Details

Description

[Verse]
Eileithyia brings new light
Goddess of birth night's guide
Divine child from ancient lore
In Theogony she opens doors

[Verse 2]
Zeus's daughter Leto's pride
Found in myths where gods abide
Mortal cries she hears them too
Life begins her blessing true

[Chorus]
Eileithyia in the dark
Every birth leaves her mark
Banjo plays our joyful tune
Life anew under the moon

[Verse 3]
Hera's favor in her hand
Childbirth paths at her command
Pain and joy she does entwine
For each soul a sacred sign

[Bridge]
Through the ages tales persist
Eileithyia's gentle mist
Every birth a sacred dawn
Ancient wisdom carries on

[Verse 4]
From Olympus down she flies
Healer of the mother's cries
Shepherd of the newborn's coo
Rhythms ancient yet so true
