Sisters of the moon ascend Be amongst us Be there not afraid... As all my life ascended There the angels sang inside of me The more you realize the more you gain. As though there's something living said There beyond the garden of the windows Rest upon the life Lay it on the line There lie the souls within the lost world Where memory is forgotten On the magic Horse of Fire. And all the worlds are locked in memory Caught within our apathy You get the picture not the story. Honor your past Honor your life Honor the history of the ancient. As every thought creates a backlash The senseless death The waste. Should it be a mantra Should it be a book You give a little knowledge Realizing the glory of the wise... And the ancient lives. Sisters of the moon ascend Be amongst us Be there not afraid. Brothers of the sun ascend Be amongst us Be there not afraid. Brothers of the sky ascend Be amongst us Be there not afraid. Mothers of the earth ascend Be amongst us Be there not afraid.

Beating on the drum Shouting at the moon No matter what the promise is I'll never move from this old land of mine. The promise is to pay Just watch the people try to steal The land beneath the clay The land on which our blood has stained the grass. Beating on the drum Screaming at the moon Promises, oh promises I'll never move from this old land of mine. It's a far far cry From all the words of exultation A far far cry How each child is supposed to be equal I'm amazed As you look the other way To this day We still don't believe Far far cry Beating on the drum Far far cry Screaming at the moon Beating on the drum Far far cry How long do we need to push our brother to the ocean How long do we need to push our sister to the sea How many broken promises until we get the message That until we know the equal we will never feel the free? It's a far far cry It's a far far cry It's a far far cry So until we know our equal We commit our suicide. Beating on the drum Screaming at the moon Count upon my heart As you can feel the earth is beating Count upon my love And there is heaven for the taking Count upon the rest Count upon the last Count upon the past As it will wait until we're coming home. Far far cry It's a far far cry It's a far far cry It's a far far cry How long do we need to push our brother to the ocean How long do we need to push our sister to the sea How many broken promises until we get the message That until we know the equal we will never feel the free? It's a far far cry Beating of the drum Far far cry Screaming at the moon Far far cry Beating of the drum Far far cry Screaming at the moon PART II: LET THERE BE PEACE Let there be peace deep like a river Let there be dreams filling the sky Let there be hope shout from the mountains Like a never ending cry. Let there be peace deep like a river Let there be dreams filling the sky Let there be hope shout from the mountains Like a never ending cry.
