The Cauldron and the Cross, Pt.2 - Seven Sisters

It seems my time has come to pass

I see my journey’s end

Scattered through the ashes of the past

Am I to believe what is waiting for me?

Is afterlife gracious, eternal and free?

The blood on my hands is the blood of the innocent?

What’s left behind is ruins and fear

A vision of death through flames turned to tears

In time this will heal, but the scars will never fade

(Solo: Farmer)

Under cast-iron fist of the Lord

We were ordered to slaughter for His cause

Loving thy neighbour with a sharpened blade

I was told this was part of the plan

Claim the crown and unite the broken lands

All Gods are one, you serve a higher faith

(pre-chorus)

And for this country I did bleed

You gave me the sword to guide and lead

But in the end I led us all astray

Take me to the lake

Part the mists once more and

Guide my soul back home

(end pre-chorus)

(Solo: McNeill)

All the wisdom the Goddess must have

Couldn’t keep her from fading into black

Belief is like time, it only moves one way

After all this is how it must be

Nothing lasts in this ever-changing dream

The world will move on, but the past remains the same

(Reprise pre-chorus)

The land I sought to heal forever lost

Caught between the cauldron and the cross

A calling from the mists of Avalon

Caught between the cauldron and the cross!

(end chorus)

(Solo: McNeill)

(Main solos: Farmer 6:56—7:07, McNeill 7:07−19, McNeill-Farmer 7:19−43)

(Reprise chorus)

The cauldron and the cross…
