We are the old world rising
We are enchantment stirring
We are the war drums beating
And the magick now returning
Singing sweetly from your heart
The resonance of long ago
Once it made you stand apart
Now it shows the way to go
Fire, Water, Earth and Air
Sun and Stars and Shining Sea
Gods appearing everywhere
Mysteries out running free
We are the old world rising
We are enchantment stirring
We are the war drums beating
And the magick now returning
We are the dreamers waking
We are the new day dawning
We are the spell that’s rising
Come with us and join the dance
Will you take the hidden way
The path behind, around, between
Will you walk the mist today
And explore the world unseen
Fire, Water, Earth and Air
Mountain high and forest strong
Will you sing the sacred prayer
Will you join the siren song
Like to like and blood to blood
We call the wyrd within your soul
Let the music draw you near
And the magick make you whole
Like to like and blood to blood
We summon you with song
Let the music draw you near
And the magick make you strong
Like to like and blood to blood
We offer you a flame
Let the music draw you near
And your magick now reclaim
We are the old world rising
We are enchantment stirring
We are the war drums beating
And the magick now returning
We are the dreamers waking
We are the new day dawning
We are the spell that’s rising
Come with us and join the dance
We are the old world rising
We are enchantment stirring
We are the war drums beating
And the magick now returning
We are the dreamers waking
We are the new day dawning
We are the spell that’s rising
Come with us and join the dance

Wild Green Magick
04:24

Can you close your eyes
And hide the light within you
Can you clip your wings
To wear a shape that does not fit you
Can you hide the sorcery
That flows within your veins
Make the wildness orderly
And lock the beast in chains
This is wild green magick
This is myth and mystery
This is the unheard music
This is the hidden history
We speak the twilight words
And we see the hidden ways
We walk between the worlds
A charm upon our days
We were born to greening flame
And hear the Old Ones cry
We cannot remain tame
We were summoned to defy
This is wild green magick
This is myth and mystery
This is the unheard music
This is the hidden history
Drumbeat in the night
Candle in the dark
Bell and book and chalice
Dancing flame to spark
Whisper of the trees
Voices in the wind
Ancestors around us
Let the dance begin
This is wild green magick
This is myth and mystery
This is the unheard music
This is the hidden history

Rebellion
03:48

The Morrigan is pouring
For the Aesir at the bar
The rumbling in the room
Is that this time it’s gone too far
And so the hunt will ride
And the crows will fill the sky
The wolves will run the fields
And sing their calling cry
Summon now the waking souls
All searching for a home
Ten thousand candles in the night
Is how rebellions form
Awake, Arise and Answer
Break the silence of oppression
Awake, Arise and Answer
The call of the rebellion
Forgotten heroes now reborn
The gods of old returning
The Tribe will gather in the dark
To start the fire burning
Summon now the waking souls
Reach out into the night
The song we sing together
Is how rebellions fight
Awake, Arise and Answer
Break the silence of oppression
Awake, Arise and Answer
The call of the rebellion
Awake, Arise and Answer
Stand up and find your song
Awake, Arise and Answer
Together we are strong
Awake, Arise and Answer
We are the dawn now breaking
Awake, Arise and Answer
Start the shadows shaking
Awake, Arise and Answer
We are the growing light
Awake, Arise and Answer
Set the world to right
Summon now the waking souls
Gather up our kin
Ten thousand voices raised as one
Is how rebellions win

Lady, may my sword be keen
And may I never falter
On the path that lies between
Battlefield and altar
Lady, may the edge be bright
Perfect in my hand
May I never lose the light
Or lack the will to stand
Seer, Seeker, Sorceress
Lay your grace upon me
Find it in your heart to bless
Your wandering valkyrie
Lady, may the steel be strong
And may the metal shine
May I find where I belong
The Path that’s truly mine
Seer, Seeker, Sorceress
Lay your grace upon me
Find it in your heart to bless
Your wandering valkyrie
Lady, may I know your grace
And may your wisdom flow
Wherever my foot I place
Wherever I may go
Seer, Seeker, Sorceress
Lay your grace upon me
Find it in your heart to bless
Your wandering valkyrie
Lady, may I honor you
In all my words and ways
May my offering be true
And last throughout my days
Seer, Seeker, Sorceress
Lay your grace upon me
Find it in your heart to bless
Your wandering valkyrie

