Blood Axis - ’The Ride’

When doors lie open at halloween On glimmering hills and lands unseen The oldest of all that the world gave birth Ride again through the hills of earth Long before the word was spoken Moon scarred or promise broken From dust before the first day’s sun The children of the twilight come When the great stones rose on the windy plain And the corn mother sang for the springing grain They carved the shot downs on the hill The grey host rode and it’s riding still When the eagles came with their wings outspread And the hard roads rang to the legion’s tread The war ran straight from coast to coast Under the starlight rode the host When they came from the north with their axe and plow And the one-eyed god hung from the bough Nine knights between the earth and sky He saw the host come riding by When clamoring bells and chanting priests Proclaimed the dead god from the east And churches rose on eve
