I danced at a Beltane with the pole standing tall,
The ribbons blowing round the dancers all,
I danced in the sunlight at the midsummer feast,
The day dawned pink in the summer's east.
Oh dance, dance wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he.
When the harvest arrived and the field shown gold,
The air was tinged with a touch of frosty cold,
I danced around the balefire late at night
And turned the wheel against all fright.
Oh dance, dance wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he.
As the world turned dark, I lighted a log.
With Yule burning bright and piercing the fog,
I lay with my lady in the dark of the year,
And I'll be reborn when the spring draws near.
Oh dance, dance wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he.
Let's dance now!
Oh dance, dance wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he.
