Lord
of the Dance
(Pagan version *g*)
When She
danced on the water and the wind was Her horn
The Lady
danced and a universe was born
And when
She lit the sun and the light gave Him birth
The Lord
of the Dance first appeared on the Earth
Dance,
dance, wherever you may be
I
am the Lord of the Dance, said He
I'll
live in you if you'll live in Me
And
I'll lead you all in the dance, said He
Dance,
dance, like earcht and sky and sea
dance
like the flames that in truth are we
and when
we´re tired of dancing up the world and its charms
we will
rest from the dance in our dark mother´s arms
I dance in
the circle and the flames leap on high
I dance
in the fire and I never, never die
I dance
on the waves of the bright summer sea
For I am
the Lord of the waves' mystery
I sleep in
the kernel and I laugh at the rain
I dance
in the wind and through the waving grain
When you
cut me down, I care nothing for the pain
In the spring,
I'm the Lord of the Dance once again
I dance at
the Sabbat when you dance at the spell
I dance
and sing that everyone be well
When the
dancing's over, do not think that I am gone
To live
is to dance so I dance on and on
The Lord
and the Lady cast a song across the plain
The birds
took the notes and sang them back again
'Til the
sound of Her music was the song of the sky
And to that
song, there is one reply
They danced
in the darkness and They danced in the night
They danced
on the Earth and everything was light
They danced
in the darkness and They danced in the dawn
And the
day of the dancing still goes on
I gaze on
the Heavens and I gaze on the Earth
And I feel
the pain of dying and rebirth
And I lift
my head in gladness and in praise of the day
For the
Dance of the Lord and the Lady gay
I see the
maidens laughing as they dance in the sun
And we count
the fruits of the harvest one by one
We know
the storm is coming, but the grain is all stored
So we sing
to the praise of the Lady and the Lord
We dance
even slower as the leaves fall and spin
And the
sound of Her horn is the wailing of the wind
The call
of the Hunter as He rides across the plain
While the
Lady sleeps 'til the spring comes again
The Sun is
in the southlands and the winds they will chill
And the
sound of Her horn is fading on the hill
The herd
stands in the stillness as we move in a trance
But we hold
on fast to our faith in the Dance
The Sun's
in the southlands and the days lengthen fast
And soon
we will sing of the winter that is past
But now
light the candles and rejoice as they burn
We dance
the Dance of the Sun's return
The snow
is slowly melting and the clouds bring the rain
The Lady
wakes, for the spring has come again
We dance
in the meadows and we dance in the groves
And rejoice
in the Lord's and the Lady's love
She dance
on the void till she danced on the sea,
with the
wid, her son, danced all will ever be.
And when
the things she´s dancing has already been,
she will
dance it back to the void again
He danced
on the mountains and he dance in the wood
and with
the hoff and horn danced every creature good
He dances
in red leaves and in golden grain
then he
dances back into earth again
We dance
in a circle in a wood in a glad
and give
praise and thanks for everything they made
we´ve
danced a thousand years here and for thousands before
and we´ll
dancendancendance here for thousands more
Though you
dance in a tumult yet you dance each alone,
and your
feet raise echoes in a world of stone
But when
the concrete´s split by the flow´ring tree,
we will
dance the world bach to sanity
