Horslips - Charolais Lyrics

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 wolf skin 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
