Toadstone

The toadstone, also known as bufonite (from Latin bufo, "toad"), is a mythical stone or gem that was thought to be found in the head of a toad. It was supposed to be an antidote to poison and in this it is like batrachite, supposedly formed in the heads of frogs. Toadstones were actually the button-like fossilized teeth of Lepidotes, an extinct genus of ray-finned fish from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. They appeared to be "stones that are perfect in form" and were set by European jewellers into magical rings and amulets from Medieval times until the 18th century. more »

Whispers carried on the breeze 
The horned god was stalking through the trees 
The young lord was chanting ancient lore 
Invoking the gods that came before 

Speak your name again 
Oh great god pan 
Reveal dark truths to me 
Speak your name again 
Oh great god pan 
Show me strange mysteries 
Speak your name again 
Unlock the door 

In the woodlands of his god 
The frith where built his sacred lodge 
In honour of the mighty faun 
The piper at the gates of dawn 

Speak your name again 
Oh great god pan 
Reveal dark truths to me 
Speak your name again 
Oh great god pan 
Show me strange mysteries 

Seeking archaic gods 
The long lost ancient ones 
Seeking archaic gods 
Dark secrets at the lodge 

Hold his statue high 
"Highgates!" the pagans cried 
Hold the statue high 
And danced long through the night 

Io Pan! Io Pan! 
Pan! Pan! 
Io Pan! 
Io Pan! Io Pan! 
Pan! Pan! 
Io Pan! 

But the gods could not share the villagers souls 
And Christ usurped the horned god of old 
The vicar, he took the idol and laid 
Old pan to rest in an unmarked grave
