The Elf Spear......... They were loud, yes, loud, when they rode over the (burial) mound; they were fierce when they rode across the land. When they rode across the land When they rode over the mound Rode over the land Over... Out, little spear, if there is one here within Hlūde wǣran hȳ lā hlūde ðā hȳ ofer þone hlǣw ridan: The lyrics of the song are based on an Old English medical text from the 10th century, „Wið færstice”, surviving in the collection known now as Lacnunga in the British Library. According to Felix Grendon, whose collection of Anglo-Saxon charms appeared in the Journal of American Folklore in 1908, “the charm is intended to cure a sudden twinge or stitch, possibly rheumatism that can be due to being shot by witches, elves, and other spirits that fly through the air.”

November......... Here we are now, Where none of us has been We were restless, The years are still hanging after us for a long time Everything that we have, that is what we are What we're waiting on, that is here Do you see the signs, Love and wrath Everything that remains Is an escape up ahead We set out too far off, Your heart breaks down every barrier What guides us now Is the abyss we found Here we are now, Where none of us has been We were restless, The years are still hanging after us for a long time The paths are getting steep, But even so, we still see Shadows are growing, The light shines (down) on us

Galdra....... I saw you in a fever, and met you in a dream, on the highest mountain under the sky. Your eyelids made of reindeer skin are like ghosts, but strangely familiar Wizard, When your singing turns gray1 Wizard, We will ride the wind With herb and fire, with feather and stone, shall forest and meadows be your temple Wizard, When your singing turns gray Wizard, We will ride the wind

Gwydion......... The cold winter hindered us But now the wheel is turning I saw you in old dreams When I lay beneath the moon So from the deepest dream I woke up by your word Along with you are woods and trees proceeding to the final fight In the tight ban of the cold Your singing breezes from afar Gwydion1 Gwydion Son of the goddess, clairvoyant In the alder grove your light Unlock the winter´s catch from me Push away the night In the tight ban of the cold Your singing breezes from afar Gwydion Gwydion I have been in a multitude of shapes, Before I was unfettered. I have been a string in a harp, Disguised for nine years. I have been a tear in the air, I have been the dullest of stars. I have been a word among letters, I have been a book in my best age. I have been the light of lanterns, A year and a half. I have been a way, I have been an eagle. I have been a coracle in the seas: I have been a sword in the grasp of the hand I have been a shield in battle. Gwydion Gwydion Gwydion Gwydion

Cinderella......... Of noble figure and with eyes so delicate You must wear apron and rags With soot on the skin and with ashes in the hair You patiently endure the plagues So wash the soot off the skin Because miracles happen when you believe in them Do you know the time when your parents were still alive And you knew carefree dreams? Do you know the time when with flowing hair You found that magic hazel? So wash the soot off the skin Because miracles happen when you believe in them And in the dark a light shines A prince has redeemed you And with him you don't know about the shadows Do you know the time when in hunter's clothes You conquered the prince? Do you know the night, when in silk and velvet You swayed with him in the dance? So go with your head raised Because miracles happen when you believe in them And in the dark a light shines A prince has redeemed you And with him you don't know about the shadows And in the dark a light shines A prince has redeemed you And with him you don't know about the shadows And in the dark a light shines A prince has redeemed you And with him you don't know about the shadows

Hymn To Pan......... Listen now, Great Pan he calls us From the green wood in his grove 'neath the waxing moon above us Hear his clear flute sweet and low Hear his clear flute sweet and low Follow in the dance he's leading Circle 'round the fire's glow Come and drink the wine he pours us From the tangled vines that grow From the tangled vines that grow From the tangled vines that grow Listen now and I shall follow Listen now and I may follow Listen now and I will follow Out of the mid-wood's twilight Into the meadow's dawn Ivory limbed and brown eyed Flashes the Faun He skips through the copses singing And his shadow dances along And I know not which I should follow Shadow or Song O Hunter, snare me his shadow O Nightingale, catch me his strain Else moonstruck with music and madness I track him in vain

Nine worlds........ You gave me hope and took my pain Gave me dreams and your heart But at first the shadows of this night Have brought us here Nine worlds I knew, the nine in the tree Nine worlds I knew, the nine in the tree With witchcraft and sword You have crossed the nine worlds And freed me from my chains In the cover of the night Gave me ashes on my skin Magic herb for the wounds Have crossed the nine worlds And led me back to you My pure heart Nine worlds I knew, the nine in the tree. Nine worlds I knew, the nine in the tree.

