The Wild Hunt: A modern Pagan Perspective.

8.14.2004
  Opening Ceremony

For those who missed it, here and here and here and here and here are photos of the 2004 Olympics opening ceremony in Greece.



Bjork singing "Oceania" at the opening ceremony

"Oceania"

One breath away from mother Ocean?a
Your nimble feet make prints in my sands
You have done good for yourselves
Since you left my wet embrace
And crawled ashore
Every boy, is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
You dance by my side
Children sublime
You show me continents
I see islands
You count the centuries
I blink my eyes
Hawks and sparrows race in my waters
Stingrays are floating
Across the sky
Little ones, my sons and my daughters
Your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why
Your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why

UPDATE: Even more about the song and her dress from Opacodex.com
Plus, picks from the official site.
