Rose Luckman I heard Avebury - The Journey on the Druidcast podcast, and absolutely loved it. It's great to hear a song about Avebury, a favourite place of mine, and this was lovely. I've never come across another song about Avebury, so this was wonderful. Favorite track: Avebury - The Journey.

Callanish-Sacred Moon Stood on the edge of distant Tir-na-nog Your stony fingers reach up to the sky An ink black night is pierced with sparkling stars Like diamonds morphing daylight into night Rhiannon like an arching comet rides A blazoned trail cross dark mantled sky A lunar beam fills open minds of power Draw in the tides of watery delight Chorus Oh sacred moon with light so bright Oh sacred moon shine forth tonight (rep) The cuckoo hails midsummer rising sun Stone avenues have waited all year long To feel the heat of Sol the shining one Who walks the land and all to soon is gone. Chorus Oh sacred moon so calm tonight Oh blessed moon oh lady light (rep) Over chorus. Dance naked in the moonlight As Lord Sun dies a falling ball of fire Released reborn a rising sacred moon Her silvery trail slides over Mother Earth Strong magic will a dark priest of the land Chorus Oh sacred moon ethereal light Bathing in a sea of magic tonight We dance the rite within your sight Oh sacred moon bless us tonight (rep) Over chorus. Dance naked in the moonlight

Out of mist and timeless stands a hill for all to see Such majesty across fields of green purple clover sweet Three corners came tribute now rock crystal and the stone Honed by the men who loved the land unto their very bones. Countless years of toil to rise a temple high and wide The gateway dazzling crystal white arrested Gods in flight It drew them into chambers deep, they marvelled at mans hand Struck upon the rocks inside symbols sky and land. chorus Come now across the land gather at the sacred place Go now for time is sand and soon will run away Deep inside of the womb a splinter shaft of light Will strike the sleeping God and Goddess a circle of dark and light Honour in the ancient ways our ancestors of old Drawing back the veil of time look inside living souls chorus Come now across the land gather at the sacred place Go now for time is sand and soon will run away Spirals twist then return three chambers out of sight Ashes white cradled deep all with sacred rite Oh come from lands as timeless stands this monument so great Bring open hearts and feel the hands that raised the Gods so high. chorus Come now across the land gather in the sacred place Go now for time is sand and soon will run away Come now across the land gather in the sacred place Go now for time is sand and soon will run away Join hands and celebrate meeting in the ancient ways Go now for time is sand and soon will steal your days.

Did you know and did you say that you had walked a long long way Over rolling downs through lush green grass To make your way to Avebury To make your way to Avebury Round the barrow long hold the Goddess strong Passed Silbury hill masculinity All seeing Sul will guide you there To make your way to Avebury To make your way to Avebury Did you know and did you say that you had walked a long long way Over rolling downs through lush green grass As you make your way to Avebury As you make your way to Avebury Round the barrow long holds the Goddess strong The ghostly hound will make you stare Some fifty souls were buried here As you make your way to Avebury As you make your way to Avebury Yonder is a great white hill,first a bubbling stream you'll hear Slake your thirst in waters clear As the swallow springs from Avebury As the swallow springs from Avebury Free water spirits bathe your hair Wash away all worldly care Ver will rise to sing her song As the swallow springs from Avebury As the swallow springs from Avebury King Sil he rides with fox and hare golden jingles fill the air Returns to slumber deep inside At Silbury hill in Avebury At Silbury hill in Avebury Stand atop this chalk white hill Rising up where skylarks fly Koeur surveys her pastures sweet. (Koeur hill Goddess) At Silbury hill in Avebury At Silbury hill in Avebury The ridgeway leads to sanctuary a circle ancient as the cove Deep rites are scored within the land In Mother Earth at Avebury In Mother Earth at Avebury The snake it holds its head up high Drops down to avenues unseen Where Ur has placed her naval there In Mother Earth at Avebury In Mother Earth at Avebury Ditch and bank round sarcen stones, humans pass great guardians tall Two portals watch you tread inside Step ritually in Avebury Step ritually in Avebury Three circles hold the magic strong A pagan sky temple free Ah-Ma shines silver on the cove Step ritually in Avebury Step ritually in Avebury If you have the sight to see a pivot of reality Functions in most every realm The Obelisk at Avebury The Obelisk at Avebury Powerful mighty centre stone Hold me in your memory Alchemy transcending time The Obelisk at Avebury The Obelisk at Avebury. credits released June 3, 2016 Paul Gulliver music and production.

