    Burning Times Lyrics
    [Intro]
    [Verse One]
    In the cool of the evening, they used to gather
    Neath the stars in the meadow circling an old oak tree
    At the times appointed... by the seasons...
    Of the earth and the phases of the moon
    In the center stood a woman
    Equal with the others and 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 through the knowledge she gave them
    Herbs to heal their bodies, spells to make their spirits whole
    Can't ya hear them chanting healing incantations
    Calling forth the wise ones, celebrating in dance and song...
    [Chorus]
    ... Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali... Inanna...
    [Verse Two]
    There were those who came to power through domination
    And they bonded in the 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 declared an inquisition
    It was war against the women, whose powers they feared
    In this holocaust against The Nature People
    Nine million European women died
    And the tale is told of those who by the hundreds
    Holding together, chose their death in the sea
    While chanting the praises of the Mother Goddess
    A refusal of betrayal, women were dying to be free
    [Chorus]
    ... Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali... Inanna...
    [Verse Three]
    Now the earth is a witch and the men still burn her
    Stripping her down with mining and the poisons of their wars
    Still to us the earth is a healer, a teacher, 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
    [Outro]
    Blessing Let not repeat the past ever again

    What a beautiful version, I know a few of Christy's versions but haven't heard this.

    Thank you for sharing this cover. Beautiful voice, nice rendition of Charlie Murphy's song, although I don't agree with some of the changes. I hope this will inspire people, & those inspired will seek out Charlie Murphy's original version, especially his 1991 Collaboration on Rumors of the Big Wave.

      +misstreebird Which changes to your object to? Is it because he acknowledges that it is humanity that is/was the problem, just not the men? Original lyrics:ARTIST: Charlie Murphy

      I became Asatru in prison...NOT white power...with a background in Jehovah's Witnesses on my mother's side and Southern Baptist on my dad's.
