There is a voice beneath the ground Vibration turning into sound The alchemy of drum and flame Echoing the very same Dancers spinning in the dark Rhythm speaks in every spark Our hearts sing with ancestral tone The voice of sea and wind and stone We bear the mark You cannot take it We are the dark You will not shake it We are the song You can’t restrain We are the strong We shall remain Echoing from cliff and canyon Rumbling in wild abandon Mystery of dance and blaze Harkening to older days Voices calling in the night Sacred whisper burning bright We carry in our hearts the song Hallowed chant that makes us strong Unleash the hymn into the storm Ancient voice now taking form Lightning strikes to light the sky Tempest raging at the lie Pouring down upon the plain Symphony of falling rain Elemental voice, eternal cry Summons us to wonder why If the answer is hate and fear The sky now bathes us all with tears

And when I’m gone don’t you go grieving It is not you that I am leaving when I’m free at last When my spirit’s passed You will find that I am all around you I am the earth beneath your feet I am the sky above the street I am the wind that shakes the trees I am the crashing of the seas I am your heartbeat in the night I am darkness, I am light Raise your eyes and feel the sunlight Don’t dim the candle, let it shine bright when I’m free at last When my spirit’s passed You will find that I am all around you I am the earth beneath your feet I am the sky above the street I am the wind that shakes the trees I am the crashing of the seas I am your heartbeat in the night I am darkness, I am light You will never walk alone I will wait till you reach home I am the earth beneath your feet I am the sky above the street I am the wind that shakes the trees I am the crashing of the seas I am your heartbeat in the night I am darkness, I am light

Night Queen 05:56
I steal away in cloak of night Running from the harsh daylight Shadowed paths now to walk Shadowed voices now to talk Mysteries of drum and fire (Heartbeat in the night) Beauty, pain and dark desire (And it feels so right) Caress of starlight on my cheek (Reaching deep within) From the Night Queen I now seek (Feel you on my skin) Queen of Night Beauty bright Dawn of darkness End of light Wings of ebon floating down (And she wraps them round me) Onyx in her silver crown (And now I am happy) Velvet cloak of swirling night (Hidden from the day) Radiant with points of light (Sorrow melts away) Into her arms I send my soul Rinse the burns to make me whole Midnight elixir on my skin Healing me from deep within Dance your path across the land (And now I will follow) Starlight trailing from your hand (Filling every hollow) Shield us from the burning bright (Dreamers in your hand) Dawn of darkness, end of light (Peace upon our land)

More than shadows here tonight Flicker in the firelight More than echoes in the wind More than breezes touch our skin Pass the horn and sing the praise Of those who walked in older days Stand before the fire bright Hail the Dead this Samhain night Hail the Ancestors with me Hail the Friends and Family Hail the Spirits, Hail the Souls Hail the night that makes us whole Draw them here across the Veil Sing their praise and tell their tale See the faces in the flames Hear the voices, call the names Pour libations to the ground Fill the night with joyous sound Stand before the fire bright Hail the Dead this Samhain night Hail the Ancestors with me Hail the Friends and Family Hail the Spirits, Hail the Souls Hail the night that makes us whole They live in more than memory The Veil so thin that we can see The friends and loves that we long for Are waiting on the other shore Remember why we gather here At the closing of the year Stand before the fire bright Hail the Dead this Samhain night

Children of the Earth Blessed is our tread In hope do we walk In hope do we walk For we will light the way We will light the way Though the night is dark We will bring the day We will light the way We will light the way Though the night is dark We will bring the day Children of the Earth Blessed is our step In love do we dance In love do we dance For we will light the way... Children of the Earth Blessed are our hands In hope do we shape In hope do we shape For we will light the way... Children of the Earth Blessed is our touch In love do we heal In love do we heal For we will light the way... Children of the Earth Blessed is our voice In hope do we sing In hope do we sing For we will light the way... Children of the Earth Blessed are our drums In hope do we play In hope do we play
