Charolais lyrics
by Horslips
Her words were sharp; they cut him deep
In a war between the sheets
But when he brought his bull to her
It meant a woman making war
Beyond the eiderdown
The druids read the smoke and sand;
Told her that she would love again
The rhythms from the wolfskin drums
Called men to war in hide and bronze
This goddess wore a crown
Charolais, charolais -
We are come for you today
The champions and the Seven Sons are
Come to take away the Donn
But the Fairy Child knew more;
Saw the host stained red in war
Saw the hero-light around the head
Of a dragon-boy just ripe for bed
Of wives and manly sons
