Snow on Stonehenge

from One Wiltshire Winter by Archie Atholl

/

lyrics

Far too long I’ve been obsessed with what I owned
Whether I earned enough, or had the largest home
I’d blow my money on designer clothes, and Toni&Guy hair
But still no matter what I had I would not share
I know, my ego has to fall
Like snow.

Now it’s clear there can be more to life than this
If I can make the choice to live not just exist
For happiness cannot be bought despite how much is spent
It’s no surprise that I have never felt content
I know, my ego has to fall
Like snow.

Snow came on heavily
As the Knight traversed the stones to me
Held in his armoured hand, was the dagger I’d been sent to acquire.

He said “Draw the blade cross your palm
When the blood pools in your hand
Place it firmly on the Slaughter Stone, this pledge is required.

To reclaim your past -
Sacrifice shall grant a second chance
When the planets align, the gift of time’s the greatest of all.

You can start again
With these lessons you’ve learned, but first your ego it has to fall
Fall like the snow on Stonehenge”.
