Loreena McKennitt - All Souls Night Lyrics






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 of bonfires
Dancing till 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 Souls Night

Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows
Held up tall as the flames leap high
The green knight holds the holly bush
To mark where 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 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 goes 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 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 Souls Night

    Swirling within enchanted air, distant guides from beyond. Lead expected travelers, to an unearthly affair. Shadows tarry in melodious song. Of fragrant winds they carry long. Upon haunted dell whereas is no light, their living souls have fallen far from sight. To darken glenn where phantoms enjoy the deepest night. As spectors sing, each and every verse do they cling. Merrily for the dance unrested spirits glean. For together all apparitions might seem, thoughts conjured from a Hellish dream. Before dawn awakes, to banish the unnatural scene. Even wraiths find their place, letting loose an unsettling scream. Then will slumber take hold, ghost lastly consoled. Once again returning to death's eternal obode.

    I was Wiccan from 13 to 21.

    I am now Catholic but from time to time I listen to the enchanting music and get an urge to work the craft again but I can't.

    Let's just say I didn't like who I was becoming...I had alot of turmoil and a friends mom who is a high priestess told me to not delve into any magik until I am of perfect love and perfect trust.

    I opened doors I didn't want opened.

    Why turn to Catholicism?

    It did more to even out what turmoil I held in me.

    I just know I was a royal prick when I was Wiccan. At first things were great but my temper and hatred came returned and things weren't going right.

    My friends mom closed what doors I opened and told me to never work the craft again.

    She was nice and a big help.

    I maybe Christian now but I don't look down on anyone.

    I don't care what you believe so long as you don't become a radical psychopath.

    Plus...the Knights Templar were pretty badass not gonna lie haha.

    Not that the Vikings werent Ethier...

  43. A.... L....
