Old Gods
Rising with Heathen Flame: Unveiling the Eternal Spirit in Green Lung's 'Old Gods'
Lyrics
Upon the moor and the mountainside
Reflecting on the moor and mountainside.
We meet before the dawn
Gathering before sunrise.
From barren shores to the tumuli
From desolate shores to ancient burial mounds.
The Old Religion lives on
Affirming the continuation of the ancient religious traditions.
At the sunrise
As the sun rises.
The stones and stars align
Celebrating the alignment of stones and stars.
Light up the fires
Illuminating fires in homage.
'Cause old gods never die
Emphasizing the eternal nature of old gods.
O well, they say that Jerusalem
Referencing the belief that Jerusalem has English origins.
Was built on English ground
Contemplating the foundation of Jerusalem.
But from the tor to the sunken fen
From the high tor to the sunken fen.
We stand on heathen land
Standing on pagan or heathen territory.
At the sunrise
As the sun rises again.
The stones and stars align
Acknowledging the cosmic alignment of stones and stars.
Light up the fires
Kindling fires in reverence.
'Cause old gods never die
Reiterating the immortality of old gods.
Old gods never die
Affirming the enduring nature of ancient deities.
So to the peak we climb
Climbing to the summit in devotion.
Holding torches high
Raising torches high in homage.
We keep the flame alive
Sustaining the sacred flame.
At the sunrise
As the sun rises once more.
The stones and stars align
Highlighting the celestial alignment of stones and stars.
Light up the fires
Illuminating fires to honor the timeless gods.
Cause old gods never die
Reaffirming the everlasting existence of old gods.
