[Intro]
|Riff 1  |Riff 2  | 2x
 
 
[Verse 1]
Riff 1
I can hear them floating on the wind
   Riff 2
Immortal souls, their weeping saddens me
Riff 1
Mother earth, you know your time is near
 Riff 2
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

The fruit of her body laden

Through the corn doll

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

End the harvest

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
