lyrics

Way back in time before memories
We lived in the fields of our birth
We nurtured the soil and the forests and trees
In return we lived off the earth

What is seen is not all there is
There are two realms intertwined
A spiritual world just out of sight But rarely far from mind

Closer still when the solstice came
Along ley lines and cairns of power
The mysteries of the spirit world
Came abroad for barely an hour

Brief shadows seen and the legends grew
A little perspective of our place in this scene
The balance of nature and spirit life
Respect for the space in-between

When the twilight comes and the worlds collide
That boundary between death and dark and life and light
The green man glimpsed in his ancient home
Out of the corner of the eye just out of sight - the green man

And now the chainsaws scream out their songs of hate
Commuters their willing slaves
The cranes they'll run up a pirate's flag
The bulldozers dig their unmarked graves

Shrines to money's indifference
It's gone further than anyone planned
Profit runs without boundaries
Spewing out concrete covering this land

When the twilight comes and the worlds collide
There's nowhere left to roam
The green man cries from a far-off wood
Remembering his long-lost home - the green man

A wise man once prophesied to me
That we'll rip up the roads and tear the buildings down
The forests will grow green and the streams will run clear
There'll be healing and harmony all around

When the twilight comes and the worlds collide
There might be just enough space to roam
The green man can be glimpsed in a far-off wood
Walking back through his long-lost home - the green man
