An Cat Dubh The Hymn To Pan Lyrics

The Hymn To Pan Lyrics

Strophe:

a F

Alone he sits an abandoned man upon an oaken throne

a C G

Presiding over this conflict that chills him to the bone

a


For each word of peace that4s been spoken

F d 

Is a thorn
stuck in his side

a G F

And his pain bears witness to the foolness
of mankind



What hope for a king, with no kingdom to rule?

His children desert him, regard him as a fool

They are bonded to
progress, the plough and the scythe

That lay waste and leave barren, what
beauty survives



Refrain:

G a C e 

In the name of
freedom let the Hymn to Pan be sung

F G a

It4s just a chapter of a
time to come



Strophe:

These legends of power and glory
suffice

For these yesterday-heroes who lived out their lives

Chained by conformity, hatred and greed

And told to believe, they
don4t want to be free



Refrain:

Strophe:

There are men
among us prepared to face the fight

Who4ll stand by their convictions
against overwhelming might

Do not hide like cowards and await the bitter
end

Take your courage in both hands and join with me my friends



Refrain:
