The Return Of Pan
I stood upon the balcony with my brand new bridethe clink of bells came drifting down the mountainsideWhen in our sight something moved- lightning eyed and cloven hooved -The great god Pan is alive!He moves amid the modern world in disguiseit's possible to look into his immortal eyesHe's like a man you'd meet anyplaceUntil you recognise that ancient faceThe great god Pan is alive!At sea on a ship in a thunder stormon the very night that Christ was bornA sailor heard from overheada mighty voice cry Pan is dead!So follow Christ as best you can Pan is dead! Long Live Pan!From the olden days and up through all the yearsfrom Arcadia to the stone fields of InisheerSome say the Gods are just a mythbut guess who I've been dancing withThe great god Pan is alive!
