Seven Stones
Seven stones three tears and one tree
Cedar's black sap the bluebell's call
From Mutter's Moor behind red cliffs fall
Where the seven stones were placed
So long ago there's little trace
Yet remnants from the past returning
Mark the spell we don't know we're yearning
Mustering in dell and goyle
Echoes of that true Royal
That was not by war begat
But yet 'pon faerie throne is sat
On Beltane Eve I sat down low
And spoke the only prayer I know
On Mutter's top on Beltane eve
Magic that we there concieve
Three times round and then you'll see
Opening of magic tree
Sacred cedar's boughs unfurl
Way way down to the underworld
So seven stones they soon appeared
Through which the ancient ones most revered
Saw invisible and saw us in it all
Within the material coiled
Love that's trapped within some past
Or caught behind restraining glass
Breaks to freedom from the fear
Finds the tree that stood for years
Biding time that's wasted not
Here in this blessed coastal spot
Is all a dream all out of time
Is now the stream renewing rhyme
From seven stones so pours unseen
This the all remarkable dream
From past to future faerie few
Have woken up the sleeping muse
Seven stones three tears and one tree
This her all remarkable dream
All out flowing filling sorrows
Spelling out our rich tomorrows
Seven stones solid matter unseen
The path where our ancestors feet had been
Three the tears cedar's black sap
The song to our heart that our spirit lacks
One the tree mother of roots
Flowers and fruits father of lutes
Through hallow's night waiting for the light
Alder fires a burning bright
Sidmouth by the sea in the valley of the Sidhe
Magic that will ever be
Seven stones three tears and one tree
Seven stones three tears and one tree
Lost Troubadours
Lost troubadours we bring you sound
Exiles of love hear what we found
Gone for so long banished for fear
Fear of life's beauty shining so clear
Here is the song that is sung for the one
The one who is waiting to become
Waiting in darkness waiting in light
Sharing a vision of no violent fight
Hear us sing sad songs
Hear us sing glad songs
Hear us sing that song
That you wanted to hear
Lost troubadours confronters of doom
Soldiers of love no gun but a tune
Travelling through these terrible times
Bringers of hope suspended in rhyme
It is in this way that we have our our say
One common parlance that can hold sway
On all oppression on all deceit
Recounting our story in places we meet
That which is heard in rhythm and word
Reaches out to you does this sound absurd?
Lost troubadours bringers of love
Touching the heart below as above
Here now to stay are you going our way?
This is the music we're going to play
Here is the song that's sung for the one
The one who is waiting for to become
Waiting in darkness waiting in light
Making a future from no violent fight
Hear us sing sad songs
Hear us sing glad songs
Hear us sing that song
That you wanted to hear
Exiles of love hear what we found
Gone for so long banished for fear
Fear of life's beauty shining so clear
Here is the song that is sung for the one
The one who is waiting to become
Waiting in darkness waiting in light
Sharing a vision of no violent fight
Hear us sing sad songs
Hear us sing glad songs
Hear us sing that song
That you wanted to hear
Lost troubadours confronters of doom
Soldiers of love no gun but a tune
Travelling through these terrible times
Bringers of hope suspended in rhyme
It is in this way that we have our our say
One common parlance that can hold sway
On all oppression on all deceit
Recounting our story in places we meet
That which is heard in rhythm and word

Touching the heart below as above
Here now to stay are you going our way?
This is the music we're going to play
Here is the song that's sung for the one
The one who is waiting for to become
Waiting in darkness waiting in light
Making a future from no violent fight
Hear us sing sad songs

