The wheel has turned, he is reborn So let the circle never end Gives strength to seed and harvest corn And leads us in our Pagan dance Let us dance!
Snow has covered the land, whilst the forest is sleeping Mother Nature resides as haggard crone Soon comes the time of my renewal To claim once more the wildwoods throne
By the first rays of light my horn is calling Beasts and denizens of the wild My amber eyes open to watch thee Dance on my glades, sweet Pagan Child
Refrain: I am the Lord of the Forest Cernunnos is my name
By the groves, deep in the ancient woods He builds his oaken throne Lay down my head in times of winter’s frost In spring I’ll be reborn
Watch me holding the torque, for it shall bind you Let the circle never end Heave in sensual joy, feel the spirit of nature Across my green and pleasant land
In the blue, endless sky, proudly I raise my antlers And sound a call of carnal desire Oh, Maiden of Spring, lay down here before me And praise me by the Beltane Fire
I am the Lord of the Forest Cernunnos is my name I am the Lord of the Forest The stag roams wild and free
For he’s the One who wears the antlers He shall reign forevermore By the gleam of burning embers Still witches preach the ancient lore
Keep in your heart the ancient fire Children of nature mind your birth Release your chains, cast down your idols Come back from Heaven down to Earth
I am the Lord of the Forest The stag roams wild and free
I lead the hunt, I pipe the dancers ‘Til the sun begins to wane By the sign of Torque and Antlers Paganity will rise again!
