Charolais - Horslips

In a war between the sheets

But when he brought his bull to her

It meant a woman making war

Beyond the eiderdown

The druids read the smoke and sand;

Told her that she would love again

The rhythms from the wolfskin drums

Called men to war in hide and bronze

This goddess wore a crown

Charolais, charolais —

We are come for you today

The champions and the Seven Sons are

Come to take away the Donn

But the Fairy Child knew more;

Saw the host stained red in war

Saw the hero-light around the head

Of a dragon-boy just ripe for bed

Of wives and manly sons
