The Bluebell Wood by The Wild Swans Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2011

Once, all this was silver birch
Scots pine and English yew
Hawthorn where Aldi stands
Come now, we can plant anew
And crack wide Tesco's aisles
With acorns from the ground
Quintillions of sacred atoms cluster and collide
And the stately homes of England's stained glass windows testify
The bluebell woods, where we once stood are under tarmac now
And the sacred groves, those mighty oaks are
Dark satanic shopping centres now
Ash and rowan tree and lime
Could Albion rebuild
Reforest Britain now
Hornbeam and lowly spindle tree
Could burst through Asda's floors
With acorns from the ground
Quintillions of sacred atoms cluster and collide
And the council homes of England's plastic windows testify
The bluebell woods, where we once stood are under tarmac now
And the sacred groves, the mighty oaks are
Dark satanic shopping centres now
All my kingdom for a moment more
All my kingdom for a moment more
All my kingdom for a moment more
A moment more
