lyrics

As I'm dragged out to the sunset
I let out a final yell
Why can't you just let me go
I promise I'll never tell

Nothing left, out of time
Tried to save the girl!
Think of what you're doing
Have mercy on my soul

I'll fight for my right to worship
Fight for my right to pray
My belief in God the King
Ended on May Day
Yah
Oh it was May Day

Save yourself, they told me
Before it hits the fan
Now that it has surely hit
A sorry man I am

Dragged up to the Wicker Man
Before a screaming crew
Summerisle, you got me
But next year they'll get you

Nothing left, out of time
Tried to save the girl!
Think of what you're doing
Have mercy on my soul

I'll fight for my right to worship
Fight for my right to pray
My belief in God the King
Ended on May Day
Yah

I've paid my bill at the Green Man inn
And I haven’t left a tip
Jumped inside my plane it didn't start
Don't know where the fuel gauge is

How'd you construct that Wicker Man
Out of nought but sticks and twigs
Standing on the hill it's quite a feat
Must have taken you ages

Nothing left, out of time
Tried to save the girl!
Think of what you're doing
Have mercy on my soul

I'll fight for my right to worship
Fight for my right to pray
My belief in God the King
Ended on May Day
Yah

And it was May Day
Nothing left, out of time
Tried to save the girl!
Think of what you're doing
Have mercy on my soul

I'll fight for my right to worship
Fight for my right to pray
My belief in God the King
Ended on May Day

And it was May Day
Nothing left, out of time
Tried to save the girl!
Think of what you're doing
Have mercy on my soul

I'll fight for my right to worship
Fight for my right to pray
My belief in God the King
Ended on May Day
Yah
