Awake foul moon to shed your light for the dead shall dance tonight hide 'neath covers, shake in fright for the dead shall dance tonight. Specters, zombies heed the call hobgoblins, ghouls welcome all shake the rafters bear the pall as the dead dance through the mall Arise o dead set grave-clothes bye take those pennies from your eye shriek and flitter, touch the sky as the dead, go dancing by. Caper dead, cavort and prance this is the night for dead to dance waking those who are in trance this is the night for dead to dance. On this one night the dead in pain will waltz and spiral, all in vain seeking out the higher plain the dead will dance, come down like rain. The dead will dance onto to the sea looking for new victory clapping hands, being set free and the dead will dance with me. Softly, softly comes the dawn and the dead have danced and gone, to the realm of great beyond echoing resonance, lingering on Left behind those worn out shells who danced with dead to bitter hells others dazed left by their spells to uphold life, in altered cells. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |
