Of Torque And Antlers

The wheel has turned, he is reborn
So let the circle never end
Gives strength to seed and harvest corn
And leads us in our Pagan dance
Let us dance!

Snow has covered the land, whilst the forest is sleeping
Mother Nature resides as haggard crone
Soon comes the time of my renewal
To claim once more the wildwoods throne

By the first rays of light my horn is calling
Beasts and denizens of the wild
My amber eyes open to watch thee
Dance on my glades, sweet Pagan Child

Refrain:
I am the Lord of the Forest
Cernunnos is my name

By the groves, deep in the ancient woods
He builds his oaken throne
Lay down my head in times of winter's frost
In spring I'll be reborn

Watch me holding the torque, for it shall bind you
Let the circle never end
Heave in sensual joy, feel the spirit of nature
Across my green and pleasant land

In the blue, endless sky, proudly I raise my antlers
And sound a call of carnal desire
Oh, Maiden of Spring, lay down here before me
And praise me by the Beltane Fire

I am the Lord of the Forest
Cernunnos is my name
I am the Lord of the Forest
The stag roams wild and free

For he's the One who wears the antlers
He shall reign forevermore
By the gleam of burning embers
Still witches preach the ancient lore

Keep in your heart the ancient fire
Children of nature mind your birth
Release your chains, cast down your idols
Come back from Heaven down to Earth

I am the Lord of the Forest
The stag roams wild and free

I lead the hunt, I pipe the dancers
'Til the sun begins to wane
By the sign of Torque and Antlers
Paganity will rise again!
