We won’t wait any longer, We are stronger than before. We won’t wait any longer, We are stronger.
We have trusted no-one’s promise, We have kept to just ourselves; We have suffered from the lies In all the books upon your shelves. And our patience and endurance Through the Burning Times and now Have given us the strength To keep our vow.
Chorus
You have grazed away the heather And have razed the sacred grove; You have driven native peoples From the places that they love. Though your greed has been unbounded, You have felt the pangs of shame Ev’ry time you trod Upon the Mother’s name.
Chorus
Though you thought you had destroyed The mem’ry of the Ancient Way, Still the people light the bale fires Ev’ry year on solstice day, And on Beltane Eve and Samhain You can find us on the hill Invoking once again The Triple Will.
Chorus
Through the ages many races Have risen and have gone, But dispersed among the nations Of the world, we linger on. Now the time has come to take The sacred Cauldron of Rebirth, And fulfil our ancient Pledges to the Earth.
