Story behind the song
EPONA The Celtic Goddess of horse
Lyrics
Want to climb to the saddle, and feel my body set free
Want to cover the hills and vales, ride white horses of the sea
Turning the head into the wind, riding till troubles gone
Tasting seeing all that’s there, working together as one
Carry me on Epona
Westward over the sea
Carry me on Epona
To the place I want to be
Slowly covering the rise and fall, sights so pure and new
Reins in tight, building up speed, a feeling that’s so true
Faster harder climbing the hill, on and on the peak to get
Muscle, sinew hearts as one, together covered in sweat
Cho.
Then together reaching the peak, working and riding in harmony
With the freedom of the wind, driving us on dancing in ecstasy
Take me on Epona my heart belongs to you
To know the power of Epona is all I want to do
