Loreena Mckennit All Souls Night Lyrics

All Souls Night Lyrics

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 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. 

 

 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.
