I chant against the spirit,
against the walking (spirit),
against the riding one,
against the running one,
against the sitting one,
against the signing one,
against the travelling one,
against the flying one,
It shall completely wither and die.

A year turns with the spinning wheel.
Winter falls asleep.
The Sun returns with the mornings dawn,
her light guides my way.
The Spring returns,
as sings the birds,
The trees speak,
And flows the creek.
Seeds grow,
With my hands I sowed
This garden dear,
Theres magic here.
A deer feeds in these fields of green.
I wait there in silence.
This bow it carries such burden.
This life before me, I shall honor thee.
With knife I kneel
I begin to peel.
pelt from bone,
blood to stone.
A song I sing
to this beautiful being.
Your spirit lives,
my thanks I give.
I feel a break inside of me.
Water rushes my feet
This child beloved burden.
This life inside me,
I shall honor thee.
To Earth I kneel,
I begin to feel
a tender shaking silence.
Her head it is crowned,
As I bear down.
This blessed birth without violence.
A year turns with the spinning wheel.
Ground bears autumns flame.
The moonlit nights grow longer.
Her light guides my way.
As Winters woke,
her icy stroke.
The trees sleep
o'er frozen creek.
I lit this hearth,
from the core of Earth.
Keep warm my dear.
Theres magic here.

Roots run deep.
Through bones and stone.
A breeze carries me...
To the heart of the mountain.

A second sight to me,
You have gifted.
This gift was more precious
than all the worlds riches.
You sit in the doorway
Not outside it.
You are with us, beyond us,
in the earth below us.
A splendor, your antlers,
for wandering souls.
When we pass, you will greet us
Through the door of death.
The we will sing this song to you,
In our next life.
I will not ask you for riches,
but only for this sight again.

Sun and Moon Dance North Carolina
We're seed and tree with roots deep into earth and branches stretching to the heavens. We are the voice of creation…from the smallest of creatures to the mightiest of beasts. We are songs of dancing fire, whirling wind, flowing water and the standing stone. We are pain and sorrow woven into hope and beauty. We are forest and meadow… the mountain and river. We are what was and what is becoming. ... more

It is different than previous releases, nonetheless it is astonishing and beautiful homage to nature. One reproach, like both previous albums this one too flown by so quickly. Do yourself a favor and listen to this music in forest you like to visit.

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.
