about

This fun song examines the perils of living with your spiritual life "undercover". And I've found most Pagans have (unfortunately) had to do this to some degree due to work situations or intolerant family members and such. Maybe you can relate to sometimes having to be a "secret agent" Pagan. If so, I hope you will enjoy this song parody, which is presented with the hope that one day we can all find safe places to be open and honest about the spiritual paths we follow.

lyrics

"Secret Pagan Man"
words by Cernowain Greenman © 2011

1. Oh, cover up that pentacle you're wearing
Your Jesus-lovin' boss is so over-bearing
Be careful what you say
Don't give yourself away
Odds are you won't have a job tomorrow

Ch: Secret Pagan Man
Secret Pagan Man
They've given you a Goddess
and a brand new Pagan name

2. Beware of pretty Christians that you find
A pretty face don’t mean an open mind
Don’t let the wrong word slip
When kissing those Christian lips
Don’t you dare yell out, “Oh, Aphrodite! Whoah!”

[Chorus] [Electric guitar solo] [Chorus]

3. You wear a suit and tie to work on Monday
and wearing hardly anything on Beltane!
If you come out at Pagan Pride
your folks will tan your hide
You’ll be in the Summerland tomorrow [Chorus]

Ch: Secret Pagan Man
Secret Pagan Man
They've given you a Goddess
and a brand new Pagan name
They’ve given you a chalice
and a brand new athamé
This secret life you live
is a foolish game
Secret Pagan Man!