Green Man
Where did you see him run?
In the place Amergin sung
Did he wear the leaves of oak?
It was his green calendar cloak
Could he be Tom Bombadil?
Ask the poets on the hill
What did Sir Gawain make him do?
Chop his head off through and through
Why could he not chop him down?
Green Man gets up from the round
So on a quest Gawain is sent
Green Man spares his life in the end
Green Man where have you gone?
For they chopped your greenwood down
Will you be coming back again?
To dance in pageant and parade
Is your wisdom just a dream?
Ask the salmon in the stream
Hooray for the Rowan, Oak and Ash!
Hooray for the Green Man who must last!
Hooray for the Hawthorn, Yew and Birch!
Hooray for the cycle of rebirth!
Hooray for the rain that makes him green!
Hooray for the spirit that walks unseen!
Green Man Green Man
With your face all full of leaves
Alive though we chop you down
Without you we don't breathe
Green Man! Green Man!
Green Man! Green Man!
The Song Of Amergin:
Secrets of the Dolmen
I am a stag of seven tines and ox of seven fights
I am a wide flood opon the plain
I am a wind that is blowing on the waters
I am the teardrops of the sun, I glitter like dew
A-E-I-O-U
Who but I...etc
I am the Griffon flying to my nest upon the cliff
I am that which God made beautious
I am as much the oak as the lightning that strikes it
As I am the Druid making fire opon the hill
A-E-I-O-U
Chorus
I made the spearmen fearless at the battle of the trees
I have been a salmon in the net
I have been a spotted serpent coiled among the rocks
I fled as a savage boar in a sacred grove
A-E-I-O-U
Chorus
I am the terrifying crash of waves opon the sea
I return like the receeding tide
I am all of these things continual
I am a year of thirteen trees, a letter for each one
A-E-I-O-U
WHO BUT I CAN UNFOLD THE SECRETS OF THE DOLMEN?
WHO BUT I CAN UNFOLD THE SECRETS OF THE DOLMEN?
WHO BUT I CAN UNFOLD THE SECRETS OF THE DOLMEN?
WHO BUT I CAN UNFOLD THE SECRETS OF THE DOLMEN?
I am a wide flood opon the plain
I am a wind that is blowing on the waters
I am the teardrops of the sun, I glitter like dew
A-E-I-O-U
Who but I...etc
I am the Griffon flying to my nest upon the cliff
I am that which God made beautious
I am as much the oak as the lightning that strikes it
As I am the Druid making fire opon the hill

Twist of a Song
Catch a hold of a twist of a song
Sung long long ago
Brings me solace, not for long
Ah but I've got another one
Never knew love could hurt so much
But there's a feeling that I get
Comes drifting in from a real place
Where sorrow's grip never took a hold
I get confused when I loose some love
I get the blues where friendship should be
I would like us to go there
To the place beyond the boundries
Really would like to breathe the air
Of brightness all around us
And to catch a hold of this twist of a song
Which we once knew
There is no more that I can say
Because you do not answer
You just have to walk on by
To take this love for ransome
Kosen Rufu
Nichiren he chanted
Nam myo-ho renge kyo
If you do as he did
Kosen Rufu starts to flow
Ah the great road of peace unfolding
Seven hundred years
It stayed inside Japan
Since Hiroshima Nagasaki
It spread to many lands
Oh the great road of peace unfolding
Tsunesaboro Makiguchi
Would not be deterred
By military oppression
He kept to his word
On the great road of peace unfolding
Makiguchi died in prison
Josei Toda carried on
To make his declaration
Against the atom bomb
On the great road of peace unfolding
Toda was the mentor
Of Daisaku Ikeda
Who took the message to the world
Speaking very clear
On the great road of peace unfolding
Ikeda started travelling
In nineteen sixty one
The world began to open up
It is evolutio...
...on the great road of peace unfolding
Through the seventies and eightees
The path it was not lost
Kosen Rufu means
Spreading seeds at any cost
On the great road of peace unfolding
Growing in the ninetees
In the naughties more and more
Environmental thinking
Coming to the fore
On the great road of peace unfolding
People are walking
On down this peace road
Arising from the earth
Just as the sutra told
On the great road of peace unfolding
Spreading through all nations
This flag it has unfurled
Not for domination
But value in this world
On the great road of peace unfolding
It's in everybody
In good and bad alike
The seeds of buddha nature
Are growing to the light
On the great road of peace unfolding
Buddhahood is life
That is bursting at the seams
Nam myo-ho renge kyo
Is stuff of wildest dreams
On the great road of peace unfolding
Dialogue with enemies
Really is the key
To unlock our prison cell
Of backwards destiny
On the great road of peace unfolding
In this time of darkness
The lotus sutra shines
It's a seed that's strong enough
To make our lives sublime
Ah the great road of peace unfolding
Find the Rhyme
Ah the great road of peace unfolding
Find the Rhyme
They say that the darkest time
Is just before the dawn
You knew your mother's eyes
Right when you were born
Do you know we are keys
To galactical unreeling?
Have you found my love?
Yes I saw it weeping all alone
Have you known the hardest blows
So it cut you to the bone?
Do we re-cognise the times and slides
Of schemes and scenes we had felt were real?
Do we hold on tight to letting go or to holding on
To what had been concealed?
Chosen moment a frame within a timeline
So far beyond yet closer than our closest call
It's me, I'm real, I'm quoting words half off the skies
(It's we, we're real, so far through eyes of dreamtime)
And read between these lines, a stitch in time
We shall find the rhyme
And know that we don't die
For we shall find the rhyme
Come alive the dream within a rainbow's tear-bright eyes
And streaming through the few family who would run round you
