|
|
Hail the day so long expected, when the Gates are opened wide.
|
||
|
|
Magicks old and new collected, have restored the ancient pride.
|
||
|
|
Throughout Faerie's wide dominion, hear teh trumptes swoor and soar--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Avalon is rising, is rising, is rising; :
|
||
|
|
Avalon is rising to fall no more. : ---REPRISE
|
||
|
|
Avalon is rising, os rising; :
|
||
|
|
Avalon is rising to fall noi more! :
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All of us now stand in wonder, as our visions come to pass.
|
||
|
|
Earth Mother and God of Thunder, Hunter, Weaver, join the dance.
|
||
|
|
Swell the sound of joyous laughter, hear immortal voices roar:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
REPRISE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
THough some thought that all their hating, had sent Her beneath the waves;
|
||
|
|
Avalon was merely waiting, for Her folk will not be slaves!
|
||
|
|
Now the day of freedom's dawning, brings Them back forevermore--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
REPRISE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hark all ye in beds and bowers, Pan has come another time;
|
||
|
|
Ruling with a rod of flowers, giving us the bliss sublime.
|
||
|
|
Frigg and Frigga now shall guide us, Danu be our counselor--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
REPRISE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Listen warriors of teh Old Gods as the Wild Hunt's horn doth sound;
|
||
|
|
All their works shall fall before us, and the evil ones be bound.
|
||
|
|
Raise the shield of bright AThena, swing the hammer of great Thor--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
REPRISE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hear me now each dree and bandree, brahman, volkhvi, flamen too;
|
||
|
|
Priest and priestess, poet, godi, runemaster and shaman true:
|
||
|
|
All your faith now is rewarded, prohpets of the ancient lore--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
REPRISE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some of us shall go a-sailing, through the void so deep and far.
|
||
|
|
They will come with us unfailing, plant the seeds from star to star.
|
||
|
|
Hear our children's children's voices, join with those from days of yore:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
REPRISE
|
||
