Songs for the Waning Year
(all songs by T. Thorn Coyle except * by Coyle and Hayakawa-Mist)
Elemental Castings
Air. Fire. Water, Earth.
Breathe with me, oh you lovers, breathe with me.
Burn in me, oh you lovers, burn in me.
Flow together, oh you lovers, flow with me.
Stand rock solid, oh your lovers, stand with me.
Rise in spirit, oh you lovers, rise with me.
Sing together, oh you lovers, sing with me.
For Tara (Hecate Chant)
Hecate, keeper of the crossroads
Hecate, holer of the flame
Hecate, wisdom of the darkness
Guide our way, guide our way
All that dies is reborn
Formless sinking into form
Rise awake! Born anew
Walking forward, passing through
Ancestor Chant
All you who have gone before, please listen now, we are listening, too
All you who have gone before, join us in peace.
Crossing the river of life and death.
Crossing the river of spirit and breath.
The Fates
chorus:
In the cave of destiny, She spins, She weaves, She cuts.
Our fate is fashioned by these Three, She spins, She weaves, She cuts.
Verses:
Whether we walk with light or heavy tread,
Our lives flow from the end of Her silken thread.
In the den of the Wise,
Her shuttle 'cross our tapestry flies.
When the pattern is done,
She cuts the threads of life that were spun.
