I am the face within the leaves,

I am 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.

Everywhere that I have been,

My passing turns the grey to green,

The birds sing to the dawn,

And the land has awoken.

Now my Lady lays with me,

Our love weaves its tapestry,

Eternal threads, unbroken.

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 a part of me remains,

The Holly stands, evergreen.

This song reminds me of my Christian grandmother when she'd take me to church and would look down and say no matter what you belive in hold strong to it and don't let them put you down for we all are good people and all want the same thing "my God watches me as your gods and goddess watch you"

I'm not a pagan, but I like his music a lot. He's got a great, distinctive voice and the lyrics give me something to think about.

This is flat-out one of the most amazing voices in modern paganism. Lyrically astute, haunting and empowering all at once, tinged with gentle wisdom. Damn the Bard is the best singer/songwriter in this style since Ian Anderson. Thanks for posting this masterpiece.

I cant understand why he isn't any more popular than what he is. His music is amazing and full of emotion.

First time i heard this, i burst into tears. it still gets me this way. We use it for the Beltane Pole dancing, and I listen at other times, too. Still makes me cry - in a happy way! Blessed Samhain, all!

Depends on which lore you subscribe to. For my group, the Wild Hunt occurs on Samhain when it is time to gather souls.

I thought the Hunt was on Imbolc? According to Doreen Valiente?
