Seven stones

Seven stones

Seven stones three tears and one tree
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 

 

 

 

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?

No Sense of Remorse



Of fear and war the twisted truth is money made from arms
By companies who surely know their products will be harm
The buisness is an old one, their premises are clean
It all goes on with no sense of remorse

A cancer of components is part made within the gates
Where precision engineers made triggers to rain hate
On enemies around the World, whoever they may be
Their fate is sealed with no sense of remorse

Of national security the manager calmly spoke
Had making deals with Israel made him a poker face bloke?
But security for England has mutilated Iraq
And his money has no sense of remorse

A surrounding fence was placed when people did proclaim
Get out of our fair city now, get out you work for shame
With their racket of saucepan lids 'gainst the horror of all bombs
But work goes on without a sense of remorse

The servile soldiers are equipped with weapons and then trained
In warfare for a father-land and never to complain
But if there were no weapons made then there would be no war
And there would be no feelings of remorse

One factory is only small compared to the arms trade
The nessicery componants however there are made
Is this what we pay our taxes for, why must it be this way?
And Death drives out with no sense of remorse

The questions they all run so deep if you go and question war
The language speaks about defence, attack is what it's for
And causes made to kill others will one day return home
And families may feel a sense of remorse

I asked what would employers do with their considerable skills
If they had another job than making tools to kill
It seems they are happy in their work, must be eager for more war
War pays their wage with no sense of remorse

B52's and cluster bombs are well know in the trade
Obliterating innocents is where it chiefly pays
Do we subscribe to legal murder or say we shall have no more
Or do we also have no sense of remorse?

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
