Cernunnos, Vindonos, Cernunnos Come unto us
Cernunnos, Vindonos, Cernunnos Come unto us
Cernunnos, Tyrannos, Vindonos, Cernunnos Come unto us

Poseidon, we ride on your waves
Poseidon we dive beneath the surface down into your subterranean caves
Where Naiads and Nereiads caress us tempestuously on your ocean bed

Cernunnos, Vindonos, Cernunnos Come unto us
Cernunnos, Vindonos, Cernunnos Come unto us
Cernunnos, Tyrannos, Vindonos, Cernunnos Come unto us

Dark Horned Lord of the storm-bruised night
Samhain God of Death and Initiation
Guide us to Regeneration
Wild antlered Lord of the Underworld
Be with us tonight, Master of the Skull and the Phallus
Carry us through the long dark night
Plunge your staff to stir into the chur-ning cauldron chalice cunt
As we ride, ride, ride
On the Wild Hunt

Come Hexen  come hags
Come Vixen Come vipers,  Vertiginous vendors of witch-wares
Riding on cats, hares and shimmering vermillion stags
Come Fae Come Strega
Come fornicators
Come sooner... or come later
But don't come yet all ye masturbators

Come witches come bitches
Come broom-backseat-hitchers
Come ladies come lords, Come harlots in hordes in your red and black stitches
O come all ye sphinxes and lynx-riding bat-lashed skittering griffins
Come biters Come scratchers, come writhers and gnashers
Come flamewraiths, come fireswisps, come unto ashes

Come warlocks come gargoyles and gruff-girdled grimlicks
Come pungent and tumescent
Come with unguents and ointments, with flails, fetishes, fetches and feathers,
Come starkers or lathered or leathered
Rearing or tearing come
 Come whatever the weather... and live!
Come whether or not You've got what it takes
Or whether you've got what it gives

Come incubi, come succubi
Come homunculi
Come sorors come fraters
Come sisters come brothers
Come languid-limbed lovers
Come Cosmic Mothers with undulating udders
Come HermAphrodites, Hybrids, Hydras, And Come All ye ...Others
 Come One, Come All
Come All-in-One and Come-One-in-All
