Il Cornuto

IL CORNUTO

The horned king stands tall
I am the hunter
I am the hunt
I am the hunted
I am nothing
I am all
I am everything you ever wanted

I am forest
I am green
I am all that is
And all that has been
I am all that is to come
I am present past and future
I am one

Standing proud in light and shade
Standing proud in forest glade
The horned king smiles and cries
The horned king never lives, never dies
Aeons pass and time stands still
The horned king is pure will

I am the walker
I am the way
I am coldest midnight
And scorching midday
I am the dancer
I am the dance
I am your first and only chance

Standing proud in day and light
Standing proud in moon and night
The horned king is both many and one
The horned kings magic is always done
Horned kings eyes are closed yet see
Horned king smiles on you and me.

lament

LAMENT

There was a silhouette in starlight
Despairing lover crying to the night
The night, cold uncaring, listens not
The stars they see his pain is all he’s got

Oh lover, you who lament
I hear your sad cries
I alone listen in the dark’ned skies
For I too have loved and my love was scorned
Let you future lovers take heed, be warned

Love listens not to who cares who tries,
Love listens only to the fiery eyes
Love lives both in the wind and the rain
Tis love that is cause of all of my pain
Love is most there in the sea and the sand
Love is the master of all of the land
Love exists high in the mountains above
Tis true all our problems come down to love.

the strange lady of the hills

The strange lady of the hills

up there on the mount where she dwells
up there with her dogs, her love
the wind
the wind howls

she hears it howl
it fills her
it carries her
she dances on it

round, round she spins
dancing wind
howling wind
howling dogs
dance with her

bracken hair
raven eyes
sunken cheeks
she smiles
howling with the wind

Three letters

Three letters

Maybe in Arabic
Carved in stone
Written in rock
Multiplying, intensifying, amazing
Out of here

If I were to tell you that
in another place
in another time
we are lovers
together, together, together

Feed the fire

Feed the fire

Burn, burn, burn
Burn brightly brother, burn brightly
Feed the fire
What will you be?
Twig,? Leaf? Log? A whole tree?

Dancing flames
Burning life
There is much to burn, so much to burn
Dancing flames, treat him well
May he rest under your spell
May he journey by your side
May he always walk with pride

Grandfather fire
There from the start
You guide us and burn in our heart
