Beyond the gates I see my father
Beyond the gates I see my mother
There I see the line of my people
Going back to the dawn of time
Beyond the gates I see my sister
Beyond the gates I see my brother

Going back to the dawn of time
I will take my place among them
I will drink of life everlasting
I will live in the Halls of the Mighty
Until the end of time - Track Name: Come All Who Hunger

chorus:
In the cave of destiny, She spins, She weaves, She cuts.
Our fate is fashioned by these Three, She spins, She weaves, She cuts.
Verses:
Whether we walk with light or heavy tread,
Our lives flow from the end of Her silken thread.
In the den of the Wise,
Her shuttle 'cross our tapestry flies.
When the pattern is done,
She cuts the threads of life that were spun. - Track Name: Morrigan Chant
-
Bansidhe, Bansidhe, keening at the well
Who do you claim as you loose the gates of Hell
The souls of the slain called from your shrieking lips
Your chosen plucked form life with icy fingertips
Oh screaming hag that rides the wind, bring my love to me
For I would see his face again on this Hallows Eve
You wash the soul right from the skin, deliver us from life
Our spirits are renewed in the velvet womb of night

Morrigan of the raven wing, yours the song the slain do sing
Mighty queen of forgotten things, open up the gate - Track Name: Prayer for the Dead

Ereshkigal, Ereshkigal, keeper of the sorrows
Ereshkigal, Ereshkigal of the burning eye
Ereshkigal, I call to you when life turns dark and barren

For holding the sorrows of aeons gone by
