about

Danu's Land was composed in 1993, and recorded in 1998:
Danu is the supreme Celtic mother/goddess who has disappeared - out to sea, under the lake, under the hill (Sidh/Sî mounds), into fairie land, with all ancient heroic Celts.

lyrics

Intro:

Return to your other world lover, Leannan Sî (fairy helpers)
Take your magic stars and go
Summon me later, send me a charioteer
Shake your golden cloak around me
But let me not forget you were here

Verse

I can't forget your wild ways
banished in deep waters
Or white sea's endless beating
on your shoreless dwelling
Or enchanted music's echo still wailing

Chorus
Sweet as the voice of angels

Winter misted byways
hide the great fellowship of heroes
Their stories shrouded in mystery
Their truth rings out from childhood memory

Listen for their keening call
In your heart you will hear their song
Hear your own voice, See your own dream
"Come to me" they sing in melodious strain

Live forever deep in Danu's dream
No thine or mine, no sin or pain with the fairy queen
Where courtly lovers awaken from their long trance
Noble warriors unfold their slow dance

Fountain of ancient rivers
Bridge of wings to Danu's land
Passage to her other world.
Her crystal mansion's watery helm
Where shadows never fall on Tir Na Nog's eternal shining realm

Lovers one and all,
heed her call to exile's end
Where abundance never fails
and the shining guardian's golden rays
bring a white shadow to a sweeter brighter day
