lyrics

In shades of white and what I’ve been Rise my blood in between Comes my love Belenus, my Jack in the Green In these colours for the mother I’ll be Against the oak and by the fever Around the pole and by the trees Come my Jack, come to me And we will be forever Green And around and around and around and around The May dance and the colours abound And around and around and around and around Queen of May and this love I found By hearts fire the fates She weaves My darling Jack comes so unseen My darling flower bud like dreams Holly to my arms and the Queen I’ll be For my frith and in fever I lie Around the poles I spin delight My Jack comes and dances with me And lays me down that only I may see And around and around and around and around The May dance the colours abound And around and around and around and around Queen of May and this love I found And I am maiden no more In the forest through hidden doors And I am maiden no more Sweet mother sweet mother Near this dance the wights draw And around and around and around and around The May dance the colours abound And around and around and around and around Queen of May and this love I found

The Mirror 02:55
lyrics

Like whispered bands In morning light The mirror I see in you With a new sight Wrapped in golden silk These ringed hands The mirror I see in me O’er new lands Bless’ed twin flames In the darkest night The mirror of the mirror Cast the longest light We’re what the mirror sees Reflecting all of you In reflecting me. We’re what the mirror sees Reflecting all of you In reflecting me. We’re what the mirror sees Reflecting all of you In reflecting me. Like our stolen kiss Under the ‘neath tree The mirror I see in you The mirror I see in me

lyrics

Vanaheim Home Cut the wood and bind the grain Such a sweeter refrain Over the Vale my distrain The lonely drummer beats Vanaheim, vanaheim, vanaheim Home Rest weary in a shady haunts Her voice calls to gaily dance With my sisters and our thoughts The drummer beats again Vanaheim, vanaheim, vanaheim Home Though I would watch in dead of night By fire a guard’s respite The wild hunt comes such sweet delight The drummer beats this song Vanaheim, vanaheim, vanaheim Home One rider stopped and said to me “Do you seek to ride so free?” I confessed I had no memory And the drummer beats this song Vanaheim, vanaheim, vanaheim Home So up I rise and mount a steed Welcome brothers of every creed The hunt is all we’ll ever need Let the drummer beat his song Vanaheim, vanaheim, vanaheim Home So now I ride through every night And sleep through harsh daylight I gather men and their wights As the drummer beats this song Vanaheim, vanaheim, vanaheim Home Vanaheim, vanaheim, vanaheim Home The drummer beats again Vanaheim, vanaheim, vanaheim Home
