Unicorn
The hunter stood beside me
Who
blew that mighty horn.
I saw that he was hunting
The gentle
unicorn.
But the unicorn is noble
He
knows his gentle birth
He knows that God has chose him above
All beast on
Earth.
He's placed on a ledge that climbs.
The ledge that climbs high in the
sky.
It sparkles and shimmers a gleam so wide
The unicorns roam and
rare-up high
They are God's special creatures
And live a righteous
life.
For they fear no man and scorn
their dart.
And only a virgin's magic power shall tame their haughtly
heart.

THE LAST
UNICORN
When the last eagle flies over last, crumbling
mountain,
And the last lion roars, at the last, dusty fountain,
In the
shadow of the forest, though she may be old and worn,
They will stare,
unbelieving, at the Last Unicorn.
When the first breath of winter,
through the flowers is icing,
And you look to the north, and the pale moon
is rising,
And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to
mourn
In the distance, hear the laughter of the Last Unicorn,
I'm
alive...I'm alive...
When the last moon is cast over the last star of
morning,
And the future has past without even a last, desperate warning,
Then look into the sky where through the clouds a path is formed
Look and
see her, how she sparkled, it's the Last Unicorn,
I'm alive...I'm
alive...

THE
PROPHECY OF THE TRUE HORN
Into
darkness will I fade,
Into a night that Man has made,
But through that
gloom shall gleam the Sun
When I am lost, and again am won.
Release!
Release! I call to thee
In the New Lands across the sea;
Let another, on
narrow pathways, come to me.
Furthest and Highest,
Yet not beyond
reach.
Choose thou well a path that will teach
How the Sunken is
raised
And Emptiness filled
And a wandering heart
Can finally be
stilled.
Seek the Great Stone! Mark it well, with a sign,
That the
one who shall follow
Shall see it is mine,
And, seeing, shall ponder and
certainly know
As the Ancients have writ: "As Above, so Below."
And I
shall guard the Source of Greatness;
Waiting by a teardrop
>From
neither joy nor sorrow born,
In silver bound, beneath the ground,
I am
the Spiral Horn.

The
Unicorn
A long time
ago, when the Earth was green
There were more kinds of animals than you've
ever seen
They'd run around free while the Earth was being born
And the
loveliest of all was the unicorn
There were
green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some
chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The
loveliest of all was the unicorn
The Lord
seen some sinning and it gave Him pain
And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to
make it rain"
He says, "Hey Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Build me a
floating zoo,
and take some of those
Green
alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some
chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're
born
Don't you forget my unicorns?
Old Noah was
there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the rain
started to fall
He marched the animals two by two
And he called out as
they came through
Hey Lord,
I've got green alligators and long-necked
geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats
and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn
I just can't find no
unicorns"
And Noah
looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly
games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling
Oh, them silly
unicorns
There was
green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some
chimpanzees
Noah cried, "Close the door because the rain is falling
And we
just can't wait for no unicorns"
The ark
started moving, it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from the
rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them
away
That's why you never see unicorns to this very day
You'll see
green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some
chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're
born
You're never gonna see no unicorns.

The
Unicorns
In mythical
legend they stand alone
The most majestic creatures i've ever known
Never
sighted they fly high above
Full of passion magic grace and love
A heart of
silver precious and pure
No human can touch them, they can be sure
For
they have wings which wisk them away
To a far secret land where only they
stay
A white mane
embedded with tails
Of faries adventures and heroic males
Stories all
entrusted to this marvellous creature
Your thoughts and secrets it will never
feature
A horn which
has more meaning then gold
It could never be stolen auctioned or sold
For
it is for the one and only unicorn
Its magical gift given when
born
A Unicorns
death happenes every day
From myths and legends we all stray
Only in old
dusty books is this animal alive
Without imagination it will not
survive
