lyrics

The Battle Of The Trees
===================

Over the sea & from the sunken land
Came the people of Danaan
Into a dark realm of shadows
Bringing the light of knowledge & magic

And the sea, the sea was a torrent of dreams
With the ships, the ships devoured whole
And the gods, the gods descend to Earth in the fire
Lit the sky, lit the sky with their might

On the field of Goddeu Brig
Assembled the trees in their ranks
Fighting for the freedom of the land
Fighting for the wisdom of man eternal

And the sea, the sea was a torrent of dreams
With the ships, the ships devoured whole
And the gods, the gods descend to Earth in the fire
Lit the sky, lit the sky with their might
So they rode, so they rode away into the fields
Far away, far away from the night
And they'll sleep, and they'll sleep 'till the morning will come
To arise, to arise and take up flight

Through the sky I'm awaiting the answer
From the Isle of Skye, the dawn of my youth
I will come as a stranger to the gates of Ochran
Return to the earth, return to the fire
Return to my birth, return to Eire
Return to the earth, return to the fire
Return to my birth, return to Eire
