Willow Trees Bend Lyrics

Bonnie Prince Billy Willow Trees Bend

Willow trees bend
but I won't bend
I will never lay down
for every man alive
there's a fire
and for every king a crown

my world's been rocked before
and it will be rocked again
by a tremor or a howling wind
and lord if you demand
if the world at large asks of me
I will surrender to you

we have a power
all animals do
when faced with your fire
I will surrender to you

fun to joy the aim
so we live forever
they may mock us but we do
the river carries on
clouded with what we've done
the deeds of me and you

we have a power
all animals do
when faced with your fire
I will surrender to you
