[Verse 1]
Riff 1
I can hear them floating on the wind

Immortal souls, their weeping saddens me

Mother earth, you know your time is near

Awaken lust, the seed is sown and reaped

[Verse 2]
Riff 1
Through the western isle I hear the dead awaken
Riff 2
Rising slowly to the court of Avalon
Riff 1
The cauldron of the head of Annwyn laced with envy
Riff 2
Dark around its edge with pearl and destiny
Riff 3
All my days I've waited for the sign
Riff 4
The one that brings me closer to the isle of Avalon
Riff 1
I can feel the power flowing through my veins
Riff 2
My heart is beating louder close to Avalon
Csus2 I can hear you Csus2 Can you hear me? Dsus2 I can feel you Bsus2 Can't you feel me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G Fertility Mother Goddess Cadd9 D Em Celebration, sow the seeds of the born G The fruit of her body laden Cadd9 Through the corn doll F You will pray for them all Em G The image of Mother Goddess Cadd9 D Em Lying dormant, in the eyes of the dead G The sheaf of the corn is broken Cadd9 End the harvest D Throw the dead on the pyre
[Chorus]
E Emaj7 D A I hear her crying the tears of an angel E Emaj7 D The voices I hear in my head E Emaj7 D A Blessed the fruits are the corn of the earth C D Mother earth, holy blood of the dead

[Verse 4]
Riff 1
Rising levels of the tidal lakes protect them
Riff 2
Keepers of the Goddess in the underworld
Riff 3
Holding powers of the mystics, deep inside them
Riff 4
Nineteen maidens, guardians of the Otherworld
Riff 1
Mortal conflict born of Celtic legend
Riff 2
That apart from seven none returned from Avalon
Csus2 Mother earth Csus2 I can feel you Dsus2 My rebirth Bsus2 Now completed
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G Fertility Mother Goddess Cadd9 D Em Celebration, sow the seeds of the born G The fruit of her body laden Cadd9 Through the corn doll F You will pray for them all Em G The image of Mother Goddess Cadd9 D Em Lying dormant, in the eyes of the dead G The sheaf of the corn is broken Cadd9 End the harvest D Throw the dead on the pyre

[Verse 5]
Em G To have the belief of others Cadd9 D Em Looking for the isle to show them a sign G Fertility of all mothers Cadd9 F Em Stood in silence waiting now for their turn G The gateway to Avalon Cadd9 D Em The island where the souls of the dead are reborn G Cadd9 D Brought here to die and be transferred into the earth and then for rebirth
[Chorus]
E Emaj7 D A I hear her crying the tears of an angel E Emaj7 D The voices I hear in my head E Emaj7 D A Blessed the fruits are the corn of the earth C D E Mother earth, holy blood of the dead Emaj7 D A The water in rivers and rhymes rises quickly E Emaj7 D Are flowing and flooding the land E Emaj7 D A The sea shall return once again just to hide them C D E Lost souls on the isle of the dead
