Battle Of Trees - Tori Amos[00:00:01]

Our language of love[00:00:19]

The Battle of Trees[00:00:22]

We fought side by side[00:00:24]

No one had more[00:00:27]

Sharper consonants than you love[00:00:34]

And my vowels well were trusted[00:00:45]

First comes the Birch[00:01:05]

Rowan followed by the Ash[00:01:09]

Then through the Alder she forms[00:01:13]

And merges with Willow[00:01:18]

The Hawthorne blossoms[00:01:22]

As the Oak guards the door[00:01:59]

She is the hinge on which the year swings[00:02:05]

He courts the lightning flash and her[00:02:15]

Summoning the spirits[00:02:28]

Through incantations[00:02:32]

You said the Thunder God seems to have[00:02:33]

And our enemies are the Reed[00:02:41]

But we knew the Furies held the Holly sacred[00:02:52]

We were insulated[00:03:01]

In a circle of words we'd drawn[00:03:04]

With wisdom sent from nine Hazels[00:03:12]

A Rowan fire and a Willow rod[00:03:18]

At ten comes the vine[00:03:19]

That generates bramble wine[00:03:31]

The constant change of the night sun[00:03:35]

A song in the blood of the white bull[00:03:45]

Our language of love[00:03:58]

The Battle of Trees[00:04:01]

We fought side by side[00:04:06]

No one had more[00:04:10]

Sharper consonants than you love[00:04:15]

And my vowels well were trusted[00:04:20]

From Ivy leaves is an ale that can unveil[00:04:39]

The hidden meanings and serpents[00:04:49]

Only revealed through visions[00:04:55]

Yes vowels could insert[00:05:04]

"A" was for the Silver Fir[00:05:08]

The Firs of course[00:05:12]

Then came next[00:05:14]

With Heather at her most[00:05:19]

Passionate[00:05:29]

The White Poplar's gift to the souls of the dead[00:05:31]

A promise that it was not the end[00:05:38]

But for the vine the "U" it's coffer[00:05:43]

Vowels and consonants[00:05:46]

The power of trees[00:06:02]

The power they hold[00:06:11]

The power of prose[00:06:13]

So when the church[00:06:18]

Began to twist the old myths[00:06:21]

They built their own Tower of Babel[00:06:24]

From Ulster to Munster[00:06:30]

The Reed gave way then[00:06:36]

To the Elder[00:06:52]

The Earth turns her will[00:07:00]

So that night follows day[00:07:03]

From dawn to dawn[00:07:06]

Fom Winter to Winter[00:07:12]

At day the Ash had power over the Alder[00:07:13]

Our language of love[00:07:23]

The Battle of Trees[00:07:44]

We fought side by side[00:07:48]

Then he said to me:[00:08:01]

"I've dodged bullets and even poisoned arrows[00:08:03]

Only to be foiled by the blade of a vowel"[00:08:04]
