Gather your strength
Verse 1
I envy the sun that caresses your face
Its touch waking freckles like fingers of lace
I feel that ache seep under my skin
I hold it close so you can begin
To heal the hurt that came before
That hid behind so many closed doors
It swallowed your light, left you in night
But I stand here now, for you I’ll fight
Chorus
Gather your strength and follow me
Into the darkness we cannot see
The trees will stand and guard you well
And water will wash away your hell
Verse 2
Your spirit now free to fly through the land
So reach for me—I’ll take your hand
Breathe in deep and connect with me
And finally let that wild child free
Chorus
Gather your strength and follow me
Into the darkness we cannot see
The trees will stand and guard you well
And water will wash away your hell
Bridge
Paint the skies with the tears in your eyes
Let your fingers reach deep where the earth lies
Regard the story that went before
As lessons that brought you gifts and more
Final Chorus
Gather your strength and walk with me
Through the dawn we now can see
The trees still stand, they know you well
And water sings where shadows fell

Verse 1

Pierce the past with ice in eyes,

His time is spent, the silence cries.

He bows to dusk, the final sigh,

With black streaks drawn beneath the sky.

Verse 2

The turf is peaty, soaked in grief,

Where lie his kin beneath the leaf.

A battle trembles on his face,

Years of rage he can’t erase.

Chorus

Oh, rise again from blackest ground,

Where death once sang without a sound.

The crown may rot, the hope may fade,

But still he walks the war he made.

Verse 3

A crown of wood upon his brow,

Once proud, now soft and splintered.

His thoughts like crows in stormy flight,

No comfort comes, no hand, no light.

Verse 4

Will anything be whole again?

He doubts beneath the falling rain.

But still he calls his scattered men,

To rise once more from death’s dark den.

Bridge

He walks the edge of memory’s flame,

Each footstep carved with loss and name.

The ghosts behind, the storm ahead,

Still he marches, never fled.

Chorus

Oh, rise again from blackest ground,

Where death once sang without a sound.

The crown may rot, the hope may fade,

But still he walks the war he made.So gather now, the broken brave,

From shadow’s edge and silent grave.

The past may pierce, the tears may fall,

But still he stands to heed the call.

Verse 1)
Silently screaming, we witches see,
The pain of others we try to free.
Persecuted, a trail of flames,
Sport to some, their fearsome games.

(Verse 2)
Lift the mask — what lies beneath?
A quiet soul, filled with grief.
For mothers, sisters, slain before,
When men afeard broke down the door.

(Chorus)
Call her crone, call her hag,
She walks the path the healers drag.
With feverfew and garlic root,
She soothes the ache, she speaks the truth.

(Verse 3)
At one with trees, with reeds and rain,
She gathers herbs to ease your pain.
She comes to aid the sorry mind,
With nature’s gifts most leave behind.

(Bridge)
We always fear what we don’t know,
But start to talk, take time to slow.
See through another’s ancient eyes,
A world revealed, no more disguise.

(Chorus)
Call her crone, call her hag,
She walks the path the healers drag.
With feverfew and garlic root,
She soothes the ache, she speaks the truth.

(Outro)
So look and face those called “the witch,”
Let her healing your life enrich.
She’s not the curse, she’s not the flame —
She’s the whisper that calls your name.

to me


Verse 1
With her tresses green unfolding free
And limbs outstretched to comfort me
A mask that speaks of a thousand years
Seen battle, peace, blood and tears.
Chorus
She stands where silence meets the breeze
A whisper held in ancient leaves
Come weary soul, come rest your head
She’ll guard your dreams till morning’s red.
Verse 2
Now though standing as sentry guard
To guide the lost when life is hard
Touch her skin with all its age
Close your eyes and turn your page.
Bridge
She’s rooted deep in earth and lore
A tale of those who came before
Her bark holds songs we’ve long forgot
But still she sings, though we may not.
Final Chorus
She stands where silence meets the breeze
A whisper held in ancient leaves
Come weary soul, come rest your head
She’ll guard your dreams till morning’s red.

Verse 1
At one with nature, it’s etched on her skin,
A lace-filled pattern like dragonfly wing.
Symbiotic, as one they share in this space,
With calming reflection, slowing the pace.
Chorus
These dandelion wishes she'll blow to you,
Tempering the sadness, carrying you through.
Together we hold a treasure of gold,
A map is pressed in your faces of old.
Verse 2
Those leaves are so green, they fill up her eyes,
As confetti memories paint the skies.
Birds on wing, so breathless, so free—
She lay in silence… please, please take me.
These dandelion wishes she'll blow to you,
Tempering the sadness, carrying you through.
Together we hold a treasure of gold,
A map is pressed in your faces of old.
Bridge /
Instrumental break
Whispers of wind, the hush of the trees,
Time stands still in silvery moments like these.
Final Chorus / Outro
These dandelion wishes she'll blow them to you,
Tempering the sadness, carrying us through.
Together we hold what cannot be sold—
Hearts etched in stone , stories retold.

Verse 1
Amongst the trees that rise to me
I seek a solace, I wander free
The leaves of green brush over my face
I’m finally home in this sacred place
Verse 2
Nowhere else I feel quite at ease
With cleansing water and towering trees
Gather me up as I lay me down
Protected and healed by the forgiving ground
Chorus
It’s a strength that seeps beneath my feet
Held by your roots, I am complete
I search the sky with daydream eyes
Dancing bright with the fireflies
Verse 3
Each root, each creature knows my song
It bursts out wild, where I belong
Question no more where is my place
An infinite being in time and space
(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 4
I lay and listen to birds that call
Surrender their song for one and all
Unselfish abandon rises to greet
As sun in heaven and Earth do meet
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
As I fade to grey, your colours I hold
My pulse is weak, and my skin grows cold
But inside me somewhere, rainbows burst anew
I sink to Earth, and life renews
Verse 5
Reaching, searching for clarity clear
Surrounded by light—it’s always been here
Accepting the darkness, inviting it home
For ancestor sins, I now atone
Final Chorus (gentle)
It’s a strength that seeps beneath my feet
Held by your roots, I am complete
I search the sky with daydream eyes
Dancing bright with fire flies

Dancing free and wild
A firefly wild child.
