The Lore of the Land Lyrics

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
