STONEHENGE

Stonehenge, that mysterious circle of stones near Salisbury, England, was probably built in three stages between about 3000 and 1000 BC. The purpose of the stones remains unknown: perhaps a temple for Druids or Romans, possibly a temple for sun worshipers or even an astronomical clock or calendarof some sort. Stonehenge has been proved to have been built and remodeled over a period of approximately 1,500 years. In the 20th century archaeologists showed that work on Stonehenge began some 2,000 years before Celts and later Romans had arrived in the area.

Today it is widely believed that Neolithic peoples of the British Isles began constructing the monument about 5,000 years ago.

Stonehenge, where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Stonehenge
Where a man is a man and the children dance to
the pipes of pan
Stonehenge
Tis a magic place where the moon doth rise
With a dragon's face
Stonehenge
Where the virgins lie
And the prayer of devils fill the midnight sky

And you my love, won't you take my hand
We'll go back in time to that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow
I will take you there
I will show you how
