about

This is a very true summary of my formative pagan years!

lyrics

Come gather around all you good kindly people
I'll ask you to join in the story you hear.
For I have a secret of a greater power
And a passion which unto this pagan is dear
For I have confession about my own power, and you seem good people in whom to confide
But I will ask you this as I tell you my story; be sure that you have a drink by your side

I met some shaman when they were ravin'
They banged on their drums 'til the sun it was nigh.
We danced and we partied and in those small hours
We didn't use broomsticks to get ourselves high.
They showed me a way to find my fulfillment.
They showed me a way to find my own bliss
So I shared with them where lay my own power
I'm a far better pagan when I am pissed

(Chorus)
And so gather you round be you druid or sham,
Qabbalist or nordic or be you a witch
For I do love my god, and I love my goddess
But I'm a far better pagan when I am pissed.

I met some witches who showed me their craft
They took me to woods in the dead of the night.
We all stood in circles, they raised up the power
They took of their kit, I was full of delight.
And when it was over they blessed up the wine, and they told me the secret of the five fold kiss.
So I shared with them where lay my own power
I'm a far better pagan when I am pissed

(Chorus)

I met some druids who at our Stomehenge
Did great up the sun on the beats of the year.
They too stood in circles and told many stories
They gladly did share out their wine and their beer.
I have a friend, and he is a bard
And he tells a strange story of very bright fish.
You keep you salmon, me?
I'll have a bevy.
I'm a far better pagan when I am pissed.

(Chorus)

There you go people I've told you my story.
I've laid my soul down at the base of your heart.
For I'll follow no man but shall learn from any
Who is gracious enough for to show me their craft.
And I have a god whose a real bad-ass fellow
I have a goddess, a right groovy bitch.
So join with me brothers and join with me sisters
I'm a far better pagan when I am pissed

(Chorus)
