Man of the Land Lyrics

Gurgi
Riders at sundown, five men at arms
Outlaws they called us, doing us harm
They stole the horse that Lord Gwydion gave
Melynlas, noble and brave

Taran
In all this quest what have I done so far
Losing my horse and a head full of scars
I must get her back or my plan will fail
Yet there’s still life to this tale

Aeddan
All my life with pride I’ve worked my land
Against all odds I’d stand, now fighting by your side
Follow me to where your wounds will heal
Despite the loss you feel there is no reason to grieve
In Cantrev Cadiffor no stranger shall be lost
You came to small comfort but let me be your host

Taran & Gurgi & Aeddan & The Spirit
Twice in two years the crops have failed
Hunger came to our door, our lives paled
My last field I plowed, grain by grain I sowed
With my own hands’ worth did I break the earth
Kings and guardians understand and bow to the man of the land

Aeddan
My father’s father a story told
That when he heard it already was old
Tools made by magic that worked by themselves
Now lie where the dark lord dwells

Taran
Arawn the lord of death keeps them away
Where the night is just as black as the day
Secrets of ancient now long lost in time
When Prydain was in her prime
Come the dawn we will repay your deeds
And with you toil the fields before we carry on

Gurgi
Our path leads on to seek the stolen horse
Taken from us by force, in blood and battle won

Aeddan
Should you seek welcome and a place to tend the fire
You’ve already found it, your hands will never tire

Gurgi
Morning sun, carry on, guide our way, far away

Taran
Hear it sing, whispering, don’t know when we’ll meet again

The Spirit
If only you did know what the mirror to you will show
If only you could see this quest is not what it seems to be
