Unconquered Sun
Lyricist:Kemp Rick, Knight Peter (gb 2), Nicol Kenneth, Prior Maddy
With solstice here we'll celebrate This sacred time and have much cheer We will bring warmth, we will bring light Into the darkest time of year
The mistletoe will be cut down With sickle from the sacred tree A kiss I'll give to you my love A pledge of friendship made to thee
For greater than the will of man Or want of that which can be done It falls and shines on where we stand Beneath the great unconquered sun
For this is now our turning point The shortest day, the longest night We'll look unto the months to come When the sun will grow both strong and bright
A vessel crown all decked with green That tells of winter's tales and mirth Will bring great gladness and much joy To all who walk upon this earth
And greater than the will of man Or want of that which can be done It falls and shines on where we stand Beneath the great unconquered sun
The servants and the lords alike And masters they will feast with slaves And give them freedom they desire Set thief and scoundrel free this day Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
With candles, dolls and gifts of fruits And blackened faces through the street We'll praise good fortune, raise our cups And drink a toast to king and queen
Far greater than the will of man Or want of that which can be done It falls and shines on where we stand Beneath the great unconquered sun
We'll burn the lamps toward away The spirits in the halls of those Whose houses all be decked with boughs Where evergreen and laurel grows
The earth's white crust where it lay down Does bow the oaken branch to fall 'Tis solstice now, account ye sins Repent ye beggars one and all
For greater than the will of man Or want of that which can be done It falls and shines on where we stand Beneath the great unconquered sun
For greater than the will of man Or want of that which can be done It falls and shines on where we stand Beneath the great unconquered sun
It falls and shines on where we stand Beneath the great unconquered sun
