Songs for the Waning Year
(all songs by T. Thorn Coyle)
*Osiris Lives
Red barley and grape on the vine
Green waters of the rising nile 2x
Osiris lives, Osiris returns, what is true will never die. 2x
(What is true will live forever, what is true will always be.)
(Osiris lives, the God returns, Osiris lives, the God in me.)
Divine Twins (and Star Goddess)
We are beauty and we are darkness.
We are light, and we are change.
(Power of darkness. Womb of light.)
Eternity’s Children
We change as the sea changes
We are carried, time through night.
Eternity, we are your children
Lend us patience, give us sight!
Waiting, now the time has come! 2x
Season’s Turn
Raise the horn of libation as we dance in the flickering light.
Pass the kiss of creation as we dance in the turning of night.
Stoke the fires and brave the cold
Greet the new and honor the old.
Solstice Prayer
We wait in the dark for the light to appear,
Mother, give birth to our brother the Sun.
We wait in the dark for the light to appear,
Mother, give birth to our brother the Sun!
We wait. We watch.
Out of the cold comes the promise of newness.
We wait. We watch.
Out of the cold comes the promise of day!
Taliesin’s Song
I remember the beating of my heart
I remember the birthing of the stars 2x
I am expanding, filling up the world,
I am expanding, breathing in the universe
I am expanding, hear my song.
Hear my song.
