A Pagan Lament lyrics

The Horned God guards this special night Our breasts sparkled by the flickering light We lie by the Beltane fires As sunlight fades As one with all nature's beasts Pagan gods rise Let us now feast On our desires The great Earth-Mother, the god with horns Heathendom we praise Our nakedness the sky adorns With silver moonlights glaze My body seems enslaved Next to the fire, I'm falling down I feed my heart, for what it craves Witchcraft flows free 'neath midnight's gown A prophet sober, a festering heart A loving whore tears us apart A cross for the fire, and our gods depart By the fire we lie Ecstasy beneath the sky Dance around, nature-bound, one with the galaxy Celebrate the first of May with fertility All witches gather for the great mother And one upon an oaken throne Fair maiden, walk by my side Jump the fire and be my bride Our faithful coven grants us a year Wed by nature we'll be Listen! Whence he came he bore the cross And with it came what he told of, what he held as dearest: His god And this strange harbinger, he had eyes glowing with fire When he told of god's glorious empire And we were lost The cross's shadow silenced all the laughter in the woods All our love It denied all our ancient gods And wiped us... Away!
