Besna

Our homes need such protection
as only the gods
may provide.

I call upon the Goddess
and hope Her answer
will aid me.

Protect our families and
our communities
and us, too.

Protect all my relations,
protect resistance,
the people.

Ancient Goddess, forgive my
ignorant speaking
of Your name.

We are few and oppressors
many, grant us Your
mighty strength.

Protect our homes and let us
return and steward
the homeland.
