A live teaser demo of the opening track for the upcoming album: "Earthwalk", by Virago. Coming soon to a third-eye theater near you!

Burn the stake, not the witch! The Divine Feminine is alive and well, for she will no longer be hidden...Stay tuned, evolving Earthlings! Aloha.

lyrics

she was burned at the stake
for hearing holy voices

she was slaughtered in hate
for making her own choices

she was banished in rage
for loving men in freedom

she was silenced in fear
for speaking words of wisdom

her books were buried
under the ground where her blood was spilled

hidden from sight was her gospel
of sacred sound and light...

burn the stake, not the witch...

and she was born again,
but again, she would not survive
her radiant light attracting envious eyes...

and just before her fate was sealed
she sliced her sword and swung her shield
so bravely on the coming mob
hellbent to swallow her shining spirit whole...

and just before her hands were bound
she cast one last seraphic spell
that showered her in purest love
where the pain could never, ever, sever her soul...

and just before her throat was cut
she uttered her last prophetic words
that one day she would return
and her white magic would reign
once again
in time again
for all time again...

burn the stake, not the witch
we'll burn the stake now
in the blessed fire of our sacred hearts...

burn the stake, not the witch
for it is not her who is the heretic
but the hierarchy who hid her...

and she will no longer be hidden
for she is born again
in time again
as promised, as prophecized
and there will be no more lies

for now she rides the lightning
immortal in the distant skies
and now she guides the shining
reflecting in my reverent eyes

for she who beholds her never dies...

burn the stake, not the witch
we'll burn the stake now
in the blessed fire of our sacred hearts...

and I am born again
in time again
for all time again
as promised, as prophecized
and there will be no more lies...

and I do hear holy voices!
and I do make my own choices!
and I do love men in freedom!
and I do speak words of wisdom!

yeah we'll burn the stake now
in the blessed fire of our sacred hearts
for all time
until the end of time
for now is the time!
