Lugh's Song Lugh's Song (T. Thorn Coyle)

Lugh strike Your spear
In a shaft of sunlight.
You, the lover, come to the feast.
Lugh strike Your spear
In a shaft of sunlight
We heed Your knocking, we open the door.

chorus:
Spiral outward,
Burning in brightness.
Strong and True,
striding o'er the Earth.
Spiral downward,
Burn into darkness.
Death to sleep
in the tomb of birth.

Lugh strike your spear
in a shaft of sunlight
you who carry the gifts of all.
Lugh strike Your spear
in a shaft of sunlight.
Radiant beauty, sit by our hearth.

Lugh strike Your spear
In a shaft of sunlight.
Dying One, let go, let go.
Lugh strike Your spear
In a shaft of sunlight,
Lead us into slumber.

Lugh strike Your spear
In a shaft of sunlight.
Summer passes, away, away.
Lugh strike Your spear
In a shaft of sunlight
Show us the crossing, carry us home.

Lugh strike Your spear
In a shaft of sunlight.
You, the lover, come to the feast.
Lugh strike Your spear
In a shaft of sunlight
We heed Your knocking, we open the door.

chorus:
Spiral outward,
Burning in brightness.
Strong and True,
striding o'er the Earth.
Spiral downward,
Burn into darkness.
Death to sleep
in the tomb of birth.

Lugh strike your spear
in a shaft of sunlight
you who carry the gifts of all.
Lugh strike Your spear
in a shaft of sunlight.
Radiant beauty, sit by our hearth.

Lugh strike Your spear
In a shaft of sunlight.
Dying One, let go, let go.
Lugh strike Your spear
In a shaft of sunlight,
Lead us into slumber.

Lugh strike Your spear
In a shaft of sunlight.
Summer passes, away, away.
Lugh strike Your spear
In a shaft of sunlight
Show us the crossing, carry us home.
