Céli Dé or Culdees were originally members of ascetic Christian monastic and eremitical communities of Ireland, Scotland and England in the Middle Ages. The term is used of St. John the Apostle, of a missioner from abroad recorded in the Annals of the Four Masters at the year 806, and of Óengus Céile Dé, the well-known monk and author of Tallaght. "Culdee" is an anglicisation of Céli Dé (plural of Céile Dé, lit. "client/companion of God"). Boece's term is culdei. In Scottish Latin sources they are often called Kelidei.
The etymology of the term, the persons designated by it, their origin, their doctrines, the rule or rules under which they lived and the limits of their authority and privileges have all been matters of controversy. All admit, however, that, in the beginning at all events, the Culdees were separated from the mass of the faithful, that their lives were devoted to religion and that they lived in community. Appearing first in Ireland and subsequently in Scotland, attached to cathedral or collegiate churches, they lived in monastic fashion though not taking monastic vows.

His horse is broken now
On his knees
Gray hair tumbled down
His gray hair tumbled down
Blow my body, blow

When the barbarians approach on the frontiers of a civilization,
It is a sign of a crisis in that civilization.
When the barbarians come, not with weapons of war, but
With songs and icons of peace.
It is a sign of the crisis in one of a spiritual nature.
That a spiritual nature.
We have forgotten our spiritual nature.
Cause we are wrapped up in too much shit all day, all night.

Funky white, ow
Hail the guitar, all tuned down
In a power circle, obey the crowd
All ride a wave, crash right in
Lovers and fighters, adrenaline
The singer spits, our hearts all rise
Energy is visible, we all crush tight
All washed away, tsunami wave
Fragile human, all the same
And now, I face the sound
When all around is burning
I'm like Hermes, drifting down
I am the saint, your path into the light
I am the knife that cuts right through your life
I have found the path immortalized
I am the saint, the path into the light
Caught in a trap, the systems are down
Communication's broken, I feel underground
Weight of the storm, in sound, we all drown
You'll never understand what drives us all on
And now, I face the sound
And all around is burning
I'm like Hermes, drifting down, down, down, down
I am the saint, your path, the way, the light
I am the knife that cuts right through your life
I have found the path immortalized
I am the saint, your path, the way, the light
I am the saint, your path into the light
I am the knife that cuts right through your life
I have found the path immortalized
I am the saint, your path, the way, the light

His badge shone brightly like a star in the sky
Drag me out to the waiting car
Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly

Hound dog on my trail
Wake up time for freedom
Before the night prevails

Well
You got a perfect way
Things that you play
Cut clearly
Like a knife to the bone
Mama's calling you
You'll never get back home
You'll never get back home
You'll never get back home
Cool operator with a rattlesnake kiss
Angelic poses that never miss
Reverberation shuffle to the bone
Shake the world to the ground
Memphis hip swing to the guitar sound
All the time all the time
Baby get it while it's good
All around the world
Sure do need guitar
Shake the world to the ground
Memphis hip swing to the guitar sound
You gotta perfect way all the things that you play
Cut clearly like a knife to the bone
Mama's callin' you
You'll never get back home
Shake the world to the ground
Memphis hip swing to the guitar sound
When I look in your eyes
I see a burning star
I see a heart that's wild
I see a place I can't define
Your mind is sharp
You don't miss a beat
You see right through people
Who can't see into you
Is life just a trip from ... the maternity ward to the creamatory
Is life just a trip from ... the maternity ward to the creamatory
Your slight smile
Holds me wrapped for a while
And they can't pull me down
Pull us down
Pull us down
Soul of flesh
Burn bright in your hair
Yeah people get scared
They don't understand
Hw beautiful you are
Mistakes... money... sex... yourself... power... these are all false gods
Metaphysical pistol with a gut full of hate
Metaphysical pistol with a heart full of light
Metaphysical pistol with a gut full of hate
Metaphysical pistol with a heart full of light
Soul of flesh

Metaphysical pistol with a heart full of light
Metaphysical pistol metaphysical pistol
Metaphysical pistol with a heart full of light

We are sitting smack in the middle... of the beatific vision
Heart full of light - money
