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.
Lyrics
All Lyrics © Louis DeWray 1991, 1992 & 1993 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
