All Souls Night Lyrics - The Visit - Loreena Mckennitt

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.
