DANCING, BUT NOT IN DARKNESS!
I dance the eternal dance
It is of life, it is of death
I live in the darkness
I live in the light
I dance the eternal dance
Day and night
With my cloak of feathers
Around my shoulders
Resting upon my back
I am the Horned One
Through time I have come
Through all time I have been
I dance to the old song
But with a brand new beat
I clap my hands
I dance with my drum
Cloven hooves as nimble as ever
I will continue on
Even if no one listens to my call
The pipes are still clear
They call one, they call all
Through the stones I go
Other shapes follow me
We shall dance on
To the next realm
On and on into the night
Danu is on her way
She will shine down upon us all
Shortest day, longest night
I sing the old songs
With all my might
Never will I let go, my cape of feathers
Flowing as I go
She is here, it is her
She casts such a silvery light
No longer darkness, it is half light
I bow to her, she is my love
She is my Soul
She goes with me
Wherever I may go
The song sings of deeds
Of so long ago
Not many see us now
Let us hope that is
Not always so
On for evermore
It is time to walk through
That Big Old Oak Door
To be free in the land
That is a complete other reality
Where all creatures run free
One day we shall be back
When that need be!
