All Souls Night

Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound
Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and bonfires
Dancing 'til the next sunrise

I can see the lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing
Dancing a waltz on All, All Souls' Night

Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows
Held up tall as the flames leap high
The Green Knight holds a holly bush
To mark as the old year passes by

I can see the lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing
Dancing a waltz on All, All Souls' Night

Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound
Standing on the bridge that crosses
The river that flows out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the bridge and me

I can see the lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing
Dancing a waltz on All, All Souls' Night

I can see the lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing
Dancing a waltz on All, All Souls' Night

I can see the lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing
Dancing a waltz on All, All Souls' Night

I can see the lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing
Dancing a waltz on All, All Souls' Night
