Lyrics Current 93 - Death Of The Corn

(2001 - Cats Drunk On Copper)

through the marshes
through the flitering glades
through the corn
and through the scything fields
the summer sun
dances and rages
the summer sun
(?) burning into the light

and who will die for the death of the corn?
and who will lie at the death of the corn?
rise rise rise

the sleeping giant awakes
he circles into circling
the wild wild hunt
dawn dies at dusk
and dolly banners are raised
for the death of the corn
they're sealed with shining
with the true love knot

and who will cry for the death of the corn?
and who will lie at the death of the corn?
rise rise rise

shifting the shapes
that bleed the mountains
you tear apart my body
but the corn king dies
as died will die
and dying still
he shall rise again
and sink back into earth

and who will cry for the death of the corn?
and who willl lie for the death of the corn?
rise rise rise

rise rise rise
rise rise rise

the true love knot is found in the death of the corn
the true love knot is crowned in the death of the corn
the true love knot is bound in the death of the corn
the true love knot is crowned in the death of the corn
the true love knot is bound in the death of the corn
and the true love knot is crowned in the death of the corn
the true love knot is found in the death of the corn
the true love knot is bound in the death of the corn
