The Dark Spell of Night
Tonight, I took you dancing, In the ruins at twilight.
We danced in a circle, all through the night.
Whispering specters came within view, as they saw the light, that was cast by the moon.
We’re dancing in the courtyard, with the moon lighting the way.
Along with the spirits, who slept through the day.
You have taken me, my heart and my soul.
With the power of your spirit, it has taken control.
We’ll dance with the fairies, under the pale moonlight.
We’ll dance here forever, under the dark spell of night.
