Rob Nelson - Hecate's Theft lyrics
Your rating:
The moonrise through the poplars With leaves of dark and bright Blurs the division between the earth and sky tonight You are coming full and strong To the throne where you belong As you race from east to west And call your children from their rest Stars bow to your glowing face Wolves call to your ancient grace Humankind the last to rise You greet their eager eyes Hecate, yours the healing hand A force of good in every land Your Nile flood, annual rite Source of Egypt's reign of might Was you who came to light the way As Persephone returned to day Societies growing strong Learn to sort right from wrong But we can't help looking back On our dark and ancient track Who are we, or better, why? What fuels the flame in our eyes? That's when we see another side To this goddess perched astride The bridge to our shrouded past We call to her at last (Chants, instrumental break) Once again she shines our way Mothers sing and children play Now we're sure of where we are Waiting for the bright dog star We think it's time for us to chart With all our wisdom, all our art Our rightful place in this land We boldly make our stand As it is no one can hide From the rush of time and tide The Bard's King Lear and Caesar's cry Get called back to the nighttime sky No cities, dreams or plans we've made Can keep us from her growing shade When we're still we always find Her eclipse in our minds While Luna fell through the yew trees Yielding night to day My only shining star was fading away