Sacred Witchy Tree Help me sacred witchy tree I can not be here with thee Watching humans is a farce, broken hearts within your grasp Help me sacred wise old tree joining sky and earth below These are worlds that you do know these are worlds that you do know Chorus I was here before the stones I was here before the bones I was here before the cross I've been here long time lost Tree of life history hold mighty trunks are gnarled and old Lovers tryst beneath your boughs carving names in bleeding hearts Ivy strangles church and cross standing stones are smashed and lost Lift the veil and slip below lift the veil to slip below Chorus I was not the only one we were great we were love Grasping roots our branches long Standing in a circle strong Calling to me great God Bran steeped in earth since time began Dapples arms reach out to me swaying veins of mottled green Whispering spirits call me near secret language to my ear Draw me to thy portal now draw me to thy portal now Spoken word............... Chorus I stood here with raven black battle cry sword and drum Morrigan takes mankind's dead Roots are stained with life blood red Anchor deep in earths domain yew immortal will remain Ancient pillar of the realms sweet surrender to the dream Endlessly the wheel goes round mortals tread on hallowed ground Through the gate to mystery through the gate to mystery Chorus I am poison magic strong hissing snake around me twist Song bird raven owl dark crow bliss eternal by my bow Chorus I was here before the stones I was here before the bones I was here before the cross I've been here long time lost (rep)

Stonehenge Winter Solstice Prayer Kernunos you call to me Rhiannon you are my queen I look to the light am drawn to the dark Both are deep in me Rhiannon you are my queen Rhiannon you know my name You ride in the night on a stead of pure white Rhiannon you inspire me Chorus We've gathered here a thousand times to watch the sun to rise Pale is the Winter solstice light on weathered stone and eyes Kernunos you call to me From mountain and forest green Grasping the snake at underworlds gate Kernunos horned God in me The Morrigan carrion dream Dark Raven your shadow creeps On your wings is a soul born on your flight Oh! Morrigan embrace me Double chorus The dark released its icy grip ten thousand voices raised The priests and people call out loud Mabons reborn today This sceptres isle is draped in white this earth of majesty Stone temple crown of wisest ones a jewel for all to see The old ones are calling me All buried in love and peace Were laid to rest so stay to rest For all eternity Our ancestor ancient kings The guardians neath our feet Stone sentinels stand that circle our land Exalted warrior priests

The snaking river carries the song Along ceremonial avenues Past stellar cairns interned with kings Through the rolling Wiltshire down A spirit of understanding truth Flows from stone to bone to man Hear their sigh feel the bond That reaches out from time to time Chorus Lord Sol he warms my upturned face The land the stones with equal grace Approach with clarion clash and drum Walk as many walk as one The breath of summer touches throng Among the stones the revellers drum Drunk on moments filled with rites A multitude breaths sings as one Fall into the other world Spiral patterns move my hands Close your eyes feel the stones Ancients whisper on the breeze Chorus Lord Sol he warms my up turned face The land the stones with equal grace As elders leave us one by one Unwritten wealth goes to the grave Lord Sole he warms my upturned face The land the stones with equal grace So Druids stand and chant the rites Casting spells with magic staff The ravens carried on the wind A shiny feather flutters down Raven crows observing us Watch them fly above the stones Crows are swooping as clouds go by Chorus Lord Sol he warms my upturned face The land the stones with equal grace A hungry crow called petulant Is treasured by a kingly hand A solstice child danced with glee Barefoot on the sacred ground The stones look on this Pagan girl Gift the future to her hands Power surges through her feet Encapsulate as time is still As we leave she'll take our place So they'l never stand alone Chorus Lord Sole he warms my upturned face The land the stones with equal grace As mother earth and father sky embrace to make this world of ours Lord Sole he warms my upturned face The land the stones with equal grace So Druids stand and chant the rites Casting spells with magic staff Lord Sole he warms my upturned face The land the stones with equal grace Approach with clarion clash and drum Walk as many walk as one Lord Sole he warms my upturned face The land the stones with equal grace A solstice child she danced with glee The stones look on and Blessed Be Blessed Be, Blessed Be