The Fire
05:05
|

|
Rekindle fire from the stars
Clean altars overgrown
Sing the sacred melodies
That come to us unknown
Remember myths you were not told
Dance steps you did not learn
Reconsecrate the sacred ground
And to your soul return
Sacred light and holy shadow
Burn within your chest
Remember now the deeper truth
And spirit manifest
The fire flows within you
The fire burns around you
The fire glows between us
Above us and beneath us
The fire is our pathway
The fire is our breath
The fire is the thread that bears
Eternal life through death
Shake the toxic dreams away
Reawaken to the night
Send apathetic poison
To burn in the firelight
So much there is left to do
So much there is to learn
Many hands must turn the Wheel
And to our souls return
Sacred light and holy shadow
Burn within your chest
Remember now the deeper truth
And spirit manifest
The fire flows within you
The fire burns around you
The fire glows between us
Above us and beneath us
The fire is our pathway
The fire is our breath
The fire is the thread that bears
Eternal life through death
Deep within your blood you know
The sacred lives within
Not enshrined in stacking stone
But there beneath your skin
Reconsecrate and Reenchant
Let the sacred fire burn
Remember and reveal your truth
And let your soul return
The fire flows within you
The fire burns around you
The fire glows between us
Above us and beneath us
The fire is our pathway
The fire is our breath
The fire is the thread that bears
Eternal life through death
The fire is the thread that bears
Eternal life through death

Days grow long and in the green
Faces in the leaves are seen
Glimmers dancing in the trees
Flash in our periphery
The hills robust with leaf and vine
Mountains grown into a shrine
Music just outside of hearing
As the longest day is nearing
Shortest night and longest day
Drums to keep the dark at bay
Longest day and shortest night
Dance with me in the firelight
Rise in dark to greet the morn
See again the light reborn
Rising beautiful and bright
Calling color from the night
Bounty in the land around
Magick waiting to be found
Walk the woods, the hills and fields
See the fruits abundance yields
Shortest night and longest day
Drums to keep the dark at bay
Longest day and shortest night
Dance with me in the firelight
The fire crowned
Dance in the round
Drums to beat
And sacred heat
In the flame
Visions frame
The rising spark
The coming dark
One last night
For longest light
Celebrate the wheel that turns
Harvest what your planting earned
Love and joy of summer promise
Stay with us in the coming darkness
Shortest night and longest day
Drums to keep the dark at bay
Longest day and shortest night
Dance with me in the firelight

Uneven Ground
03:47
|

Dancing on uneven ground, our footsteps must bend
Step high, step low, and the circle never ends
What swims beneath and flies above will guide us on our way
We’ll keep the dance within our hearts as Twilight follows day
Rain on the Mountain feeding streams that flow
Where their journey takes them isn't ours to know
Winds bend the willow, sending leaves to dance
Feel the warm breath flowing in a healing trance
Dancing on uneven ground, our footsteps must bend
Step high, step low, and the circle never ends
What swims beneath and flies above will guide us on our way
We’ll keep the dance within our hearts as Twilight follows day
Deep within the winter soil, the seeds of flowers dream
The acorn knows the tree inside waits only to be seen
Dancing on uneven ground, our footsteps must bend
Step high, step low, and the circle never ends
What swims beneath and flies above will guide us on our way
We’ll keep the dance within our hearts as Twilight follows day
Candles by the fireside, warmth of hearth and home
Embers to rekindle whenever we're alone
The light of faith will show our feet the way the pathway leads
We're always where we're meant to be, just follow and believe
Dancing on uneven ground, our footsteps must bend
Step high, step low, and the circle never ends
What swims beneath and flies above will guide us on our way
We’ll keep the dance within our hearts as Twilight follows day

