Agalloch - Summerisle Reprise lyrics
[Agalloch - Summerisle Reprise lyrics]
And the ministers fled the
Island never to return
What my grandfather started
Out of expediency
My father continued out of love
He brought me up
The same way: to reverence the
Music, and the drama, and the rituals
Of the old gods to love
Nature and to fear it
And to rely on it and to appease
It when necessary he brought me up
"He brought you up to be a pagan!"
"A heathen, conceivably, but not, I hope
An unenlightened one"
Island never to return
What my grandfather started
Out of expediency
My father continued out of love
He brought me up
The same way: to reverence the
Music, and the drama, and the rituals
Of the old gods to love
Nature and to fear it
And to rely on it and to appease
It when necessary he brought me up
"He brought you up to be a pagan!"
"A heathen, conceivably, but not, I hope
An unenlightened one"
