lyrics

In this darkly splendid world
I went to make my way one day
Through the dark night as a child
I set out to find the "one, true way"

On the forest's dew damp lawn
By the Abiegnus mountainside
I woke up to the Golden Dawn
And Tetelestai I learned to cry!

...And when all the phantoms vanish
And I see the formless fire
As we dance within the moonlight
Naked in Nature's empire.

In the vault of light I heard
The whisperings of some god unknown
Like a lover's gentle words
I knew that it was time now to atone

For the sweethearts that I'd wronged
For the sorrows of Isis who seeks
For the kisses that belonged
Upon only one true lover's cheek

...And when all the phantoms vanish
And I see the formless fire
As we dance within the moonlight
Naked in Nature's empire.

MY LOVE, MY HEART DID DIE
MY LOVE, MY HEART DID DIE
...Sweetheart please hear my sigh...

Into darkness we must go
To initiate all we can be
My True Will i must know
Open your eyes now and come with me

For the sweat our bodies share
For the wine and bread your body is
Please mo astoirí know I care
Aphrodite, goddess, you're my bliss.

DAMANTA (Elegwen O'Maoileoin) Vancouver, British Columbia

Damanta is the original Irish/Celtic music project begun by Elegwen O'Maoileoin for the Vancouver CelticFest in 2005, which he opened on the outdoor stage at Granville and Georgia to the pre-parade mob.

Damanta is the Irish word for AWESOME. I know, I know.
That's not true. But it is. You just haven't spoken with enough old, old people in rural Ireland. But that is really how it was once used.
