In the sacred wood that night
The old Indian had kept his word
He would play for me
Dancing for the world
Dancing for the Spirits
-Old Indian thank you
for doing this for mee
-It's fine moondancer
I enjoy playing for thee
-Dance in the moon
dance not for mee
-Let be the Spirits
enter inside thee
DUM TAK TAK DUM
DUM TAK TAK DUM
Step right
Shoulder Shimmy - freeze
Step left
Shoulder Shimmy - freeze
The intricated black henna
Was my cloth
The rays of the moon
my silver mantel
DUM TAK TAK DUM
DUM TAK TAK DUM
Circle left
Circle right
And a Spirit came
-Don't be afraid little dancer
I am the soul of the old tree
I would not disturb you
I'll sit here and see
DUM TAK TAK DUM
DUM TAK TAK DUM
Eight right
Eight left
And that curly blonde lady
Opens her lips
-I was the Queen of Dreams
I like your dancing
What dream can I give?
-Let me dream my mother
when she was young
let me see like she was
when she had not gone
DUM TAK TAK DUM
DUM TAK TAK DUM
-Lady the night is long
you can't dance for the tree
lay down a moment
and rest now with me
This looked like Bacchus
Who appreciated wine
Who liked the nymphs
And all he could find
-God of the wine
I was dancing alone
What u doin here
You know I'm none
DUM TAK TAK DUM
DUM TAK TAK DUM
Hip forward Hip right
Hip backward
Hip forward Hip left
Hip backward
-I was the Lord of the Sea
What can I offer thee?
-Lord of the Seas
promise me this
when I will die
you then embrace me
you let me float
dance in your waves
bring me from Baalbek
to hurted places
bring me to Irem
the city of white columns
you let me breathe
your salty atmosphere
you don't abandon me
DUM TAK TAK DUM
DUM TAK TAK DUM
-Hello I am Nexuss
said the Centaurus
I took Deianira
And I will possess you
-Stay away from me
poisoned-blood beast
I dance for the Stars
Just can't you see?
DUM TAK TAK DUM
DUM TAK TAK DUM
Camel down
Camel up
Camel down
Camel up
-I am the Messenger
Said the young man
I've wings at my ankles
As you have your bells
Oh God of the News
Lend me your wings
Let me be a messenger
for the friend I've not seen
Let me be a sentiment
For those who have not been
DUM TAK TAK DUM
DUM TAK TAK DUM
What is your name
little dancer of mine
My name is Nest-of-Bird
Lord of the fire
My name is Distant-Drums
Lady of the night
