the lore of the land Bring good company to share in the tales Oh bring in barley wine, a drop of good ale We light a fire to vanquish the dark and cold As we sing from the lore of the land The legend were told and in memory were cast Whispers and secrets from England's dark past From mother to daughter from father to son The stories were handed and still they live on They speak to us now from the deep mists of time Stirring our blood and unlocking our minds The wisdom of ancients, occult and arcane The voice of our forefathers sounding again Oh! We're falling away, carried to worlds far beyond We're lost in the tales and held fast by the song To truly believe and to know what was meant Occult understanding from perfect intent To look within tales and to see ones own self Reflecting the journey of mankind itself Oh! We're falling away, carried to worlds far beyond We're lost in the tales and held fast by the song Down from the desolate highlands to the fortresses Of the South seas All across from East Anglian fenlands to the mists Swirling in the valleys Can you feel all the mystery and wonder That so many do not understand If we treasure our past then these legends will last We are blessed with the lore of the land Silent sentinels align the stars Archetypal journeys reveal who we are Known in times before and times that will come Shining heroes rise and fall with the sun Beneath the trees, a feeling The forest may hold a thousand tales Just a dream or maybe A vision of worlds beyond the veil How they deny that feeling Bury the past and loose the sight We see a deeper meaning Our vision is clear, our souls take flight! Down from the desolate highlands to the fortresses Of the South seas All across from East Anglian fenlands to the mists Swirling in the valleys Can you feel all the mystery and wonder That so many do not understand If we treasure our past then these legends will last We are blessed with the lore of the land Silent sentinels align the stars Archetypal journeys reveal who we are Known in times before and times that will come Shining heroes rise and fall with the sun We can know Take my hand Into the past we go!
