Kindred Spirits

Through the starless night time air they glide Beyond the valley to the mountainside Bright colored haze of luminosity Enigma from which mortal senses flee Open your inner eye and you will truly see Leave this walking world and dare, dare to dream Echoes of the Sidhe - Resounds eternally Echoes of the Sidhe - Reverberates in tragedy Prophets of doom or people of the light? Contradictory theories, who is wrong, who is right? Our mortal existence is but a blink of the eye To those who are perennial and rarely do die Bow your heads in shame, you who desecrate You who violate our sacred seats of power Your actions alone have sealed your fate An ancient curse will stalk your life for ever more

Accept the challenge, to contest for this soil Victory will come, with blood sweat and toil Knife through the waves, a province to claim Defeat unacceptable, can't live with the shame Sever the word hand, hurt to the shore Infamous sacrifice of legend and lore Anointed in blood, an ill-omened fate? Strife without end which nothing can sate Rise above that, which divides us True love for this land must sustain Bow to the goddess both planter and gael True love for our land must sustain Lámh Dearg - Raise the red hand high Lámh Dearg - Abu Lámh Dearg - Ulaidh Go Brea Lámh Dearg - Abu Conflict, oppression, atrocity, pain Dwell in the past with nothing to gain A bloody hand to unite us, lessen the strife A true king who takes this land as his wife A hero reborn from an age now past by Who embraces the truth and never will lie Adapt to the paradox we have become Accept that the evils can't be undone Embrace the future, learn from the past Unite the clans, the die have been cast

Extinguish all flame, ritually renew Arise with the morning, gather the dew Fire on the water, healing our ills Cast spells of protection, gather your will Call calm from the waters, the Earth and the sky Invoke the patrons of kin and of tribe Banish ill fortune, put paid to all pain The circle keeps turning again and again Sunwise in the circle turn, twin fires of better turn Skyclad, to the beat of the drum Twin fires of Beltine burn Sun and moon, Earth and stars, twin fires of Beltíne burn A new dawn heralds the triumph Cold winter melts away Aeonghas Magóg Agus Anú On this day hold sway Make love in the forests, cavort in the fields Anoint the blossom, increase the yield Give toast to the gods and imbibe the wine An Cailleach transformed to maiden divine The rhythms of the seasons The cycles of the moon Feel the power of the elements Sun shines on you As the sun shines down on you By Oak, give strength By Rowan, grant magic By Hazel, bestow wisdom Spring from winter's darkness Into invigorating light And bathe in the warmth of the summer sun Faoi dair, labhair neart Faoi caorthann, deontas draiochta Faoi coll, bhronnadh eagna Earraigh ó dorchadas gheiinhridh isteach i solas briomhar Agus folcadh sa teas na grêine tsamhraidh

The beast of pride has awoken in me Tremble now for my rage knows no bounds And though my limbs, they tremble with fatigue And throbbing pain battles my desire I invoke the fur within And hold fast to my iron will And though you stand before me I will know thee not Of fear and fury, fear and fury I'm possessed Odds insurmountable I face Drowning in a flood of fear Visions of mortality and loss The craven cancer consumes The bards they speak of heroes pure Who stand up tall and conquer fear Invincible, in thought and deed The calm amid the ebb and flow Trust not in hope for it, is a dangerous thing Dare not to dream for shattered hope devastates Believe in the toil which has prepared you for this day Put bridle to rage, nerve and skill will see you safe In my mind's eye, I recall All that I have known I reflect upon the legend of he who stood alone Summon Cu Chulainn's spirit, so I may make it home

Deep they dug, the giant's grave stood alone Ravenous for profit, they coldly quarried all the stone They sneered at the whispers of ancient magic They launched as they counted their ill gotten gain But the gods of the land, unconquered Spoke with elemental clarity A reminder of the true power That endures beneath our feet And from the depths the waters Flowed and rose and rose again And drowned the dreams of those who did not believe

Bisected by an icy wind, assaulted by the snow In battle with the elements, whichever way I go Blinded by remorseless glare, relentless summer sun Rain lashed intermittently resilience the key I have flown uncontrolled through the astral plain Exhilarating pleasure, a prelude to pain With numerous diversions, upon my pathway stand Knowledge is my quest, of astral self and land And rocky is the path, well trodden by me Fly with me this night, see what I can see And rocky is the path, well trodden by me Take me by the hand see what I can see Adapting ancient ways, absorbed in new beliefs Systematic infiltration, secret shrouded supplication Hysteria looms with menace Spawned of poisoned tongues Meticulous misinformation, velvet gloved manipulation Embrace the sorrow, lie down with the pain Master emotion, cast off all shame

An ominous grey blanket moves with case across the sky And I, sat here, I wish that I could fly If wishes were nations, then it's I who'd rule the world My subjects mankind? I'd scatter and hurl! Embrace the words of wisdom, thus fill the armory Sharpened tongues like keenest edge cuts so deep Rip down the hall of mirrors with subtlety and guile Re-humanize mankind from role of sheep Immortal am I - No fire, no sun, nor moon shall burn Immortal am I - No water, no lake, nor sea shall grown I will weep not, like the willow tree, relentless in my aim Ascension towards divinity, no remorse, guilt or shame And while I rise, I leave behind Ideas of mundane conscience The fickle wants of humankind Presents to me a nonsense Infantile, the children rape And in a frenzy feed Some people cry for vengeance But there will be no need Reprisals will be merciless Of this there is no doubt Negligence, the vilest crime But I will find you out

Scarlet, foreboding, deadliest of signs The dawn drips blood on the day of doom The stars above, they flicker threatening to fall Dreaded sense of fear consuming us all The stars they paint pictures in the night time sky Those who watch, with trepidation, rightly recognize A foul formed misalignment, this can be no lie A morbid prediction of our impending demise Erdath - End of days Erdath - Eiireann drowns The sun boils as the tides turn The seas rise as the winds howl Fires rage from the Earth below The land sinks into the waves The fires of destruction relentlessly it burns As it licks the western ocean with it's savage red tongue A catastrophic conflagration sweeps across the land Devastating touch of fates all consuming hand In caves on mountain summits we must endure Rebirth of mankind in the druid's hands Knowledge gathered since the dawn of days A legacy of hope for those who have survived Held upon the day that will surely come When the lands arise from beneath the waves

Who are you? What dwells within? Collective memory borne of kin Transcend the animal instinctively bred Question, ponder then ascend Seek out the energies, ancient, profound Assemble together, upon hallowed ground Recite the lore, in memory preserve Homage to the deities that each of us serve We are kindred of spirit Our thoughts are as one Like mountains we stand We are never alone We see magic in the sunrise We see magic in the trees As the bud it turns to blossom We feast upon it's yield And as time rolls by Flowing like eternal streams Our bonds transcend the centuries An everlasting tie Replenish the Earth for the gifts So easily taken away Plant deep the seeds Lest they wither in the sun Free your will and elevate Listen to your heart Let truth emerge from darkness Casting light upon our way With courage in our hearts we face The judgement of the soulless ones The land pulsates beneath our feet Energizing those who seek
