kate rusby - the holly king lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
all hail he comes
the holly king he comes
he is dressed all in green array
and the icy wind he shuns

[verse 2]
all hail he comes
the winter king he comes
he’s crowned in verdant splendour
and he’s seen a million suns

[chorus]
and he’ll sing and he’ll stand
’til his queen comes across the land
and the frost she’ll bring
to the holly king

[verse 3]
when the sun sinks low
the summer king he knows
that winter’s grip is tightening
and it’s time for his overthrow

[verse 4]
and then winter wakes
through hedge field and forest lakes
the birds in silent reverence
for his icy queen he wakes
[chorus]
and he’ll sing and he’ll stand
’til his queen comes across the land
and the frost she’ll bring
to the holly king

[instrumental break]

[verse 5]
no sword, but staff
he walks his winter path
and surveys his land before him
in summer’s aftermath

[verse 6]
then she appears with grace
she lifts her frozen face
in eternal, blissful harmony
it’s winter’s cold embrace

[chorus]
and he’ll sing and he’ll stand
now his queen comes across the land
and the frost she’ll bring
to the holly king
[verse 7]
all hail he comes
the holly king he comes
now nature she can rest a while
now winter has begun

[chorus]
and they’ll sing and they’ll stand
now his queen’s come across the land
and the frost she’ll cling
to the holly king

[outro]
the holly king
the holly king
the holly king (the frost she’ll bring)
the holly king
