Текст песни: Green and Grey + перевод

Early one morning, around the first of May

A man in black came walking, into a woodland glade

Following the sounds of pipes on this beautiful Spring

Day

High on the music that they made

But what beheld him within that place?

A look of recognition fell across his face

«Lucifer, oh Lucifer, why do you appear to me?

For I am a man of God, a priest

I’m no devil I’m Father to the land

I have lived here since the Earth began

Neither black nor white

Priest hear what I say

I’m green and grey

The priest said, «Lucifer, Lucifer you lie so well

I will pray unto my God, go back to the fires of Hell!

You fell from Heaven, and you fell from Grace

You want dominion over this place.»

The Piper smiled, and to the priest he said

«I was Lord of Animals, the Wild Hunt I led

Until your God came here and with his jealous hand

It was he who wanted dominion over this land

The priest said, «All evil comes from your hand.»

The Piper said, «If evil is, it lies in the hearts of

Man.»

«But you lead us, oh you tempt us, to rape, to steal

To kill!»

The Piper said, «Whatever happened to free will?»

Then the Grove lay empty, the priest told no one

The blossom lay upon the thorn, the Piper’s tune was

Done

And in the sunlit forest, the animals they bowed

As the Piper lay his Goddess down
