The Original Ballad of the Song of Anthracyda
Time-Signature: 4/4 Tempo: 98
T'was the night of Winter Solstice snow was falling down A shepherd and his flock would never Make it back to town They'd spend the night bedded down Upon a windblown hill Haunted by some standing stones Which watched over the chill The shepherd pulled his coat round tight And gathered close the flock Settled down in drifting snow, His back against a rock He prayed that he'd not die that night On such unhallowed ground Then from deep within the stone He heard a soft voice sound You may call me Anthracyda, I'm the god of Andra's Hill My children are long gone now, yet I abide here still A simple farming village I watched o'er best I could They thanked me for the harvest, danced in my sacred wood I'll still watch over my hillside, Try to help the ones in pain I will warm my stones for you, so your prayers are not in vain When they awoke next morning, continuing their way They found the snow had melted everywhere they lay You may call me Anthracyda, I'm the god of Andra's Hill My children are long gone now, Yet I abide here still Christian people hear me, See the tears of Christ the Son Two commands he gave to you Love your god and everyone You may call me Anthracyda, I'm the god of Andra's Hill
