Burning Times - Christy Moore[00:00:00]
In the cold of the evening they used to gather[00:00:12]
Neath the stars in the meadow circled near the old oak tree[00:00:18]
At the times appointed by the seasons[00:00:25]
Of the earth and the phases of the moon[00:00:32]
In the center often stood a woman[00:00:39]
Equal with the others respected for her worth[00:00:45]
One of the many we call the witches[00:00:52]
The healers the teachers of the wisdom of the earth[00:00:59]
And the people grew in the knowledge she gave them[00:01:06]
Herbs to heal their bodies smells to make their spirits whole[00:01:12]
Hear them chanting healing incantations[00:01:20]
Calling for the wise ones celebrating in dance and song[00:01:26]

There were those who came to power through domination[00:01:51]
They were bonded in their worship of a dead man on a cross[00:01:57]
They sought control of the common people[00:02:05]
By demanding allegiance to the church of Rome[00:02:10]
And the Pope he commenced the inquisition[00:02:17]
As a war against the women whose powers they feared[00:02:24]
In this holocaust in this age of evil[00:02:31]
Nine million European women they died[00:02:38]
And the tale is told of those who by the hundreds[00:02:48]
Holding hands together chose their deaths in the sea[00:02:54]
While chanting the praises of the Mother Goddess[00:03:02]
A refusal of betrayal women were dying to be free[00:03:08]

Now the earth is a witch and we still burn her[00:03:32]
Stripping her down with mining and the poison of our wars[00:03:38]
Still to us the earth is a healer a teacher and a mother[00:03:46]
A weaver of a web that keeps us all alive[00:03:52]
She gives us the vision to see through the chaos[00:03:59]
She gives us the courage it is our will to survive[00:04:06]
