Loreena McKennitt - All Souls Night

Tonight I am sharing a song that speaks to me in so many ways, in such deep levels, that takes me to a different place and time, and that wakes up my Pagan side. It makes me happy, makes me feel like dancing under the Moon, fills me with energy.
This song makes me feel at peace.

Loreena McKennitt - All Souls Night

Bonfires dot the rolling hills

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

And 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 

And 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.
