Two "Pagan Rock" Hymns to Mother Earth

"Heartbeat Of The Earth" by Inkubus Sukkubus, Album: Heartbeat of the Earth (1995)

Can you hear the Heartbeat of the Earth?
Can you hear the Heartbeat of the Earth?
The rhythm comes and the rhythm goes
The river ebbs and the river flows
Can you hear the Heartbeat of the Earth?
Can you hear a whisper on the wind?
Can you hear a whisper on the wind?
A voice that says 'Come with me'
'And I'll set you forever free'
Do you know the mystery of the Moon?
Do you know the mystery of the Moon?
Up high in the midnight sky
Up high where the witches fly
Do you know the mystery of the Moon?
Have you seen the turning of the Wheel?
Have you seen the turning of the Wheel?
The Wheel spins round and round
It picks you up and it drops you down
Have you seen the turning of the Wheel?


"Mother Earth" by Within Temptation, Album: Mother Earth (2000)

Birds and butterflies
Rivers and mountains she creates
But you'll never know
The next move she'll make
You can try
But it is useless to ask why
Cannot control her
She goes her own way

She rules until the end of time
She gives and she takes
She rules until the end of time
She goes her own way

With every breath
And all the choices that we make
We are only passing through on her way
I find my strength
Believing that your soul lives on
Until the end of time
I'll carry it with me

Once you will know my dear
You don't have to fear
A new beginning always starts at the end
Until the end of time
She goes her own way

Two songs that have not to do with rape and destruction of mother earth, but with a worship of her. Two spiritualized songs inspired from pagan ages, when nature was respectful and mystified. Today, at modern times, we have released ourselves from the mental burden and anxiety of mysticism and such metaphysics, but unfortunatelly we didn't find a creative belief to replace it. So Nature, or Mother Earth has been appeared to us as a demystified materialized passive and neutral object stripped from any spiritual meaning that may restrained us from her nowadays predatory exploitation. A perception that has its origin in christian concepts of human superiority, a religion that has brutally persecuted paganism and old naturalistic religions. So, a quest for a new Human-Nature relation is the point at issue and that is what these songs probably try to tell us by echoing a mythological naturalistic past
