Burning times - christy moore[00:00:05]
In the cool of the evening they used to gather [00:00:26]
Neath the stars in the meadow circling an old oak tree [00:00:32]
At the times appointed by the seasons [00:00:39]
Of the earth and the phases of the moon [00:00:46]
In the center stood a woman [00:00:53]
Equal with the others and respected for her worth [00:00:58]
One of the many we call the witches [00:01:05]
The healers and the teachers of the wisdom of the earth [00:01:11]
And the people grew through the knowledge she gave them [00:01:18]
Herbs to heal their bodies spells to make their spirits whole [00:01:24]
Can't ya hear them chanting healing incantations [00:01:31]
Calling forth the wise ones celebrating in dance and song [00:01:37]
( Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Demeter Kali Inanna )[00:01:44]
There were those who came to power through domination [00:02:00]
And they bonded in the worship of a dead man on a cross [00:02:06]
They sought control of the common people[00:02:13]
By demanding allegiance to the church of Rome [00:02:18]
And the Pope declared an inquisition[00:02:25]
It was war against the women whose powers they feared [00:02:31]
In this holocaust against The Nature People[00:02:38]
Nine million European women died [00:02:44]
( Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Demeter Kali Inanna )[00:02:51]
Now the earth is a witch and the men still burn her [00:03:07]
Stripping her down with mining and the poisons of their wars [00:03:13]
Still to us the earth is a healer a teacher a mother [00:03:20]
A weaver of a web of light that keeps us all alive [00:03:26]
She gives us the vision to see through the chaos [00:03:32]
She gives us the courage it is our will to survive[00:03:38]
