歌曲歌詞
In the cold of the evening they used to gather.
Neath the stars in the meadow circled near the old oak tree.
At the times appointed.. by the seasons..
Of the earth and the phases of the moon.
In the center often stood a woman
Equal with the others respected for her worth.
One of the many.. we call the witches
The healers the teachers of the wisdom of the earth.
And the people grew in the knowledge she gave them
Herbs to heal their bodies smells to make their spirits whole.
Hear them chanting healing incantations
Calling for the wise ones celebrating in dance and song
There were those that came to power through domination.
They were bonded in their worship of a dead man on a cross.
They sought control of the common people
By demanding allegiance to the church of Rome.
And the Pope he commenced the inquisition
As a war against the women whose powers they feared.
In this holocaust in this age of evil
Nine million European women they died.
And the tale is told of those who by the hundreds
Holding hands together chose their deaths in the sea.
While chanting the praises of the Mother Goddess
A refusal of betrayal women were dying to be free.
Now the earth is a witch and we still burn her.
Stripping her down with mining and the poison of our wars.
Still to us the earth is a healer a teacher and a mother.
A weaver of a web of light that keeps us all alive.
She gives us the vision to see through the chaos.
She gives us the courage it is our will to survive.
