Cloak Of Feathers

Song: Cloak Of Feathers
Artist: Damh The Bard
Album: Herne's Apprentice

Owl at my window
Calling from the tree

I hear our voice
In the cool moonlight
Do you sing those words for me

To me they sound so empty
Why do you sound so sad

As you tell me of
The things you've seen
And the home that you once had

Home that you once had

Beyond the mist
Of myth and legend
In a place not far from here

Beneath the stones on the hill
I want to see your land
And I wonder if I'll ever
Understand

The owl she told me
Of her home within the hill

Of the wonder
And the magic land
That lies within there still

But a curse it follows lifetimes
And it took away her skin

For the words of
A wicked man
Made birds of her kin

Birds of her kin

Beyond the mist
Of myth and legend
In a place not far from here

Beneath the stones on the hill
I want to see your land
And I wonder if I'll ever
Understand

Owl of the nighttime
Owl of the sky

Spread now your
Ghost-white wings
And on your back I'll fly

Over the forest
To the hollow hill of stones
Land there
Within the ring
And call for your home

Call for your home

Lift now the mist
Of myth and legend
In a place not far from here

Wake the stones on the hill
I want to see you home

Give me
A Cloak of Feathers
So I'll never be alone

And the mists they part
As through we fly
In my Cloak of Feathers
The owl and I

Birds fill the trees in this wonderland
And an ancient curse is broken
By the love of a mortal man

Lady spin your circle bright
Weave your web
Of dark and light

Earth, air
Fire and water
Bind us as one

Lady spin your circle bright
Weave your web
Of dark and light

Earth, air
Fire and water
Bind us as one

Lady spin your circle bright
Weave your web
Of dark and light

Earth, air
Fire and water
Bind us as one

Lady spin your circle bright
Weave your web
Of dark and light

Earth, air
Fire and water
Bind us as one

Bind us as one

Got it. The song's about Blodeuwedd!

It's brilliant how Damh's songs get you to look up real ancient myths. What an ingenious way to transmit an all but forgotten culture in an interactive & fun manner!

Wow! Loved this! Thank you for sharing!

Why don't you go and see him live then? He'll be playing near Fulda on October 1, 2011.

@Vampiro413 In the Celtic society that's what Bards were, lore masters (old myths/histories) who pass it down with songs. So "Damh the Bard" tells you that.

Thank you for posting this and your channel. I am Pagan and it really brings me peace. I like being able to enjoy my own religious music. Some of the singers are so beautiful and the words take my breath away.

Blodeuwedd was made from flowers by two wizards to be the companion of a hero, she was led astray by an man who was envious of him; Leading to his death . Therefore she was cursed never to show her face in daylight again. The name Blodeuwedd means"Flower Face."

[Vampiro413]

@darkdivad Sound reasoning, yeah. I too was kinda confused about where the mortal man came in, but I don't really research myths so...

[darkdivad]

@Vampiro413 im not sure if this is blodeuwedd, I looked up the myth but it doesnt mention the home within the hill and it mentions it made birds of her kin, rather then just her. So i think it might be a different myth. Also he also has another song about blodeuwedd and he doesnt tend to repeat the same myths. the myth also doesnt mention a curse being broken by the love of a mortal man. If you find another myth about owls, please let me know. Im quite curious about this now.
