lyrics

SWORD AND STAFF
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

KYRIE ELEISON!
MAIDEN, MOTHER, CRONE OF HOSTS
KYRIE ELEISON!
FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST
KYRIE ELEISON!
WIND AND LIGHTNING, RAIN AND MOSS
KYRIE ELEISON!
SWORD AND STAFF, CAULDRON AND CROSS

A circlette of the Sacred Thorn
The rising of the Sun reborn
A sacrifice for all Mankind
A tree with root and branch entwined
God will grant His blessing still
Though we call Her what we will
We can name it what-so-ere
A spell is nothing but a prayer

Holy water, sacred spring
Angel fire, faerie ring
Different, and yet still the same
Acceptance lies beyond the name
Each and all are tied as one
There should be no comparison
This one law is rudiment
Our faith's defined by our intent

Stone and statue bless this ground
Different faiths, together bound
Back to back we share one fight
To stand against the Dark with Light
Mother Earth, God above
Unify us all in Love
Unite us through diversity
For fear is our true enemy
