lyrics

John Dee is king of crows
A shaman in his parson’s clothes
Like a man possessed of the ancient hell
John Dee is king of crows

John Dee is king of crows
Arrives with gifts of cross and rose
As he walks the streets of Leadenham
He is your magic man

John Dee is king of crows
A druid of the Templar stone
Buried beneath the heath and sand
He is our magic man.

John Dee is king of crows
Elizabethan lord who knows
Who St. Swithun lost to Baphomet
John Dee is king of crows

John Dee is king of crows
His sign is carved in stone and snow
Above the heath of Leadenham
He is our magic man

John Dee is king of crows John Dee is king of crows
John Dee is king of crows John Dee is king of crows
John Dee is king of crows John Dee is king of crows
