Myth's Notes:

This is a beautiful modern song of Aradia which a friend shared with me a couple of years ago. I am delighted to have permission to put the lyrics on my website dedicated to Aradia.

Song Meanings from http://www.lyricsmode.com/--
"Aradia is a Goddess, daughter of the Moon and Sun. The Moon is the Italian 'Diana,' known to the ancient Romans as the 'Goddess of the Moon.' The Sun is 'Lucifer,' known to the ancient Romans as 'Apollo,' and also known as 'Lucetius,' 'Luciferio,' or 'Lucibello.' As in many cosmologies, the Moon and Sun are sister and brother, as well as being married. Hense the song lyrics state Diana bore "Aradia, daughter of incest," by her brother the Sun. As befits a Goddess of the Moon, Diana was the patroness of magic and witches. Folklore states after she gave birth to Aradia, Diana sent her daughter to earth to teach the art of magic to the oppressed women and men that they might improve their lot against the powerful lords. Charles G. Leland wrote about Aradia in Aradia or the Gospel of Witches in 1899. For more information about Aradia, do a web search for 'AradiaGoddess.' --M. Woodling"

The Italian words in this song roughly translate as:

Stregoni, stregoni sulla terra
Witches, witches on the land

Lucifer, Diana, strega Aradia
Lucifer, Diana, witch Aradia

La Vecchia Religione
The Old Religion

Stregoni, stregoni sulla terra
Witches, witches over earth

Bella strega Aradia
Beautiful witch Aradia.

The album Wild has several interesting songs. "Lord of the Flame" is my second favorite on the album.
