On a hemisphere that’s been turned around It is hard to find our own sacred ground Knowing our blood has been flowing from land never seen From a Northern line to a Southern birth I have memories of a different Earth Whether it’s Summer or Winter in June We all draw our power from the same Moon On the eve of Samhain When the twilight called her mother cried On the eve of Samhain A door opened wide On the eve of Samhain When the twilight called her mother cried And from the sea Came an ancient memory And from the sea Came an ancient memory And from the sea Came an ancient memory It was the mirror of her ancestry Does our ebbing tide cover Northern rocks? Is the ocean still at each Equinox? Is it the Moon that is breathing this tide in our veins?