Tamlin........ Janet was wearing a green dress, her hair was braided Her way led to the forest, although it was evening Janet, stay away from that forest, there is witchcraft going on And fairies have already lured many into the green with their tricks It was seven years ago, under the moonlight Janet found her bridegroom in a green grove Tamlin found happiness with Janet, his bride But soon the couple was robbed of their happiness by fairy hand It happened in that forest on All Hallows Eve Tamlin was on the hunt and went astray The fairy queen, pale and elf-like Lured him to the fairy kingdom with cunning For seven years he was captived by fairies And for seven years Janet was waiting for him But finally came the day, when the fairies could be Seen far and wide in the forest, and Tamlin was by their side The loyal Janet goes to the elves Because love is stronger than spell and danger Then Tamlin turns into a wild bear But Janet remains loyal to him and hugs the animal Then Tamlin changes from bear to wolf form But Janet's loyalty doesn't stop at magic Then Tamlin turns into red embers of fire But Janet holds him and breaks the evil fairy curse Janet was wearing a green dress, her hair was braided Her way led to the forest, although it was evening

Sun Dance (Lughnasadh)......... In the golden morning hour We move out of the valley And we joyfully dance into The early sunshine We go high up the mountain peaks To look into the eye of Lugh1 Let's celebrate this age That summer holds ready You let your ravens go When the fields turn to gold And the bright wheel Revolves around Lughnasadh x 2 It's been a year ago Since I saw you at the dance Way too often in long nights I have thought about you King Summer leads the dance I follow him in the blooming circle And thus our vicious circle closes To the well-known melody You let your ravens go When the fields turn to gold And the bright wheel Revolves around Lughnasadh Soon the wheel will turn Wild storms will blow We approach winter with throaty singing And so, the vicious circle starts all over again Come and follow us in the dance We want to make a large circle When the fields turn to gold We'll meet again You let your ravens go When the fields turn to gold And the bright wheel Revolves around Lughnasadh

Rose Red.......... Rose Red, white as snow Queen of forest and clover I gave you my heart. Rose Red Therefore become my bride Where the song of the black horn sings And the raven sounds wise Where ghosts strife the bogs And where two sisters spin in a dance Two sisters spin in a dance In the forest I found tranquility Also protection at your fire A ruse of dwarfs bound me in a spell Until I can be a prince once again Rose Red white as snow Queen of forest and clover I gave you my heart Rose Red Therefore become my bride (Hey) Three times I have to prove myself To three blessings, three lessons I expect you under the protection of the forest Where I wander through fern and dosh Where I wander through fern and dosh The way is long, the wind is cold Lead me into your forest Keeper of tree and animal Take the bearlike coat off me Rose Red, white as snow Queen of forest and clover I gave you my heart Rose Red Hundreds of years I have been away from this place (You have been away from me) And just like that, the spell breaks Rose Red, white as snow Queen of forest and clover I gave you my heart Rose Red Rose Red white as snow Queen of forest and clover I gave you my heart Rose Red Therefore become my bride Therefore become my bride

With the wind............. The winter has kept us here for a long time, we were snowed in from the world. The land was quiet, the nights long, the way to you so far. But at last life returns back to our land. You met me today in first green and took me by the hand. Let's blow with the wind, for wherever it takes us, doubts vanish in smoke because you are here. Let's go and we'll be finally free like the wind, like the birds we'll fly far over the sea. In the winter I still asked who would catch me if I fell. In the summer wind we now fly to the end of the world. And those that then come together with us along our ways no chains will hold, when the wind in summer blows. Let's blow with the wind, for wherever it takes us, doubts vanish in smoke because you are here. Let's go and we'll be finally free like the wind, like the birds we'll fly far over the sea. One day I'll follow their flight to the land that calls from afar. Songs have told me it. One day nothing will hold me back, follow me, accompany me for a bit. Come with me into that world. Let's blow with the wind, for wherever it takes us, doubts vanish in smoke because you are here. Let's go and we'll be finally free like the wind, like the birds we'll fly far over the sea.

