about
A warning of the perils of dancing on the sabbath ! Many of the stone circles in Britain have associated myths about how they were created as divine punishment for frolicking on a Sunday, with the revellers being petrified, quite literally. Next time you visit a stone circle, stop and listen out for the piper, and be careful that you don’t share his fate….
lyrics
I wandered lonely as a cloud
And found myself, high on the Sussex Downs
I heard a sound and turned around
There in a glade, a wondrous scene I found
Nine maidens dancing in the sun
The piper played, such a haunting tune
A ring of stones
I can feel it in my bones
No warnings came
They were punished in his name
The seasons change
But those statues still remain
Just a fairytale - who knows ?
I watched them spinning from afar
Enchanted there, in the summer haze
Nine maidens skipping round and round
It took me back, to those long gone days
A ring of stones etc.
Fi, Foe, Fee
One, two, three
Turn all thee To stone
Fee, Foe, Fi
All shall die
Petrified Stone
There was a sudden flash of light
The piper stopped, and his face grew pale
Nine maidens frozen side by side
And this I swear, is a truthful tale
A ring of stones etc.
