This song is the description of the Holly King and Oak king trading the crown twice a year |
| The Goddess weeps over her lost loved one Into Summerland he will stay Until the sun rises once more And he rides in on suns first ray The oak king sleeps while the holly king reigns Sleign is the life of the warmth cold takes over with blood on his hands the holly king reigns once more the new king arrives with snow on his breath now is the time to celebrate death the trees lie bare, hollow, asleep to the wonderful holly king our love grows deep then another battle another king sleign as the oak king comes to reign again he brings with him warmth, wisdom, and light and now once again we celebrate life one brother dies while one brother lives one takes the light while the other one gives needed for harmony, to balance the world needed for diversity, all the cultures swirled the wheel of the year turns round and round while death and rebirth take place we walk in a sacred spiral and worship her in sacred space |
