Spirit of Albion |
An isle so fair, a isle so green, known by many names. |
Feel the pulse, the pulse of the land, |
Blood boils within your veins. |
Someone go down to the Holy Well and raise the Spirits there! |
Lay a feather on a stone, with a flame, and a lock of hair. |
Chorus: |
The Crane, the wolf, the bear and the boar, |
No longer dwell upon these shores, |
You say that the Goddess and God have gone, |
Well I tell you they live on! |
For in the cities and hills, |
And in circles of stone, |
The voices of the Old Ways, |
The Spirit of Albion is calling you home! |
From Manwydden’s crashing sea, |
To the moor and the Highland Glen. |
From the Faerie Hills, home of the Sidhe, |
To the veins of the Broad and the Fen. |
Someone go down to the Holy Trees |
Of Oak and Ash and Thorn! |
Utter a charm in the verse of three, |
Till the Summer King is born! |
Ride the white horses carved into the hills, |
Walk to the Hanging Stones. |
Bow to the might of Cerne Abbass' height, |
Feel the peace in the Ancestors' homes. |
Someone go down to Wilmington |
Where the Giant guards the way! |
Step into the Otherworld, into the womb, |
Where centuries pass like a day! |
