Clachan Chalanais lyrics

As a black night fast approaches dawn



We gather in mist by the gnomon



As the stones are struck by the suns first rays



We feel the Earthpower in our veins



The awesome power that fills the stone



We feel it in our minds and bones



And as we dance around the ring



Joy fills our souls - We start to sing



Old power awakened and growing fast



An awesome force from deep in the past



But there are those who do not understand



And the stones are desecrated



By their hands.







One such group of stones facing desecration at the hands of these people is the
standing stone complex at Callanish on the Isle Of Lewis in Scotland. Sometimes
referred to as the "Stonehenge of the North", this unique arrangment
of stones is facing the same kind of rape that happened at Stonehenge. There
are now plans afoot to construct a hideous unsightly visitor centre there this
ruining the whole aura of the place - along with the plans to build a bigger
road and even to charge an admission fee. Who are these people who in their
arrogance that they can deny the people access to our owntemples? Stone circles
belong to all of us not simply to the powers that be. Remember: These are same
people who seriously considered carpetting Stonehenge with astroturf and even
considered constructing a plastic replica "foamhenge" beside real
monument! Such people are not fit guardians of these places. Free the stones.
Free the stones.
