I Become the Moon by Eliza Gilkyson
I remember yetsterday
When I become the moon
How all the stars came out to play
We danced away the gloom
Circled rouind the ring of stones
Before they fell in ruin
I can hear our voices still
When I become the moon
How Diana ruled the wood
Traces still remain
Shared the wisdom and the herb
Shared the joy and pain
Echos of life's passion plays
Still haunt the bride and groom
But they'll be wed again someday
When I become the moon
Soldiers of the holy wars
Wholly greed command
Claim the earth and all her shores
Stole Diana's land
But in my heart there lingers still
The dark of her perfume
I drink the earthy wine
Until I become the moon
All that's left is history
Of Diana's blood and bones
Fragments of a mystery
The story is our own
But under cover of the stars
Her secret is exhumed
I bow before her beauty now
And I become the moon
