- Track Name: Force of Nature
-
hail to the summer sky
blazing fierce immortal eye
hail to the fire, burning in the earth
hail to the wind that blows
alive beneath the wings of crows
blessed be the mighty force of nature
hail to the water fall
feeds the spring that keeps us all
hail to the standing stones that fill our hearts with awe
hail to the stars above
hail to the strength of love
blessed be the mighty force of nature
I lift my glass to you mighty force of nature - Track Name: Take Your Spirit Down
-
Take your spirit down, grow branches, grow branches
Send your love around, grow branches, grow branches
(Down, down down in to the ground)
Gather at you center, all you've ever been
In your belly plant the seed of life that dwells within
Send it down into the ground to link with Mother's heart
Where many does become the one by magick's ancient art
Take your spirit down, grow branches, grow branches
Send your love around, grow branches, grow branches
(Down, down down into the ground)
Down until you meet the molten core inside the Earth
Reaching ever to her like death into rebirth
Share your love, your thanks, your tears,
The joy of sweet release
And draw her strength inside of you
Soothing you with peace
Take your spirit down, grow branches, grow branches
Send your love around, grow branches, grow branches
(Down, down down into the ground) - Track Name: Tipping Point

Blessed be, you Gods and Mortals,
Blessed be, you inner fire.
Blessed be, you Crown of Brightness
Blessed be, you heart's desire.
We were waiting for a Turning,
Then we saw it was our lives.
When our hearts with heat are burning,
Like the sun in flight we rise!
Blessed be, you Gods and Mortals,
Blessed be, you inner fire.
Blessed be, you Crown of Brightness
Blessed be, you heart's desire - Track Name: Shining Twins
-
Hail! To the Golden Ones.
Hail! To your Shining Brightness
Hail! To the earth below and the lands beyond our eyes.
Freyr and Freya we honor you,
King and Queen of elf and wight
Bright powers dance among us here
We gift you the kiss of life!
Gorgeous brother, can you feel the power rise,
As the bells caress our dancing feet?
Gorgeous sister, I will lay my body down,
We will worship at the sacred feast! - Track Name: Hail Brigid
-
Hail Brigid of the triple face
Who's voice does rise on the lilt of grace
Who's blossoms beautiful ever bloom
On the wings of poetry's sweet perfume - Track Name: Briar Rose

Life is the light in the heart of the rose 2x
Rise, sleeper, kiss me and open,
Rise, sleeper, and dream no more.

-
I will follow my heart into love everlasting.
Follow my heart in the heat of the flame.
Follow my heart into quenching, clear water
Follow my heart and back again.
The serpent rises from the well.
The serpent speaks in cunning ear.
All the powers of fluid grace
Grants to she who lingers here.
You are my daughter and ere shall be,
Though time and tide may shift the shore.
The honeyed tongue of the poet speaks
Light, the draught you onward seek.
The serpent leads to inward space.
The serpent bites, a potent kiss.
The journey beckons into darkness,
Drive not forth the lightning?s bliss.
You, the one all time has sought.
You, the metal and the ground.
Go you forth and speak the calling,
Crowned in silver, beauty bound. - Track Name: Frey and Freya
-
Hail to Freya, beauty of the North
Seer of the hidden realms within
Whose golden braids entwine the hearts of lovers
Be welcome, lusty queen of wild things
Hail to Frey, king of the Bright Ones
Whose fortune glows amber all around
Scent of pine, Keeper of the forests
Be welcome, Lord of Elves, and claim your crown - Track Name: Joys of Springtime
-
Awake, awake!
From the frosty spell of winter

Her brittle hair has turned to gold

Huzzah for the joys of springtime! - Track Name: The Maypole
-
Come out, come out, it’s the first of May
Time to join in lovers play
Lets bind our yearnings to the pole
Let’s revel in Her lusty soil
Over and under, around and around
Weaving a web of desire
Over and under, around and around
Let the King and the Queen of the May be crowned - Track Name: Heart's Desire

Jewel of warmth, jewel of the sun
And the blossoming of spring has begun

Sing for the ripening of the apples
Rejoice for the King and his bountiful Wife! - Track Name: Gwion Bach

Find the hidden stone
Deep in shadowed caverns
Carved into the throne

Reborn I am as art
The jewel of selfhood blazes
In my crowned and conquering heart - Track Name: Promethian Heirs

We burn with the power of a million stars.
We turn with the cycles of the fertile earth.
We burn with the power of a million stars.

We are children of great promise.
We dance the light out from the dark. - Track Name: Rising of Breath

May our work be open to love.
