Green Man Rising

I’ve seen the green man
With his face of leaves
Carved on the church wall
High in the eaves

As I passed by him
Heard him call my name
Can this be real?
Or am I insane?

Oh, now I can see
I am the sacrifice
Oh, now I believe
The green man shall rise

Into the wildwood
I walk entranced
Deep in the shadows
I hear them chant

Compelled by his power
To my forest tomb
I let out a mad laugh
I know I am doomed

Oh, now I can see
I am the sacrifice
Oh, now I believe
The green man shall rise

Ooh, under the trees
I am the sacrifice
Ooh, blood on the leaves
The green man shall rise

I stand in the circle
Watching as he takes form
As life drains from my body
I see the green man reborn

Oh, now I can see
I am the sacrifice
Oh, now I believe
The green man shall rise

Oh, under the trees
I am the sacrifice
Oh, blood on the leaves
The green man shall rise
