I can hear them floating on the wind
|
Immortal souls their weeping saddens me
|
Mother earth you know your time is near
|
Awaken lust the seed is sown and reaped
|
|
Through the western isle I hear the dead awaken
|
Rising slowing to the court of Avalon
|
The cauldron of the head of Annwyn laced with envy
|
Dark around its edge with pearl and destiny
|
|
All my days I've waited for the sign
|
The one that brings me closer to isle of Avalon
|
I can feel the power flowing through my veins
|
My heart is beating louder, close to Avalon
|
|
I can hear you, can you hear me?
|
I can feel you, can't you feel me?
|
Fertility Mother Goddess
|
Celebration, sow the seeds of the born
|
The fruit of her body laden
|
Through the corn doll
|
You will pray for them all
|
|
The image of Mother Goddess
|
Lying dormant, in the eyes of the dead
|
The sheaf of the corn is broken
|
End the harvest
|
Throw the dead of the pyre
|
|
I hear her crying the tears of an angel
|
The voices I hear in my head
|
Blessed the fruits are the corn of the earth
|
Mother earth holy blood of the dead
|
|

|
|
Mother earth I can hear you
|
Sacrifice, now united
|
|
Rising levels of the tidal lakes protect them
|
Keepers of the goddess in the underworld
|
Holding powers of the mystics, deep inside them
|
nineteen maidens, guardians of the otherworld
|
Mortal conflict born of Celtic legend
|
That apart from seven, non-returned from Avalon
|
|
Mother earth I can feel you
|
My rebirth now completed
|
|
Fertility mother goddess
|
Celebration, sow the seeds of the born
|
The fruits of her body laden
|
Through the corn doll
|
You will pray for them all
|
The image of mother goddess
|
Lying dormant, in the eyes of the dead
|
The sheaf of the corn is broken
|
End the harvest, throw the dead on the pyre
|
|
To have the belief of others
|
Looking for the Isle to
|
Show them a sign
|
Fertility of all mothers
|
Stood in silence
|
Waiting now for their turn
|
|
The gateway to Avalon
|
The island where the souls
|
Of dead are reborn
|
Brought here to die and be
|
Transferred into the earth
|
And then for rebirth
|
|
I hear her crying the tears of an
|
Angel
|
The voices I hear in my head
|
Blessed the fruits are the corn
|
Of the earth
|
Mother earth holy blood
|
of the dead
|
|
The water in rivers and rhymes
|
Rises quickly
|
Are flowing and flooding the land
|
The sea shall return once again
|
Just to hide them
|
Lost souls on the Isle of the dead
