pagan pride

really great for use as a chant or meditation :)

in the darkness you paint us, but we will not hide
we're the light of the country in which you abide,
we're fearless and strong, the protectors of life.
hidden in shadow we conquer all strife.

we come from the Old Ones, our lineage secure.
we rise from the ashes, we always endure.
its time you remembered that we were here first.
we healed your sick yet suffered your worse.

from time immemorial we woven our lore
cunning folk, healers, bendanti-there's more
we're black and we're white, we're brown and we're yellow.
we're women and children, and mighty fine fellows.

we're her hidden children, the angels of light,
our task is to teach and help set things right.
we conjure and cast, and whisper and pray
so you can enjoy your freedom each day.

we've long been your army, protecting your back
when you are in trouble, in secret we act.
the mother is watching- she hasn't missed much.
she's gathered her magick and given her touch
to witched and pagans and druids and such!

the times are a'chaning and one thing is clear
the lord and the lady have now reappeared.
two pillars, three points, four quarters extend
five is the number of magickal blend.
by moon and by sun, by earth and by stars
realize this day that the power is ours!
