Trees 04:39
Trees, trees are wondrous things Leaves and flowers flutter in the breeze Twisting and turning into the sky Spiralling up into the night. Centuries marked upon these trees Mystical stories unfold in the wind Golden leaves they shower the sky Sunlight beams through them as they twirl and fly.

Sun Queen 04:56
Leafy green, ever the Spring Queen Comes to my door Blossom of snow what do you know In your own heart? Rainbows of dew sparkling new As ever before Now we are here joy sheds a tear Time come to start we're falling apart 'Cos you're never alone Feel it grow in the bone Warm breath of fellows unseen From an inch to an hour Like a ripening flower Pulse from a stem To a wakening dream. Sun Queen, shimmering downstream Dazzle my soul in a daydream, Sun Queen, shimmering downstream Dazzle my soul. Sister come slowly where your soil is loamy Your wish is my desire Your love I kindle like flax round a spindle Come let me sit by your fire Let me stir tenderly your cauldron of memory And warm up the love in your heart Let me cook millet in your copper skillet And taste of it, lest we forget That you're never alone Sun Queen, shimmering downstream Dazzle my soul in a daydream, Dazzle my soul, Queen of the maybe summertime.

Blood Mother 05:22
I wanna crumble into your dust Drown in your seas Burn up with your desire Blow away in your breeze. The chattering stones and gurgling streams The warmth of the sun and the caressing breeze You are my Blood, Blood Mother. Red is the colour of the river of life Black is your body there are stars in your eyes Deep in your womb my spirit is sleeping Deep in my heart your spirit is stirring Put it in the pot fill the thing up You know there's enough to fill everyone's cup (up) Blood Mother.

Cailleach 04:36
Little boy sitting at the window Watching the world go by Somewhere out in Srebrenica Another boy has to die Watching the sky as the clouds turn to rain Wondering if it has to be this way Again and again Chorus: Cailleagh... Mother of all The night crow comes To show us our world Cailleagh... come when we call The night crow comes To purify our souls. /us all (on last verse) Mama crow sitting on the rooftop Watches the world with one eye Spreading out her feathered wings She utters a warning cry Look deep within to investigate the cause She will change everything, we can but do That which is ours. (Chorus) Om kang Kalika Nama Om

Sarajevo 03:37
In Sarajevo the people are dying, Oh no The children and mothers are dying, Oh no In Sarajevo the men with guns are killing At Medjugorye she warned us all (Chorus) Sarajevo, Siskei, Somalia In Siskei the people are dying, Oh no The children and mothers are dying, Oh no In Siskei the men with guns are killing At Medjugorye Mary asked we pray (Chorus) In Somalia the people are dying, Oh no The children and mothers are dying, Oh no In Somalia the men with guns are killing Oh the Queen of heaven, she warned us all

Hazelwood 04:38
I went out to the hazelwood Because a fire was in my head And I cut and trimmed a hazel wand And hooked a berry to a thread And when white moths were on the wing And moth-like stars were flickering out I dropped a berry in a stream And caught a little silver trout And when I laid it on the floor And went to blow the fire aflame Something rustled on the floor And someone called me by my name It had become a glimmering girl With apple blossoms in her hair Who called me by name and ran And faded through the brightening air Now when I'm old from wandering Through hollow lands and hilly lands I will find out where she has gone And kiss her lips and take her hands And walk among tall dappled grass And pluck till time and times are done The silver apples of the moon The golden apples of the sun.

Manannan 02:41
Watching the mist come rolling in Tracing soggy circles on the mossy ground Making tea at my grandad's hearth Listening out for the pixie's laugh Manannan The compass point turns round and round Will we ever be found Standing stone on barren ground Point us home from the pixie's path Manannan Falling rain on iron road Bring me a chariot to carry my load Take us home for tea and for buns And happy tell-tales of pixie land Manannan Guardian of the summerland

Wych Elm 06:17
I told him 'No don't cut the Wych elm down She's been standing in the forest at the gateway to our town Since the men in black with their wooden crosses came' Bella was a woman who lived in our village Healing the sick and tending her land Every child born owed its life to our Bella My first breath was drawn by the touch of her hand Don't put your axe against her I swear that she will bleed Woodsman she's a woman leave her in peace' Came there a young man down to our village Clothes black as night-time with eyes bright and cold The folk of the village he loved as a priest loves But Bella he loved as a young man brave and bold I cannot be yours I belong to the Earth sir You cannot be mine you are sworn to the sky Take heed of your vows priest the Gods cannot be cheated Not even by a heart that is deceived by the eye Your words gentle Bella they mark me for callow And I swear by the Christ now so mark my words well If you will not love me you'll go to none other As a witch you will burn I consign thee to Hell She's guarded by God and by powers unknown If you value your life/(soul) woodsman leave her alone On the eve of All Hallows as Bella was dancing In the light of her beacon - naked and free Out from the darkness a priest came a-walking Bella tonight you will lie here with me The ground underneath them it growled and trembled The couple were shaken and Bella broke free And when the quake was over the clearing was empty The priest stood alone 'twixt a fire and a tree Gone is the woodsman gone from this village Here in the forest I now walk alone In the clearing the Wych elm still stands by the river In the grass lies an axe and a pillar of stone

Messiah 02:49
Many mouths say Messiah, Messiah when will come He will rise by the standing stones Rise by the rising Sun King Many mouths say the Mother The Mother she comes soon She was born with the pregnant earth Rise with the waxing Moon Mother, Maya Mother Many mouths say the child The child when will come (repeat) The child is born in all of us For now our time has come

Merry Meet 02:33
May the circle be open yet unbroken May the love of God and Goddess be ever in your heart Merry meet, merry part, merry meet again.

about

This album is dedicated to the spirit of the land, our ancient heritage, which is the inspiration for all our music. It is a prayer for the restoration of the Goddess to her rightful place, in true balance with the divine male principle, so that we may dance our dreams awake in the wild open spaces in between.... We wish to heal our alignment with this beautiful planet through music and dance, to balance Male and Female, Earth and Heaven, Sun and Moon, Spirit and Matter.
