lyrics

So at the end of the story
You wonder where is the glory
He knew his plan was ambitious
And that his murder was vicious

Ain’t no harvest coming in
Next year the people growin’ thin
And then they’ll turn on their Lord
The man that they once adored

In Summerisle
The wicker man is burning
Howie did not know any better until he ended up stuck, just his luck

A new day is dawning
Lord Summerisle’s yawning
He’s thinking of tomorrow
There ain’t no room for sorrow

And there’s still a sea plane there
But the villagers don’t care
As long as they’ve got their fruit
Howie will be getting the boot

In Summerisle
The wicker man is burning
I wonder if it’s something that they do each year

He was looking for a missing girl, but instead he found his destiny
Death by a wicker man
Who’s gonna gain from this sacrifice
Now Howie’s gone and it’s too late he was sentenced to a martyr’s fate
Death by a wicker man
They all conspired to have Howie fired

He was looking for a missing girl, but instead he found his destiny
Death by a wicker man
Who’s gonna gain from this sacrifice
Howie’s gone and it’s too late he was sentenced to a martyr’s fate
Death by a wicker man
They all conspired to have Howie fired

Howie’s gone and it’s too late he was sentenced to a martyr’s fate
Death by a wicker man
They all conspired to have Howie fired
