about

A song about the meaning of the word scapegoat, and the execution of a young wiccan woman by an ignorant village, they used her as a sacrificial escape route, 'The sins of the goat' sacrifice
She is reborn in a village of light and rebirths as the Heron

lyrics

The Burning Of Cathaidh

And Cathaidh will burn to the tale of the dark side
Cathaidh will go to a village of light
When the young lass returns she will sit as the heron
Right bye her true loverʼs side

In her hands crystal around her neck amber
And the feather of the Raven mid her hairfold
When Cathaidh returns she will sit as the heron
Right by her true loverʼs side

Twas on the Town Moor she was tied dragged and bonded
On the Town Moor a spectacle thrown
Escape through the Goat was the villagerʼs reason
Who are cursed by every seed they have sewn

And Cathaidh will burn to the tale of the dark side
Cathaidh will go to a village of light
When the young lass returns she will sit as the heron
Right bye her true loverʼs side

For beautiful maiden are lifeʼs burning ember
Beautiful maiden are a gift to all shores
And the child of the Wicca who lies burned by the christian
Whoʼs ignorance leaves the heart cold

And Cathaidh will burn to the tale of the dark side
Cathaidh will go to a village of light
When the young lass returns she will sit as the heron
Right bye her true loverʼs side
