We Were Not Alone - Portrait

As we ventured to the land of the dead

To seek patronage of our ancestors

The ones who trod the paths before us long ago

And with whom we are as one

Oh the passion as we entered that place

And as the candle’s flame led us further on

The hungry shades that prey within these

Hunting grounds

Would not dare defy our cause

We were not alone

On that night the cross showed the line of our

Family divine

We were not alone

On that night of kinship and are in the circle

By the pine

As our voices burned with love and with joy

The signs then granted us were all so clear

We walked with them in circles

Unbound by time

To receive their wondrous light
