Closing Circle

A swirling memory
Of times past
Imagined remembrance
Of a life not lived
The circle is closing
The chant can begin
So we go together
To were sleeping gods lie
As we crawl into the darkness
of past, present, and future
We learn how much we’ve lost
So much we’ll never have…
Spots of shade, honeyed path
Awaken to see the day
We get back to being
With hands raised, stretched to the limit
As we crawl into the darkness
of past, present, and future
We learn how much we’ve lost
So much we’ll never have…
Allowing for what’s before us
This small pocket of light
This single journey
A Shadow that covers it all
The faces that were our gods
They’re gone now
The gods that we were
Are all dead now

Swirling, swirling
Falling, falling
Rotten bodies turned to dust
Breaking, cracking
Snapping, splitting
All our bones and dreams combust
Horned hooves trampling
The woods are alive
The Horned One is coming
Tonight He shalt arrive
Prepare the sacrifice
The One With Horns awaits
Their destiny has befallen them
It’s He Who Desecrates
Tonight He shall awake
Staring into my unconscious mind
Laying waste to nightmares
Pushing light into my being
The Door of Moonlight is open
Its ivory threshold inviting
It beckons me in
A mirror reflection painted black
Hidden in the heart of silence
I enter and dissipate
A midnight walk through the void
An ever-expanding void

I offer Thee this sacrifice
O Trophonios, Lord of nightmares!
Attend my prayer and come
O Trophonios, Granter of visions!
Approach and come to this sacred rite
O Trophonios, Slayer of doubt!
And in your wisdom, please hear me now
O Trophonios, Herald of the Night!
Klûthi mou!
Klûthi mou!
Klûthi mou!
Klûthi mou!
Cool Water from the Earth below
Bright Fire from the Air above
Klûthi mou!
Klûthi mou!
Klûthi mou!
Klûthi mou!
Let opposites unite
So that all our Arts be purified
I stood in Thy presence at the Oracle
I was blessed by Thy wisdom and marked by it
I fulfilled the vows I made
So hear me now and grant to me Thine aid
Klûthi mou!
Klûthi mou!
Klûthi mou!
Klûthi mou!
Bless me with your essence
So that I may delve deeper into Thy mysteries
Cast Thine shadow over me
So that the light of Truth
Shines on my work!

I sing a prayer to the Old One
Path Finder and Lord of the Hunt
Cernunnos, Opener of Ways
Guide of the Paths Between
Sitter of the Doorway
Attend to me
You who hold opposites together
Clear the threshold
You who are life, death, dusk and dawn
The hunter circling the oak
Lead the way so that I may follow
Remind me of my true self

Anointed with Fire
04:51
|

The serpent dips its head beneath the sea
Eternal, thence to draw the strength it needs
On earth to do indomitable deeds
Master over the mystery of man
Tormenting visions of the forebears
King of the charnel ground
Sunless desolation
Ashes rising to the sky
Restless world
Carrion crows haunt the gardens
Reigning over what used to be
But never really was
From the deep, anointed with fire
Scattered amid the vast stars
Scattered over the waters
Carrying off mountains into exile
Lungs full of fire and sparks
Driving the beasts to madness
Feasting on flesh that isn't their own
Feeding on the souls of the dead
Scarlet serpents slithering through
The bloody halls of a city
Drawing strength from the ghosts of the past
And their burning fires

Severing Light
05:00

I feel the crunch of dry leaves under my feet
A golden pathway among the trees
Shadows grow longer
As the world quiets around me
The first stars watch over me
Trees bow and shake
A powerful shadow rests upon me
And I hear the sound of light
A gentle touch and whisper
As the night wanes I am gone
A dreary light following me
Through the trees
Footsteps upon the dirt
No moonlight to guide me
The world feels new
Cascading realities collapsing
A gift given but not yet known
Severing light and shadow
I close my eyes, wake and see
The moonlight finds my spirit
