Story Behind the Song
I wrote it to be read in Tawanda's Tribe 1994 Samhain Sabbatt that took place in Orlando, Florida. Only about a dozen copies of the piece were distributed only to the people participating directly in the presentation of the Sabbat. Now, by the miracle of cyberspace, people have picked it up and are spreading it around without knowing who wrote it. You can see it at over 3000 websites worldwide.
Please do give credit to me, Lynne O'Connor, if you distribute it.
Lyrics
Charge of the Dark Goddess
(c) Lynne O'Connor
The Dark Goddess speaks to us, through the mouths of Lilith, Kali, Tiamet, Hekate, Nix, the Black Madonna, Nemesis and Morgaine.
I am the Darkness behind and beneath the shadows.
I am the absence of air that awaits at the bottom of every breath.
I am the Ending before Life begins again, the Decay that fertilizes the Living.
I am the Bottomless Pit, the never-ending struggle to reclaim that which is denied.
I am the Key that unlocks every Door.
I am the Glory of Discovery, for I am that which is hidden, secluded and forbidden.
Come to me at the Dark Moon and see that which can not be seen, face the terror that is yours alone.
Swim to me through the blackest oceans to the center of your greatest fears-the Dark God and I will keep you safe.
Scream to us in terror, and yours will be the Power to Forbear.
Think of me when you feel pleasure, and I will intensify it, until the time when I may have the greatest pleasure of meeting you at the Crossroads Between the Worlds.
