the call of the wood

• 95 çıkışlı opera ix albümü.
• insanı alıp götüren, baştaki vokali hasta eden, hızlandığında ise ritmleri delirten çok başarılı opera ix şarkısı. kendisiyle aynı adı taşıyan albümdeki en başarılı şarkı bile diyebilirim, ama albümdeki şarkıların hepsi çok iyi.
  
  beyond the valley of the silence
  along the paths of ancient knowledge
  led from the dense odours of the wind.
  you will find yourself in the holy wood
  consecrated to the primordial gods.
  baptized with the dew around the oak of this wiccian's mass
  celebrated from the warbling of the crows, og great mother moon.
  ishtar, astarte, inanna, let me feed at your breast
  let me celebrate the fertile union of the horned god
  with the pure white goddess.
  follow the call of the wood.
  follow the voice of the god.
  
  celebrate in the nemeton with red candles
  and autumnal flowers on the stone altar.
  dress yourself with the sky in the magic circle
  and purify yourself with the sacred incense of cernunnos.
  
  bless me mother, 'cause i am your son.
  blessed be my eyes, therefore i can find your way.
  blessed be my nose, therefore i can breath your essence.
  blessed be my mouth, therefore i can talk about you.
  blessed be my chest, therefore i can be faithful to you.
  blessed be my ancestry, therefore i can give life to men and women.
  as you gave life to the universe.
  blessed be my feet, therefore i can follow your way.
  
  let the last smoke disappear carried from the wind.
  rise your eyes full of astral energy
  and look at the crow that will lead your return to silence.
  let the night fall down on you
  as the death curtain falls down on life.
  
  you'll be reborn...