Bryn Celli Ddu - The Dark Grove We talk of stone rings sages and kings With guardians who will guide us But how can I sing of the world and its kings When always the past invades me Hammered in snakes the landscape it makes A message in stone imparted Chorus Yn Ynys Môn there's a tomb of kings We have always known it was there The dark grove of the land The light of the shore brings pilgrims and more With offerings and care worn faces Full throated the prayers for a summer so fair Will the gods of the land still hear them? The brook close by gives freely her song To a land bedecked in green Chorus Yn Ynys Môn there's a tomb of kings We have always known it was there The dark grove of the land The oxen is led to shaman and blessed Then laid on the ground before us Dance round a fire, drum through the night Till a chariot of light is pulled forth Of Mage and sage drawing the threads of The land that was so free Chorus Yn Ynys Môn there is a tomb of chiefs We have always known it was there The dark grove of the land The Gorsedd close by lines rocks stones and sky Hewn symbols repeat their message So chant blessed be before a petrified tree Remember the oaks will hear you Keep an ear to the ground for a whisper or sound For a vision of what might be Chorus On this magic land there is a tomb of kings We have always known it was there The dark grove of the land We have always known it was there The dark grove of the land (rep)

The candles lit, hard is the ground Beneath our feet without a sound Brighid stirs the sleeping land Visions and dreams stir and grow Green mantle touch the frosted earth Deep in the belly of the earth Deep in the belly of the earth Visions and dreams stir and grow Visions and dreams stir and grow Green mantle touch the frosted earth. The hearth is lit,we gather round Words are rising in the smoke Forging friendships hand in hand Anvils hammer heart beat blows Burning bright the sacred flame Deep in the belly of the earth Deep in the belly of the earth Visions and dreams stir and grow Visions and dreams stir and grow Burning bright the sacred flame. Bright arrow of the morning light Songs are drifting on the wind A bird foot Goddess leaves a sign Fairy swan on ashes at night Keep weaving signs of solar life. Deep in the belly of the earth Deep in the belly of the earth Visions and dreams stir and grow Visions and dreams stir and grow Keep weaving signs of solar life Gaze into the healing well Reflecting coins go tumbling down Make a wish it might come true Red yellow ribbons on a tree Daughter of Daghdha smile on me Deep in the belly of the earth Deep in the belly of the earth Visions and dreams stir and grow Visions and dreams stir and grow Daughter of Daghdha smile on me

Tomb of The Eagles Chorus Eagles fly and talons tear I would go there at early light Watch the Eagles fly, watch the Eagles fly Eagles fly and talons tear I would go there at first light Watch the Eagles fly, watch the Eagles fly A sky burial site with beating wings of flight We'll honour you and bury you in the ground The stories of your life In our hearts they will remain Long binding tales of blood as legends grow Your tribe is here, we have gathered young and old Down the ages we will hold our truth Chorus Eagles fly and talons tear etc: Verse Dark winter night tales of mystery and Giants Old Magick mixed with dreams by a flickering fire Drink wassail bowls as the wind outside it howls Strange sounds of ghosts and fae are the lore of this land. Bridge Your tribe is here,we have gathered young and old Down the ages we will hold our truth Chorus. Eagles fly and talons tear........ Spoken word As the ocean crashed from shore to shore The salt wind tearing at my body I lifted my gaze to the sky and a familiar sound I watched the sea eagles sour high rising on the wind Swooping and diving. In that moment my soul took flight as It joined them in their daily play of life. Wake and feasting done place the bones with long lost friends Take sustenance for journey to the other worlds Fired vessels smashed seal the entrance to that realm Walk away near, crashing ocean shores Your tribe is here we have gathered young and old Down the ages we will hold our truth Chorus Eagles fly and talons tear I would go there early light Watch the eagles fly, watch the eagles fly Eagles fly talons tear I would go there at first light Watch the eagles fly, watch the eagles fly.
