The Oak

Song: The Oak
Artist: Spiral Dance
Album: The Quickening

For shelter and shade
Has the oak tree grown
The ship, the cradle
The hearth, and home

Arms so strong
They hold the sky
Stood so long that
The heart can't die

The limbs, the veins
The head and the heart
The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The limbs, the veins
The head and the heart
The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

Tear the branch
And your crops will fail
Break the bough
And your fleet won't sail

It cries when
The black rain burns
Trees die when
The seas return

The limbs, the veins
The head and the heart
The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The limbs, the veins
The head and the heart
The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

A dozen generations
Has the oak tree grown
The roots reach deep
To the rocks and bones

Arms so strong
They hold up the sky
Stood so long that
The heart can't die

The limbs, the veins
The head and the heart
The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The limbs, the veins
The head and the heart
The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The limbs, the veins
The head and the heart
The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The limbs, the veins
The head and the heart
The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The limbs, the veins
The head and the heart
The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The limbs, the veins
The head and the heart
The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

The earth, the roots
The leaves and the bark

A dozen generations has the oak tree grown

The roots reach deep to the rocks and bones

Arms so strong they hold up the sky

Stood so long that the heart can't die

The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart

The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark

The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart

The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark

(Repeated 4 or 5 times)

Tear the branch and your crops will fail

Break the bough and your fleet won't sail

?It cries when the black rain burns

?Trees die when the seas return

The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart

The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark

The limbs, the veins, the head and the heart

The earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark

Many pre-Christian cultures considered the oak sacred. Frazer's Golden Bough describes at length how the Greeks, Romans, Celts, Slavs, Balts, and Germanic people all venerated it. In my own pagan practice, I consider it very important.

I can't seem to stop listening to this. It's really a great song, and I love the chant!

Great grounding chant, the limbs, the veins, the head and the heart. The Earth, the roots, the leaves and the bark.
