Through Awen – the creative energy sought by the bards and druids of old. A person who found it was known as an 'Awenydd', (pronounce the DD as 'th') and was believed to speak, play and create with supernatural authority. One of the ways Bards sought the Awen was through sensory deprivation, sitting in a darkened room, sometimes until dawn, waiting for inspiration to alight...

LYRICS

My door is open, dark descends My candle cold, my circle empty My lover calls, l must attend She holds no terror, only tempts me Let me wear her fame Let me share her breath Clothe me with her name The mantle of the Awenydd I will capture my thoughts and make them wraiths I will chain them like dogs and make them listen Then I will ride upon her waves For any one may bring a tale or vision Let me wear her fame 
Let me share her breath Clothe me with her name The mantle of the Awenydd ’Til the rain The rain is a stream ’Til the stream The stream is a flood Flowing wild and yet unseen Filling my cup For Awen, in truth, has many sons Pours amber on any who desire And though she speaks in many tongues My own is oil – it is fire Let me wear her fame Let me share her breath Clothe me with her name The mantle of the Awenydd Be worthy of her name The mantle of the Awenydd
