	Story Behind the Song This is one of our all time Yule favourites. Enjoy! Lyrics Chorus: Dance, dance, wherever you may be "I am the Lord of the Dance," said He "I will live in you if you live in me And I will lead you all in the Dance," said He Verses: I dance in the circle when the flames leap up high. I dance in the fire and I never ever die. I dance in the waves of the bright summer sea For I am the Lord of the waves' mystery. I sleep in the kernel and I dance in the rain. I dance in the wind and in the waving grain And when you cut me down I care nothing for the pain. In the spring I'm the Lord of the Dance once again. I dance on the Sabbat when you dance out the spell I dance and sing that everyone be well And when the dancing's over do not think that I am gone To live is to dance so I dance on and on. When She danced on the water and the wind was her horn The Lady laughed and everything was born. When She lit up the sun and the light gave Him birth The Lord of the Dance first appeared on Earth. The horn of the Lady cast its song 'cross the plain The birds took the notes and gave them back again 'Til the sound of Her music was a song in the sky And to that song there is one reply. They danced in the darkness and They dance in the night They dance on the Earth and everything was light They dance out the darkness and they danced in the dawn And the day of that dancing still goes on. The moon in Her phases and the tides of the sea The movement of the Earth and the seasons that will be Are the rythym of the dancing and a promise though the years That the dance goes on through our joy and tears I gaze on the heavens and I gaze on the Earth And I feel the pain of dying and rebirth I lift my head in gladness and in praise for the day of the dance of the Lord and the Lady gay.
