Soaring eagle on the wing
From your lair your visions bring
Lift our voices as we sing
Enter us powers of the east

Mighty lion of the sun
Turn my heart and will as one
Flaming strength and passion
Enter us powers of the south

Ancient serpent of the deep
In your waters let us weep
Wave your mysteries here to sleep
Enter us powers of the west

Dark bull of the mother earth
Winter cave that gives us birth
Heed our knowledge of your worth
Enter us powers of the north

Air I am
Fire I am
Water, Earth and Spirit I am!
