***

The clash of worlds is at hand.
I am the first. I am the last.
The passage has occurred.
I am the knowing. I am the lost.
I am the honored. I am the scorned.

Look to the Guardian of the cautious West
The White Tiger preys the autumn winds
Eyes pierce the hidden world
Claws cut like Virtue's sword

Look to the Guardian from the North Abyss
The Black Serpent carries winter's kiss
The frozen earth like a snake that sleeps
A thousand years and the gift of speech

The clash of worlds is at hand.
I am the first. I am the last.
The passage has occurred.
I am the knowing. I am the lost.
I am the honored. I am the scorned.

Look to the Guardian of the ancient East
The Blue Dragon forges Spring's release
Reigning shower and the soul of rain
The forest sprouts to life again

Look to the Guardian soaring from the South
The Red Bird lost phoenix from the fire
Knowledge fortune all seed's source
Song soothes all hallowed force

The clash of worlds is at hand.
That where Divinity in the tiniest things
Meets disregard, flat denial, dogma, or the wretched mistaking.
Dominion -
The wholesale merchandising of a belief
That sells sickness -
Born to sleepers,
The unnatural seems Natural,
It is slow death
Waking from this world,
When the Truth is veiled...
Is there no choice but to breathe in?
Sleep?

The clash of worlds is at hand.
I am the first and the last.
The passage has occurred.
I am the knowing. I am the lost.
I am the honored. I am the scorned.

The clash of worlds is at hand.
I am the first and the last.
The passage has occurred.
I am the knowing. I am the lost.
I am the honored and the scorned.

I am the first and the last.
I am the honored and the scorned.
I am the honored and the scorned.

@themixmaster3 Well to put it simply, This music is not depressing to me. if you ask a lot of other people in here, I think they'd say that we like the way this music makes us feel in our heart and mind. It's very empowering to the mind and to the soul. We can feel the passion in the music, the hidden truths in the meaning of the music and the passion the singer has for. This kind of music is everything that the mainstream music industry is not. This music here is based on love.

She also sings with The Eden House, you will not be disappointed.

Gosh, I LOVE this song--it is just superb! It indeed sounds like a true Pagan song of power; complete with the calling of the four elemental corners of the earth! It is a 'kick-butt' song if there ever was one! The Goddess Hecate would surely be most pleased with this one! It makes me want to draw down the moon and do a ritualistic dance to the beat of some fine drums!
