Forgotten, Never Be

On a winter's night bathed in starlight
We'll sing our wassail prayer
Some toast and good beer raised in good cheer
To apple and to pear
Our guns will inspire the fruit of desire
And ale we will share, ale we will share

And the snow is falling
Her cloak is laying all over the land
All over the land

On the first of May at the break of day
Summer is born
We'll dance a Morris tune with the setting of the moon
We will greet the dawn
The winter we dispel with the sound of Morris bells
So pass the drinking horn, pass the drinking horn

And the sun is rising
The Green Man growing all over the land
All over the land

As night it falls down on quiet county towns
It's hard to believe
Torches they are raised at the bonfire's blaze
This November eve
The Pope we defy as fire fills the sky
The prayers they decree, forgotten never be

And the fires are burning
The sky is blazing all over the land
All over the land
