Death Of The Corn
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
through the marshes
and through the flitering glades
through the corn
and through the scything fields
the summer sun
she dances and rages
the summer sun
flies burning into the light
who will die for the death of the corn?
and who shall cry at the death of the corn?
rise rise rise
the sleeping giant awakes
he circles into circling
the wild wild hunt
dawn dies at dusk
and dolly banners are raised
for the death of the corn
they're sealed and shining
with the true love knot
and who will cry for the death of the corn?
and who shall lie at the death of the corn?
rise rise rise
shifting the shapes
that bleed the mountains
you tear apart my body
though the corn king dies
he dies has died
and dying still
he shall rise again
and sink back into earth
and who shall cry at the death of the corn?
and who shall lie at the death of the corn?
rise rise rise
rise rise rise
rise rise rise
the true love knot is found at the death of the corn
the true love knot is crowned at the death of the corn
the true love knot is found at the death of the corn
the true love knot is crowned in the death of the corn
the true love knot is found in the death of the corn
and the true love knot is found in the death of the corn
