Lyrics

in.the.cool.of.the.evening...gather..
neath..adow.circling.an.old.oak.tree..
at.the.times.appointed....by.the.seasons....
of.the.earth.and.the.phases.of.the.moon..
in.the.ood.a.woman..
equal.with.the.others.and.respected.for.her.worth..
one.of.the.many.ll.the.witches..
the.healers.and.the.teachers.of.the.wisdom.of.the.earth..
and.the.people.grew.through.the.knowledge.she.gave.them..
.heal.their.bodies...make.their.spirits.whole..
can't.ya.hear.them.chanting.cantations..
calling.forth.the.wise.ones...dance.and.song....
.....isis..astarte..diana..hecate..demeter..kali....inanna.....
there.were.those..power.through.domination..
and.they..the.worship.of.a.dead.man.on.a.cross..
they.sought.control.of.mon.people.
by.demanding..the.church.of.rome..
and.the.pope.declared.quisition.
it.was.war.against.the.women..whose.powers.they.feared..
in.this.holocaust.against.the.nature.people.
nine.million.european.women.died..
and.the.tale.ld.of.those.who.by.the.hundreds..
gether..chose.their..the.sea..
while.chanting.the.praises.of.the.mother.goddess..
a.refusal.of.betrayal..women.were..ee..
.....isis..astarte..diana..hecate..demeter..kali....inanna.....
now.the.earth.is.a.witch.and.ill.burn.her..
stripping.her.down.with.mining.and.the.poisons.of.their.wars..
.us.the.earth.is.a.healer..a.teacher..a.mother..
a.weaver.of.a.web.of.light.that..all.alive..
she..the..see.through.the.chaos..
she..the.courage..it.is.our..survive.
