Old layers of time have buried the ways the others have grown And though sturdy and strong his eyes open wide with each new unknown And oh it's for the earth that he screams in the night He's a servant of the seasons and the morning's early light But the troubled one he says Rescue me he says rescue me On this mountain's the only place i can see clearly Rescue me he says rescue me On this mountain's the only place i can see clearly He says rescue me And see these guilty hands that envenom the soil and take the like from his fields But now these book reddened eyes have discovered the truth and what it conceals And so the plough it will turn and our hearts they will burn for sair works nae easy But oh this circle stone and this buzzard dyke and this great unknown it goes on and on into the distance of time And oh it's for the earth that he screams in the night We're servants of the seasons and the morning's early light But the troubled ones they say Rescue me they say rescue me On this mountain's the only place i can see clearly Rescue me they say rescue me On this mountain's the only place i can see clearly They say rescue me
