Beltane Fires

In the sacred grove in the heart of the woods
My friend and I we didn’t have a care
He said “I’m pleased to meet you” and we fell about
Our laughter filled the air
I cried out “I’m cold” so he gave me a coat of green
My reflection in his eyes looking back at me made me scream

Let the Beltane fires burn
Let the Beltane fires burn
Let the Beltane fires burn
Let the Beltane fires burn

Enraptured by the green shoots that are bursting through the earth
Drunk with new beginnings and fresh starts
Captured by the journey of conception through to birth
Dancing to the rhythm of my heart
I don’t need to act it’s getting stronger by the day
Just uphold the pact and let nature have her way

Chorus

Take my hand and sit by the fire
The words will flow with ease
The sun is up, now the moon’s retired
It’s shining through the trees

Chorus

I was standing on the hill as the night fell away
The mist below me never seemed to end
At the crack of dawn on the break of day
I turned around and gazed upon my friend
He put me under a spell that was cast so long ago
In the deep, dark well where the healing waters flow

Chorus
