Faun's "Hymn to Pan"

I enjoy listening to the German folk music band called 'Faun.'  Their acoustic music emphasizes many pagan themes.  

Eden by Faun, 2011  Includes more songs in English than their other albums.   



 










Renaissance by Faun, 2005

by Faun.  


Here is one selection from the Eden album called 'Hymn to Pan.'

"Listen now, Great Pan he calls us
From the green wood in his grove
'neath the waxing moon above us
Hear his clear flute sweet and low
Hear his clear flute sweet and low
Follow in the dance he's leading
Circle 'round the fire's glow
Come and drink the wine he pours us
From the tangled vines that grow
From the tangled vines that grow...

Listen now and I shall follow
Listen now and I may follow...
Out of the mid-wood's twilight
Into the meadow's dawn
Ivory limbed and brown eyed
Flashes the Faun
He skips through the copses singing
And his shadow dances along
And I know not which I should follow
Shadow or Song...
O Hunter, snare me his shadow
O Nightingale, catch me his strain
Else moonstruck with music and madness
I track him in vain
And I know not which I should follow
Shadow or Song
And I know not which I should follow
Shadow or Song ..."
Hymn to Pan by Faun, from the 2011 album Eden
