《Burning Times》歌词

[00:00:00] Burning Times - Christy Moore

[00:00:12] In the cold of the evening they used to gather

[00:00:18] Neath the stars in the meadow circled near the old oak tree

[00:00:25] At the times appointed by the seasons

[00:00:32] Of the earth and the phases of the moon

[00:00:39] In the center often stood a woman

[00:00:45] Equal with the others respected for her worth

[00:00:52] One of the many we call the witches

[00:00:59] The healers the teachers of the wisdom of the earth

[00:01:06] And the people grew in the knowledge she gave them

[00:01:12] Herbs to heal their bodies smells to make their spirits whole

[00:01:20] Hear them chanting healing incantations

[00:01:26] Calling for the wise ones celebrating in dance and song

[00:01:34] Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Demeter Kali Inanna

[00:01:51] There were those who came to power through domination

[00:01:57] They were bonded in their worship of a dead man on a cross

[00:02:05] They sought control of the common people

[00:02:10] By demanding allegiance to the church of Rome

[00:02:17] And the Pope he commenced the inquisition

[00:02:24] As a war against the women whose powers they feared

[00:02:31] In this holocaust in this age of evil

[00:02:38] Nine million European women they died

[00:02:48] And the tale is told of those who by the hundreds

[00:02:54] Holding hands together chose their deaths in the sea

[00:03:02] While chanting the praises of the Mother Goddess

[00:03:08] A refusal of betrayal women were dying to be free

[00:03:32] Now the earth is a witch and we still burn her

[00:03:38] Stripping her down with mining and the poison of our wars

[00:03:46] Still to us the earth is a healer a teacher and a mother

[00:03:52] A weaver of a web that keeps us all alive

[00:03:59] She gives us the vision to see through the chaos

[00:04:06] She gives us the courage it is our will to survive

[00:04:17] Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Demeter Kali Inanna

[00:04:22] Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Demeter Kali Inanna
