Story behind the song
A suggestion by guitarist Damien DeVille to pen a song about "The Wicker Man". the them was inspired by the film of the same name and of course The Pagan Crop Rite Ritual performed on May Eve. A real kick ass rock song.

WICKER MAN
The day is lost to the given daughters
Broken lives with men like him
Girls in groups with blackened hands
Knights in shining shattered limbs
The time has come for you to lose
All you fought for a living soul
The time has come for you to lose
All you fought for
All you ever never had
Flicker the flames burn your hands
You know he'll take you down with him
Flicker the flames burn your hands
The Wiccaman, he'll trade with you
Girls in black with blackened hearts
Knights in shining rested armor
Flicker the flames burn your hands
You know he'll take you down with him
Flicker the flames burn your hands
The Wiccaman, he'll trade with you
Times that change, the wind that blows
The realms of beasts are given souls
The girls in groups with blackened hearts
The shapes of Angels, their noble hearts
Flicker the flames burn your hands
You know he'll take you down with him
Flicker the flames burn your hands
The Wiccaman, he'll trade with you
