Father Sky
The old man he came, along with the rains
Through summer and winter they fell
And with did he bring serpents and things
Uttered a verse and a spell
The children did plea for stories and dreams
Conjured in mystical light
The old man obliged, the mountain they climbed
To tell magic tales in the night
And the children to the harp, were singing in the dark
While the moon shone through the rain to light their souls again
Carved into trees, runes they did read
One with the legend and the lore
The old man did pipe his flute every night
For children be happy and free evermore
And the children to the harp, were dancing in the dark
While the moon shone through the flame to light their souls again
The village men came, the old man they blamed
As floods came and swept 'cross the land
By the words their God spoke, hung the man by a rope
And the children were never children again
Through summer and winter they fell
And with did he bring serpents and things
Uttered a verse and a spell
The children did plea for stories and dreams
Conjured in mystical light
The old man obliged, the mountain they climbed
To tell magic tales in the night
And the children to the harp, were singing in the dark
While the moon shone through the rain to light their souls again
Carved into trees, runes they did read
One with the legend and the lore
The old man did pipe his flute every night
For children be happy and free evermore
And the children to the harp, were dancing in the dark
While the moon shone through the flame to light their souls again
The village men came, the old man they blamed
As floods came and swept 'cross the land
By the words their God spoke, hung the man by a rope
And the children were never children again
