[00:00.98]The Disenchanted Forest - Skyclad
[00:10.38]The Farm Hand＇s Ghost:
[00:34.29]＂My kin and I had laboured hard to reap the yearly harvest
[00:37.76]Lain weary on our gathered sheaves we cracked a vat of ale Poured a toast;
[00:45.19]Began to boast of who could sup the hardest
[00:47.71]Slumped in drunken slumber at the height of wild wassail
[01:06.35]I woke to find my brothers gone that Autumn eve so balmy
[01:19.26]Yet gazed in wide-eyed terror to the barley fields nearby
[01:23.979996]Struck dumb I swore; Stood before a mighty woad-daubed army
[01:29.58]Believed my wits deceived me ＇til I heard their battle-cry ＂
[01:34.96]＂Smash the axe and sow the seed;
[01:36.53]Don＇t cause the Oaken Heart to bleed ＂
[02:13.62]＂When he that led this heathen horde cast-off his ivy mantle;
[02:17.70999]Cohorts raised honed halberds flying pennants of leaf-green
[02:21.55]From below approached the foe; A fierce scythe-bearing hantle
[02:27.03]Captains sat triumphant upon coughing steel machines ＂
[02:31.56]＂Break the bough and strip all off it
[02:43.20999]＂Break the bough and strip all off it
[02:45.1]Fell this forest make a profit ＂
[05:18.89]＂Opposing forces clashed beneath a red sky cracked by thunder
[05:22.47]Entrenched beneath the hedge-row I＇d observed it quite unseen
[05:27.26]One side stood to save the wood: T＇other planned it＇s plunder
[05:32.91998]I chose to fight for Nature＇s right; Grabbed a fallen skean
[05:36.51]All who would one flower destroy must first cut down this Didycoy
[05:47.82]All who would one flower destroy must first cut down this Didycoy
[06:12.11]We fought until the last that day to gain a hard-won victory
[06:16.0]Sucked in by the thirsty earth - I watched my life-blood ebb
[06:20.54]Though I died at least I＇d tried to play some part in history;
[06:25.82]A momentary trembling on the threads of Wyrd＇s web ＂
[06:31.57]＂Are there more so brave and honest;
[06:33.63]Who would die to save my forest ＂
[06:36.46]＂Are there more so brave and honest;
[06:42.82]Who would die to save my forest ＂
