Skadi’s Hammer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lord of the harvest, master of scythe Open the fields and collect your prize Woe to you, John Barleycorn Rest in peace upon the miller's stone [Chorus] Oh the harvest's got sharp teeth and it's dragging me under Put down the sword, turn the millstone 'round Oh Demeter's embrace holds the sun to the land Until Skadi brings her hammer down Until Skadi brings her hammer down Until Skadi brings her hammer down [Verse 2] Reaper man, reaper man is coming to tear Through your fiеlds, to strike the corn down Reapеr man, reaper man, lay them all to rest And let the land sleep at winter's behest [Chorus] Oh the harvest's got sharp teeth and it's dragging me under Put down the sword, turn the millstone 'round Oh Demeter's embrace holds the sun to the land Until Skadi brings her hammer down [Verse 3] I thought I heard the old man say John Barleycorn will soon lie in his grave One for the rook, one for the crow One will wither and one will grow {Chorus} Oh the harvest's got sharp teeth and it's dragging me under Put down the sword, turn the millstone 'round Oh Demeter's embrace holds the sun to the land Until Skadi brings her hammer down Until Skadi brings her hammer down Until Skadi brings her hammer down
