A song of united worship sung by slaves of all different religions together as one.
lyrics
WE ARE BOUND
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander
Eastern sun, southern fire,
Western rain, northern star-
Circled within,
Kith unto kin,
WE ARE BOUND-
Walk we now through this glade,
As our ancestors made-
Here lies revealed,
Our truths concealed,
WE ARE BOUND-
SEA AND STONE,
SALT AND LOAM,
HEARTH AND HOME,
IN US RESOUNDING-
Pressed are we to be slaves unto men,
Yet we be blessed beyond mortal ken,
To be freed and reborn once again-
WE ARE BOUND-
To your tasks, lay your hands,
Though we tread foreign lands-
Still we may part,
Heart unto heart,
WE ARE BOUND-
Severed still from the land we adored,
Of one will, of one law, of the Lord,
By the Cup, by the Cross, by the Sword-
WE ARE BOUND-

Alexander James Adams's Balance of Nature is a wonderful album. The songs are wonderful, musically and lyrically, and He of the Sidhe is an incredible example of it. Nearly all the songs are about transitions of some sort, or about moving forward, and they are all worth listening to.
Thanks for putting out such a wonderful album. Kamani
This is exactly the album that I need right now. Especially Warlock's Oath and Fang into Vein. Of course, the entire album is glorious spooky goodness. I'm in love. <3 Sai Chi
AJ Adams is quite phenomenal. I have followed his music since he became the Heir to the Heatherlands when Heather Alexander retired and returned to the Land of the Fae. Being true to one's self is difficult for many of us, but for those of us (like AJ Adams, and also myself) who are trans, being true to yourself is one of the hardest things we can do. This holiday album is as much a celebration of authenticity as it is of the Season. Delenn
Weyes Blood expands on this year's acclaimed album ”Titanic Rising” with a handful of alternate takes, recorded alongside Ariel Rechtshaid. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 23, 2019
Natalie Mering's latest is woozy, hallucinatory folk that swirls and swoons, working with shadow and light, hope and loss. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 10, 2016
