Antlered Crown & Standing Stone
(Damh the Bard)
I am the face within the leaves,
I’m the voice within the trees,
I am boy, I am man,
The face of the changing land,
And I have been your constant guide,
From your caves on the mountainside,
We have walked hand in hand.
And everywhere that I have been,
My passing turns the grey to green,
The birds sing to the dawn,
And the land has awoken,
Oh my lady lays with me,
And our love weaves a tapestry,
Eternal threads, unbroken.
(Chorus)
I am lover, I am father,
I am Horned God and King,
I’m the life in all of nature,
That is reborn every Spring.
Call of stag and cry of eagle,
I am Child of Barleycorn,
And I am the antlered crown,
And standing stone.
I am the oats the corn and grain,
A bearded man with a crooked cane,
Cut me down, I must die,
For the land to be born again.
But don’t you cry and don’t you grieve,
For soon the Wild Hunt I will lead,
On the night of Samhain.
The air is cold, the sky is grey,
Where am I this Winter’s day,
Bones of trees, fallen leaves,
The time of the Winter Queen,
But through the wind and snow and rain,
Know that a part of me remains,
Holly stands, evergreen.
Great song Damh! Brilliant lyric and superb tune, lovely arrangement and tight harmonies – well up there with all your other great songs! Fantastic!
Awesome song
I would love to include it in our festival music line up 
Damh, I heard you perform this at the Fareham Moot, earlier this the year and I told you at the time it was another Pagan Anthem, it’s a wonderful song, thank you.
Another fantastic Pagan song. Look forward to the release of the album. Sure every song on it will become a favourite. Thank you Damh, your songs and music are so special to my life.
