 Lyrics: 
 In the cool of the evening they used to gather'Neath the stars in the meadow circled near an old oak tree
 At the times appointed by the seasons
 Of the earth and the phases of the moon
 In the center often stood a woman
 Equal with the others, respected for her worth
 One of the many we call the witches
 The healers and the teachers of the wisdom of the earth
 And the people grew in the knowledge she gave them
 Herbs to heal their bodies, spells to make their spirits whole
 Hear them chanting healing incantations
 Calling for the wise ones, celebrating in dance and song
 
 Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
 Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
 
 There were those who came to power through domination
 They were bonded in their worship of a dead man on a cross
 They sought control of the common people
 By demanding allegiance to the church of Rome
 And the Pope, he commenced the inquisition
 It was a war against the women whose powers they feared
 In this holocaust, in this age of evil
 Nine million European women, they died
 And the tale is told of those who by the hundreds
 Holding hands together chose their deaths in the sea
 While chanting the praises of the mother goddess
 A refusal of betrayal, women were dying to be free
 
 Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
 Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
 
 Now the Earth is a witch and we still burn her
 Stripping her down with mining and the poison of our wars
 Still to us the Earth is a healer, a teacher, and a mother
 A weaver of a web of light that keeps us all alive
 She gives us the vision to see through the chaos
 She gives us the courage, it is our will to survive
 
 Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
 Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
 Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
 Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna
