Where are they now who raised the Stones
Passed through the veil leaving ashes and bones
A tribe, a nation, once mighty and strong
Their ghosts are now dead, their echoes long gone

What dreams did they dream, what songs did they sing
Of Lovers and Gods, of Heroes and Kings
Did they worship the Mother and honour the Land
In sacred circle, stand hand in hand

What stories were told on star-blazing nights
As they danced round the stones in moon’s sacred light
Who were their priests, to which Gods did they pray
For Sun’s kindly blessings on each Solstice Day

Did they laugh, did they sing as they cut the Bluestones
Released from the Hills by flint axe and bone
Then lifting the stones, each in its place
Silent to stand in earth’s firm embrace

Were the Stones raised in circle and by their priests blest
To receive mighty Kings to earth’s sacred rest
Were they bound to the land, to the Gods, to the Sky
To the cycle of life, to live and to die

Now we stand where they stood, in ritual and prayer
In circle with fire, with rain, earth and air
We gaze, we wonder, the how and the why
In the stillness, the long silence of reply


Where Are They Now who Raised the Stones

A gentle desert Sunrise develops into a celebration of the new Day.

Desert Dawn

Moonlight

Like a candle
A candle in the night
Shining in my darkness
Opening my sight
Blessing my Rite
In the Moonlight
The Moonlight

Reveal the Truth
So all, all may see
Waken the power in me
Set me free to be
I will be free
In the Moonlight
The Moonlight

(Chorus)
Show me the beauty of the Night
In your blessed sacred Light
Heal my heart and set me free
So I may be
Open my eyes so I may see
All the promise that’s within me
Teach me Truth and bring me Peace
And set me free
In the Moonlight
The Moonlight

Light the way
So all, all may find
Comfort and peace of mind
Set our spirits free
So we may be
In the Moonlight
The Moonlight

(Chorus)


Moonlight

Spirits Of The Forest

Labyrinth

I am the Labyrinth
Sacred is my way
Cast aside your earthly cares
Enter me and pray in the Labyrinth

Each step decides your fate
Walk the circle round
The way between the Worlds
Waiting to be found in the Labyrinth

(Chorus)
Find your way, seek the truth
The Goddess is here
Bringing you Peace in the Labyrinth

Enter to be reborn
Walk the path of Light
Each step will bring you closer
Opening your Sight in the Labyrinth

(Chorus)

Their song is forgotten
Our hearts cannot hear
The dragons and their fire now long gone
But in the deepest of night as our dreams take flight
The call of the dragon lives on

In the rage of the storm
Hear their song of lost glory
In the thunder rent skies their battle cries
In the flash of golden fire
The dragon scream of fury
For all that is now lost, no more to fly

We are dragon – flying swift as the storm
We are dragon – burning deep in our souls
We are dragon – lost in the mists of time
We are Dragon – remember us, remember us

Shadow dancer, Star Singer
As old as the stone
Once Lord of the air
Now nothing but bones
But our life blood will sing
In the rush of our wings
In our dreams the dragon lives on

In the rage of the storm
Hear their song of lost glory
In the thunder rent skies their battle cries
In the flash of golden fire
The dragon scream of fury
For all that is now lost, no more to fly

We are dragon – flying swift as the storm
We are dragon – burning deep in our souls
We are dragon – lost in the mists of time
We are Dragon – remember us, remember us

                              

We are Dragon

Lyrics are based on the ancient Gaelic Irish poem, "the Song of Amergin". My lyrics are:

I am the wind on the sea.
I am the ocean wave.
I am the raging torrent
I am the murmur of the brook.

I am the soaring hawk.
I am the gentle deer
I am the raging Boar
I am the salmon in the deep pool

I am the leveller of mountains
I am the ancient Craft
I am the victor and fallen
I am the Awen that fires your mind

I am the dew in the sunlight.
I am the fairest of flowers.
I am the mightiest of trees
I am the meaning of the Earth Song.

Chorus:
Who knows the ages of the moon, who, if not I.
Who has been to where the sun sleeps, who, if not I?
Who touches the stars and knows their song
Who, if not I.


Who, if not I (Song of Amergin)

Can you hear me, calling in the Night 
Spirit of the Land, lost to sight 
I am the answer if you know the question 
Child of the Earth they call me Pagan 

Seek in the Moonlight, Spirit of the Night 
When Sickle Moon is shining bright 
Cast the Runes by an old Oak Tree 
Then call my name and there I'll be 
I am Pagan 

By Standing Stone of Ages past, 
With Fire and Water circle cast 
Hand in Hand in Peace we stand 
To Bless the Goddess of our Land 
I am Pagan


I am Pagan

Autumn Prayer

Halloween Waltz

My Spirit flies from passing night
Over mountains, silent in the dawn
On wings of Morning, soaring to a new day
In the stillness, touching beauty
Finding Peace

I am Moon Child, in darkness born
The Keeper of the Elder Ways
I stand in shadows of yesterdays
An ancient power, rises in me.

As shadows dance ‘neath restless trees
The Spirits call and here I be
In circle cast on ancient lands
Where others once stood, now here I stand

As moon mists rise, in sacred night
I stand alone, in blessed light
I am the future and all that’s been
I am the heart that weeps unseen.

Moon Child
