The Old Gods love their Children
G            C1
In their groves and city abodes
         C
The Old Gods love their children
G            C1
Both those young and those old
           C
In their secret spaces
Em              C
Between the worlds of gods and men
            Em                 C
With tools of creation in hand
Em            C
They call the secret sacred names when!
     Em                     C     D1 D
The Old Gods love their Children
G            C1
In their groves and city abodes
         C
The Old Gods love their children
G            C1
Both those young and those old
           C
A heartbeat from the Earth
Em          C
So sacred, free, and deep in worth
   Em                C
A full moon shines brightly down
Em                 C
A festival light on anc-ient mirth
  Em                C        D1 D
The Old Gods love their Children
G            C1
In their groves and city abodes
         C
The Old Gods love their children
G            C1
Both those young and those old
           C
A cup, a blade, a union made
Em                C
A kiss, a pledge, a divine bed
  Em                C
A Summer comes, a Winter goes
Em                C
A God and a Goddess wed
  Em        C       D1 D
The Old Gods love their Children
G            C1
In their groves and city abodes
         C
The Old Gods love their children
G            C1
Both those young and those old
           C
