about

The enigma of Stonehenge remains today as great a mystery as it must have been for the slaves who hauled the bluestones from the Prescelly Mountains, Wales to Salisbury Plain.

lyrics

Stonehenge - Salisbury Plain - Henge

Head bowed, the calm before the storm
hollowed eyed and bent await the dawn
in my mind I hear the spirits call
“all will see”.

(Welcome to the journey)
Come rest my head
come soothe my soul
my aching bones
rest on this cold, wet soil.

The bluestone lies
ensnared by rope
we slaves entwined
chained to a life long yoke.

Head bowed, the rope bites into flesh
heavy steps, we grind towards our quest
hear the voice, the dark approaching death
“all will see”.

(Welcome to the journey)
Prescelly Hills
the journey’s start
the blackness comes
choking my throat and heart.

Through season’s change
through mountain glen
through endless pain
and I ask .. for what end?
