I remember a story from long long ago Even though it has been years since it was told The tale still holds strong to myth and mystique When people told it in dark corners cause they had to sneak From shadows to shadow in whispered tones they would speak Pagans fleeing from the Christian scourge That sought there destruction and wished to purge All of their beliefs from the face of the earth And trample their children down into the dirt I remember each word and though I am scared as well My heart and mind demand that I tell the tale Of the greatest lover man has ever had Who was gentle, passionate, angry, and sad We have forgotten she who bore us first Scarred her flesh, polluted her blood and done much worse Denied her existence so that instead We could profit from her suffering and desecrate the dead. So even as in rain she weep for us We are lost, wicked and unjust Thieves of life, time and wealth We take and take to help ourselves Plundering the world into the abyss Forgetting what we lost and what we should miss However even in our darkest hour When man destroys and covets power I can hear her silent voice as she makes her appeal Begging her children to love not to **** To mend the wounds that we all need to heal And raise each other up if we should fail or fall So remember these words and please heed her call We her are children united one to each other So letβs make peace in this moment from here to forever
