lyrics

There fill the pits of the fifty-six
With the stones mined from the chalk downs

There dig a ditch on a sloping pitch
With the antlers deftly sharpened

Bowmen and archers have laboured long
And they're carving in the dagger blade

Age-old song of the ringing rock
Every follower must hearken

There where the bones of deer and oxen lie
There where we learned to read the sky


The circle is unbroken
No words are written, only spoken
We bring our sick and broken
We bring our dead our tokens


Walk through the night to the sacred site
That is ready for the burial

Fires on the banks of the Avon burn
As we welcome back the summer

There, as if one, we will watch the sun
As it rises 'bove the chosen stone

Tongue and groove with no way to prove
Our intentions or our number

There where the bones of men and children lie
There where we learned to read the sky
