Song of the Innocents

Here is a song I did the lyrics for. The music is by Larry Hogan and David Lord. We all worked together on the first Celtic Myth album called, The Voice of the Celtic Myth with the Shining One’s song that some of you may remember.

This song here is a very sweet, quirky song— a song sung by children about the Pole Shift, the lyrics are funny and eerie at the same time. Here they are:

“Song of the Innocents” (Album: Creation, Greenwood’s second Celtic Myth album)

Two suns high in the east

Snake bites Coma Berenice*

Flip flop the little kids say

Wilde tribe going their way…

Flip-flop losing the moon

Maybe happen real soon

Flip-flop the little kids sing

Watch now everything spin…

Two suns high in the east

Snake bites Coma Berenice*

Flip flop the little kids dance

Mannan’ Mac’s** humming a trance…

Shine, shine having some fun

Snowman in noon day sun

Flip-flop the winter’s here

Strange thing for the time of year

Waves rise high in the sky

Magic keeping us dry

Flip-flop the little kids dance

Mannan’ Mac’s humming a trance

Splish-splash having some fun

Tick-tock coming undone

Splish-splash the little kids play

Grown-ups losing their way

Winds rush over our heads

All night, safe in our beds

Hip-hop the little kids dance

Mannan’ Mac’s humming a trance

Shine, shine having some fun

Snowman in the noon day sun

Watch now the winter’s here

Strange thing for the time of year

* Coma Bernice is a constellation in Leo. Its name means ‘Berenice’s Hair’, and refers to the legend of Queen Berenice II of Egypt, who sacrificed her long hair.

**Mannan’ Mac’ is short for the Irish God Manannan Mac Lir, (sometimes written Lyr) from the mythical Tuatha De Dannan.

He was the ocean God that took the prince little Lugh away and trained him to come back and fight and defeat the evil forces of the Formorians, who were sometimes depicted as having the body of a man and the head of a goat, like Baphomet.

Mannan’ Mac’ was a teacher of small children that is why the children sing about him with glee in the song. (sw)

About Track 5: The Song of the Innocent (from “Creation”: The second Greenwood never-released Celtic Myth album)

Creation was made in late 1999-early 2000, but I never got it out and released it because things started to change very rapidly in 2000 and I didn’t have time to work on it.

But we’ll now have it out and released in three months or so.

It has a very beautiful touch to it, it’s so very moving. It tells the story of the Tuatha De Dannan Gods who, as the legend says, came out of Africa (Ethiopia) and travelled to Ireland in our prehistory.

So it is an “out of Eden” storyline. (sw)

P.S. I’m making a page of the best of Stuie Wilde’s songs with my personal ten favourites:

Sweet Freedom’s Kiss, Our Time Has Come, The Love of a Silent Moon, The Shining Ones etc, and a track or so from my latest

“The Mystery of the Sacred “O”…

Which like all music alums it is will out ‘soon’—tee hee. Well soon-ish. (sw)
