Those who have died have never left
The dead are not under the earth
They are in the rusting threes
They are in the growing woods
They are in the crying grass
They are in the mourning rocks
The dead are not under the earth. (Chorus)
Chorus:
Listen more often to things than to beings
Listen more often to things than to beings
Tis the ancestor's breath
When the fire's voice is heard
Tis the ancestor's breath
In the voice of the waters.
Those who have died have never left
The dead have a pact with the living
They are in the woman's breast
They are in the wailing child
They are with us in the home
They are with us in the crowd
The dead have a pact with the living.

Following the Stonehenge free festival in June 1982, a" Peace
convoy" of over 100 vehicles made the decision to join the women as
a gesture of solidarity. The free festival proved to be a moveable
feast, establishing itself wherever its participants were - much to
the consternation of the authorities.