FEUER......... Als ich dich wiedersah Warst du auf der Flucht und in großer Gefahr Ich folgte dir, denn mir blieb keine Wahl Als deine Schönheit mir die Sinne stahl Es war gut, dich zu seh'n Mit einem Freund zu sein Wenn alle gegen dich steh'n Lass uns nicht voneinander geh'n Wenn Stürme bereits am Horizont aufzieh'n Denn in einer Welt, in der man Gold und Recht nicht trennt In der man Mörder krönt und die Heilerin verbrennt In einer Welt, in der aus Furcht ein jeder sich versteckt Wird es Zeit, dass man den Drachen erweckt (Ihr wolltet Feuer?) In dieser hellen Nacht (Doch nun blendet euch das Licht) Hab' das Feuer ich entfacht (Und nun brennt das Alte nieder) Und die Schatten, die ich fand (Damit ein neuer Tag anbricht) Sind mit den Flammen nun verbrannt Mein Schwert und meine Hand Schwor ich dir und dem Traum, der uns verband Doch wir sind nur zu zweit Gegen den König und viele hundert Mann Unsere Liebe wird besteh'n Lass uns zusammen durchs Feuer geh'n Stürme fegen übers Land Und nur ein Funke entfacht den größten Brand Denn in einer Welt, in der man Gold und Recht nicht trennt In der man Mörder krönt und die Heilerin verbrennt In einer Welt in der aus Furcht ein jeder sich versteckt Wird es Zeit, dass man den Drachen erweckt (Ihr wolltet Feuer?) In dieser hellen Nacht (Doch nun blendet euch das Licht) Hab' das Feuer ich entfacht (Und nun brennt das Alte nieder) Und die Schatten, die ich fand (Damit ein neuer Tag anbricht) Sind mit den Flammen nun verbrannt Was Feuer war, das ist nun wieder Glut Und die Asche schwebt hoch am Firmament Noch sehe ich in den Funkenflug Zum Sternenzelt ward alles Übel in der Welt Was das Feuer nimmt, das gibt es uns auch wieder Und zum Neubeginn erklingen Abschiedslieder Und in dieser hellen Nacht Ist mit den Drachen auch eine Königin erwacht (Ihr wolltet Feuer?) In dieser hellen Nacht (Doch nun blendet euch das Licht) Hab' das Feuer ich entfacht (Und nun brennt das Alte nieder) Und die Schatten, die ich fand (Damit ein neuer Tag anbricht) Sind mit den Flammen nun verbrann

Fire ............ When I saw you again You were escaping and in great danger I followed you because I has no choice As your beauty stole my sense It was good to see you To be with a friend When everyone is against you Let us not split up When storms are coming up on the horizon Cause in a world, where they don't separate gold and law Where they crown a murderer and burn the healer In a world where everyone is hiding out of fear It is getting time to awaken the dragon (You wanted fire?) In this bright night (But not the light is blinding you) I have lit up the fire (And now the past is burning down) And the shadows that I found (So that a new day will come) Have burned down with the fire My sword and my hand I promised to you and to the dream that bound us But we are only two Against the king and many hundred men Our love will endure Let us go together through the fire Storms are blowing over the land And just a spark can create set up the greatest fire Cause in a world, where they don't separate gold and law Where they crown a murderer and burn the healer In a world where everyone is hiding out of fear It is getting time to awaken the dragon (You wanted fire?) In this bright night (But not the light is blinding you) I have lit up the fire (And now the past is burning down) And the shadows that I found (So that a new day will come) Have burned down with the fire What was fire, has now turned back into heat The ash hovers high in the sky I can still see the sparks flying upward All evil in the world turned into stars in the sky What the fire takes, it gives back too Song of farewell are played as the new time begins And in this bright night A queen has awoken along with the dragon (You wanted fire?) In this bright night (But not the light is blinding you) I have lit up the fire (And now the past is burning down) And the shadows that I found (So that a new day will come) Have burned down with the fire

PLUMAGE..... Across the heath, in the early morning glow Birds pass on by, where may they be tomorrow I follow the sizzling of the wings into the somber moor Age-old songs resound from the haze Come and fly away with us Let the wind carry you Far away from this place Come and fly as high as you can Let us chase the skies In our dance Silken Haze, so chilly, brushing my skin Further and further, where shall I find my yearning's goal I close my eyes and grow a plumage I feel the wind already and spread my wings to fly Come and fly away with us Let the wind carry you Far away from this place Come and fly as high as you can Let us chase the skies In our dance The heavens in you, how can I know them, can I see them In flight we dance like the stars, moving on their paths Come and fly away with us Let the wind carry you Far away from this place Come and fly as high as you can Let us chase the skies In our dance

The Wild Hunt......... A girl comes from the valley to the village So lovely and fair The black miller1 sees her And wants to be her beloved 2 Go away, you dark miller you, And let me be in peace, The wreath that I've held for so long I don't want to share it with you Run, love3, run And watch out for yourself well The master of the black mill Wants you for his wife tonight (2x) She then became a swallow She flew away from him into the sky But the miller flew as a falcon Right behind her She became a steed so white, And leaped through the first grass 4 But he became the saddle that sat firmly on her back Run, love, run And watch out for yourself well The master of the black mill Wants you for his wife tonight (2x) She became a white hare And ran half the night But the miller became a fox And pursued her close behind She became ship on the high sea And sailed far away from land But he became the helmsman Who stood firmly at the rudder Run, love, run And watch out for yourself well The master of the black mill Wants you for his wife tonight (2x) So went this cursed hunt And to be sure for the whole night So that the miller full of lust Overlooked the coming of morning. The girl turned into the morning light That was shining through the valley The black miller found an end 5 And was never seen again. Run, love, run Back home in the light of morning You'll see the miller nevermore The wild hunt is over. (2x)
