The Holly King

Kate Rusby

[Verse 1]
All hail he comes
The Holly King he comes
He is dressed all in green array
And the icy wind he shuns

[Verse 2]
All hail he comes
The Winter King he comes
He's crowned in verdant splendour
And he's seen a million suns

[Chorus]
And he'll sing and he'll stand
'Til his queen comes across the land
And the frost she'll bring
To the Holly King

[Verse 3]
When the sun sinks low
The Summer King he knows
That winter's grip is tightening
And it's time for his overthrow

[Verse 4]
And then winter wakes
Through hedge field and forest lakes
The birds in silent reverence
For his icy queen he wakes

[Chorus]
And he'll sing and he'll stand
'Til his queen comes across the land
And the frost she'll bring
To the Holly King

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
No sword, but staff
He walks his winter path
And surveys his land before him
In summer's aftermath

[Verse 6]
Then she appears with grace
She lifts her frozen face
In eternal, blissful harmony
It's winter's cold embrace

[Chorus]
And he'll sing and he'll stand
Now his queen comes across the land
And the frost she'll bring
To the Holly King

[Verse 7]
All hail he comes
The Holly King he comes
Now nature she can rest a while
Now winter has begun

[Chorus]
And they'll sing and they'll stand
Now his queen's come across the land
And the frost she'll cling
To the Holly King

[Outro]
The Holly King
The Holly King
The Holly King (The frost she'll bring)
The Holly King
