Pagan Born

I mentioned some time ago that my favourite band by far is Inkubus Sukkubus, the pagan rock group formed in the late 1980s by Candia Ridley, Tony McKormack and Adam Henderson. Candia is such a lovely person – yes, I have met her – and a beautiful singer. The music is just so good and the lyrics of their songs just so exciting. I can listen to them endlessly; I do listen to them endlessly because they help me concentrate while I am writing.

I love all of their songs though I would include All Along the Crooked Way, Wytches, Beltane, Samhain, Supernature, Heart of Lilith, Love Spell, Corn King, Belladonna and Aconite and Pagan Born high among my favourites. I’ve been following the band since I was in my early teens. I have all of their albums and I’ve been to so many concerts with other witches, wizards, pagans and free-spirits of all kinds. Pagan born, oh, yes, pagan born. :-)

A rhythm stirs within the earth
That tells all nature of a birth
A return to light, return to life
And lead us from this darkest night
God of the Sun, now have you come
Your reign of light has just begun
Though all must die to be reborn
Return now on a bright new morn
My lord applauds my Pagan ways
And in my heart he'll always, always stay
Pagan Born!
Pagan Born!
Woe ooh Pagan Born!

In winter's cloak we've sheltered long
Waiting for spring's sweet song
Tho' warmth we found beside the hearth
Its glow could not break through the dark
I look toward the fiery sky
And know that your return is nigh
Though I shall fall as the harvest corn
It is my fate, I'm Pagan Born!
My lord applauds my Pagan ways
And in my heart he'll always, always stay
Pagan Born!
Pagan Born!
Woe ooh Pagan Born!

My lord applauds my Pagan ways
And in my heart he'll always, always stay

My lord applauds my Pagan ways
And in my heart he'll always, always stay
Pagan Born!
Pagan Born!
Woe ooh Pagan Born!
