Elderberry by longsleeves

A man from Northamptonshire cut a stick from an elder, and saw that the tree was bleeding

When the king and his knights marched towards Long Compton they came upon a witch who told the king—

Seven long strides thou shalt take,
And if Long Compton thou shalt see,
King of England thou shalt be."

The king however went onwards saying—

"Stick, stock, stone
As King of England I shall be known."

However, on the King's seventh stride a hill rose up before Long Compton making him unable to see the town. The witch was there again with her chant—

"As Long Compton thou canst not see
King of England thou shalt not be.
Rise up stick and stand still stone
For King of England thou shalt be none;
Thou and thy men hoar stones shall be
And I myself an eldern tree."

Made out of frustration when 'Heçium Peçium' became too difficult to complete. This EP used old demo recordings as samples to base the songs upon.
