City Pagans
By:  Kenny and Tzipora

We have hidden in the valleys
We've hidden in the woods
In the cities we were nameless
And our rites remained in hoods.

But the time has come upon us
To rebuild the cup of joy
From the cities great and mighty
Sparta, Crete and Troy.

We have loosed the call among us
To our kinfolk near and far
Our gods respond and answer
"Spread more beauty and more cheer.

Though once the price was costly
We require from you this:
Love and trust and friendship
And the sacred five-fold kiss."

Now the burning times have ended
And Gaea awaits her call
From the distant country farmlands
And the cities great and tall.

For deep within the cities wait
The power of rebirth
To greet the gods of ancients
And their duties to the earth

Once the gods had flourished
In the hills and mountains high
But now their children need them
In the cities hear their cry!

The age of science welcomes
Once again the myth of old
Of promises unbroken
Yes, our children will be told.

The age of science welcomes
Once again the myth of old
Of promises unbroken
Yes, our children will be told.
