lyrics

The Reaping Crone rides the sky
Sweeping, reaping

The old and the dead are to her hearth fires led
By the twinkling of her eye

Drawing down the harvest moon
Silver tongue, with an ancient rune
Across the veil, returns the tune

La, la
La, la, la, la, ah, lo
La, ah

Far as the eye, the eye can see
The rolling hills, the wild and free
And a thing out of time is born in me
I am old, yes, it's true

The holy oak, the rowan tree
The sap; the wine—the soul; a seed

As I am quickened and I have need

I love as she loves through me

The Reaping Crone rides the sky
Sweeping, reaping

The old and the dead are to her hearth fires led
By the twinkling of her eye

Swaying soft, her breath of trees

Her crown: the stars—her womb; the seas
And a thing out of time is born in me

I am old, yes, it's true

As ash is Adam, and elm is Eve

And Mother Korn, the laden sheave
As I am quickened and I have need

I love as she loves through me
