Dance In the Circle

Out in the wood, there? s a band of small Faeries,
if you walk unwary at night-
They? re laughing and drinking, and soon you? ll be thinking,
that you? d come to join in their light-
If they see you, you know they? ll entreat you,
to come and join in their small friendly dance-
If you do then your soul will go too,
you will loose it with no second chance-
So please come, join, dance in the circle,
The voices will make your heart yearn-
To please come, join, dance in the circle,
But know that you? ll never return-
They? ll promise you gold and silver a-plenty,
you? ll never be empty of love-
Beauty and pleasure, and time at your leisure,
all things that you? ve been dreaming of-
Success will be yours, through several doors,
what ever you wish, you will find you can do-
Beware of this prize, as a curse in disguise,
since your mortal life soon will be through-
(bridge)
There is a way, as some folk would say,
to save you? til the dawn-
Denounce their kind, from your mind,
then you? ll find they are gone-
Children? s tales, pirate sails,
unicorns, dragons, sorcerers too,
They? re man conceived, make believe,
you know that they aren? t true-
And now I must tell, that I? m under their spell,
though I know not for how long I? ve been-
And I love a man, though I know that I can
never ever go see him again-
I went to the king, in his wise faerie-ring,
I asked him, «Oh what do you think I should do?»
He said, «You?ll be fine!», took a large swill of wine,
and said, «Why don? cha have him join you?»
