Thread Name: Songs about the Brahan Seer of Scotland?
Subject: Lyr Add: THE PROPHET^^^
Here's a more recent song by Wolfstone:

The Prophet

I saw a raven, plumage pale,
I saw him drink the blood of the Gael,
Above Clach Mor the gulls will wail,
Tonight the prophet gets paid.

Uig's stone so high and white,
Odin's birds got it in its sight
In Scaristavore they'll weep tonight,
For tonight the prophet gets paid.

Chorus: He who dances shall see him,
And they that lie will deceive him.
For there are those who cannot see him,
Tonight the prophet gets paid.

At Chanonry they scream advance
The Dove, the Crow, they circle and dance
Tasg spirits hold them in a trance
Tonight the prophet gets paid.

(chorus)

The Libran moon it waxed and waned
Darkness felt the sting of black rain
A thousand dreams couldn't mask the pain
The night the prophet got paid.
