Lets never forget those who have passed
\nOur ancestors for they have cast
\nTheir knowledge wide and we follow through
\nOur crops are important for they all do
\nSow and harvest the goodness store
\nBake our bread thats what its for
\nHonour the craftsman god loo, nah sar
\nTransformation that where we are<\/p>\n
The wheel of the year
\nHas turned once more
\nSickles and scythes hang by the door
\nGrapes and vines
\nAnd sheaths of wheat
\nSome of the signs
\nAll good to eat<\/p>\n
Little corn dollies
\nPumpkins round
\nApples and peaches set on the ground
\nPlums and damsons
\nAnd lots lots more
\nThe coming harvest
\nYea galore<\/p>\n
We need the stores
\nCrammed full of food
\nFor winter cometh
\nWhen winds are crude
\nWhen the sun don’t shine
\nAnd the rain and frost
\nRemind us all of the flowers we have lost<\/p>\n
As the wheel keeps turning
\nMore friends pass on
\nWe just look around
\nAnd they are gone
\nGone to the spirit their eyes will see
\nUs at our rituals, constantly
\nSo always spare a kindred thought
\nFor the ancestors and the knowledge taught<\/p>\n
One day all of us will be
\nAncestors,too our symphony
\nOf memories played out tunefully
\nIn the shadows roundabout
\nBlessed be we hear them shout
\nBlessed be yes blessed be
\nRoll rights roll and so do we<\/p>\n
