Long ago, ran the sun on a folk who had a dream,
And the heart, and the will, and the power:
They moved earth, they carved stone, moulded hill and channeled stream
That we might stand on the wide plains of Wiltshire.

Now men asked who they were, how they built and wonder why
That they wrought standing stones of such size
What was done 'neath our shade? What was pray'ed 'neath our skies
As we stood on the wyrd plains of Wiltshire

Oh, what secrets we could tell, if you'd listen and be still
Rid the stink and the noise from our skirts
But you haven't got the clue, and perhaps you never will
Mute we stand, on the cold plains of Wiltshire.

Still we loom in the mists, as the ages roll away
And we say of our folk, "They are here!"
That they built us, and they died, and you'll not be knowing why
Save we stand on the bare plains of Wiltshire.