Liminal Spaces
03:50
|
|||
|
We walk in the liminal spaces
Thresholds and doorways, the parts in between
Not this world nor Other, but both and together
We walk the pathways unseen
The power that’s gathered in waiting
The strength built in holding the space
We make no judgments
And give no directions
A smile on an unseen face
We walk in the liminal spaces
Thresholds and doorways, the parts in between
Not this world nor Other, but both and together
We walk the pathways unseen
The power that’s gathered in waiting
The strength built in holding the space
We make no judgments and give no directions
A smile on an unseen face
We walk in the liminal spaces
Thresholds and doorways, the parts in between
Not this world nor Other, but both and together
We walk the pathways unseen
In the cries of a woman not yet a mother
Sings a spirit not yet a child
The path of a lifetime unfurling before us
Threads in a tapestry wild
We walk in the liminal spaces
Thresholds and doorways, the parts in between
Not this world nor Other, but both and together
We walk the pathways unseen
In the moment of stillness before the wave crashes
The second before the spark kindles the flame
The pause as the universe sighs in the passage
Of the infinite book where we’ve written all names
In the space between seasons, between birth and death
From lightning till thunder the world holds its breath
The time between planting and sprouting
The pause before new leaves unfurl
The space between knowing and doubting
When we find our true place in the world
We walk in the liminal spaces
Thresholds and doorways, the parts in between
Not this world nor Other, but both and together
We walk the pathways unseen

The Star

A star will rise
To light the sky
To break the dark
To shine
Wake up now from the trance
This dream of loss and pain
Leave the dark expanse
Open your eyes again
A star will rise
To light the sky
To break the dark
To shine
Ruins of the past
Covered now with green
Vines are spreading fast
Rain to wash you clean
Let the shadow fall behind you
Feel the wind upon your skin
Let the waking world remind you
You are more than what has been
A star will rise
To light the sky
To break the dark
To shine
After all the chaos
The hatred and self-doubt
After all the guilt and fear
The things we lie about
After all the darkness
The fire and the rain
After all we burn away
The truth is what we gain
A star will rise
To light the sky
To break the dark
To shine
We all will rise
To light the sky
To break the dark
We shine

The Mountain

The mountain calls us home
As the leaves begin to turn
In the fading of the year
Releasing fires burn
The mountain calls us home
As the night begins to fall
To hear the sacred voices
That through the forest call
Hear the song of earth and stone
Of water and of flame
Hear the song of blood and bone
The mountain calls your name
The mountain calls us home
And we turn to face the dark
Gathering together
To light a sacred spark
The mountain calls us home
Joining hands and hearts
Our winter work now to begin
Shaping sacred Arts
Hear the song of earth and stone
Of water and of flame
Hear the song of blood and bone
The mountain calls your name
In the fading of the light
The mountain calls your name
In the falling of the leaves
You hear it all the same
In the growing of the dark
Your spirit to reclaim
In the twilight season
The mountain calls your name
The mountain calls us home
Will you take my hand and fly
To the forest singing
Beneath a clear blue sky
The mountain calls us home
To shadow and to light
To delve within, to find ourselves
In the darkness of the night
Hear the song of earth and stone
Of water and of flame
Hear the song of starry nights
And sacred knowledge gained
Hear the song of family
Friends and loves reclaimed
Hear the song and come away
Your magick to unchain
Hear the song of earth and stone
Of water and of flame
Hear the song of blood and bone
The mountain calls your name

Somewhere It's Raining
05:55
|

Somewhere past the canyons, it’s raining. There’s a promise of water and wind.
Disturbs the place where rock and sky meet.
Somewhere past the canyons, it’s raining. A momentary glory of storm
The distance between here and the rain is no further than the space between us now.
The emptiness that spans both time and miles is the distance between me and the clouds.
Somewhere past the canyons, it’s raining. A river’s born and dies in the sand,
Already too old to survive. A story half-told, left undone.
And I can see the sun beneath the lightning and the storm.
I can see the end of the road.
Tonight it doesn’t seem so far, it’s just the miles that bleed,
and somewhere past the canyons, you watch the stars like me…
Somewhere past the canyons, it’s raining. I almost hear it whisper in my ear,
I close my eyes and taste the memories,
of the water I cannot see.

Kindred Crow is an acoustic journey through mystery, magic, myth, and mirth. Pagan Folk: Soaring lyrics over powerful rhythms. A little bit of magic, a dash of mystery, and a whole lot of revelry. Like their namesake, the Crows offer a musical mix that strikes a balance of compelling beauty, resonant storytelling, and more than a little bit of mischief. ... more

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.
