about

This is the song gifted to me by my local yew grove as a very unhappy human I went to ask for help and advice. What I got was a song telling me how old and wise the great yews are. Llangernyw Yew is the oldest and wisest tree in the churchyard of St Digains church it has seen battles, lovers and stone circles all come and go. So we humans are a tiny part of the history.

lyrics

Sacred Witchy Tree

Help me sacred witchy tree I can not be here with thee

Watching humans is a farce, broken hearts within your grasp

Help me sacred wise old tree joining sky and earth below

These are worlds that you do know these are worlds that you do know

Chorus

I was here before the stones I was here before the bones

I was here before the cross I've been here long time lost



Tree of life history hold mighty trunks are gnarled and old

Lovers tryst beneath your boughs carving names in bleeding hearts

Ivy strangles church and cross standing stones are smashed and lost

Lift the veil and slip below lift the veil to slip below

Chorus

I was not the only one we were great we were love

Grasping roots our branches long

Standing in a circle strong



Calling to me great God Bran steeped in earth since time began

Dapples arms reach out to me swaying veins of mottled green

Whispering spirits call me near secret language to my ear

Draw me to thy portal now draw me to thy portal now

Spoken word...............

Chorus

I stood here with raven black battle cry sword and drum

Morrigan takes mankind's dead

Roots are stained with life blood red



Anchor deep in earths domain yew immortal will remain

Ancient pillar of the realms sweet surrender to the dream

Endlessly the wheel goes round mortals tread on hallowed ground

Through the gate to mystery through the gate to mystery

Chorus

I am poison magic strong hissing snake around me twist

Song bird raven owl dark crow bliss eternal by my bow

Chorus

I was here before the stones I was here before the bones

I was here before the cross I've been here long time lost (rep)
