Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shall I see tonight, sister
Bathed in magic grease
Shall we meet on the hilltop
Where the two roads meet?
[Verse 2]
We will form the circle
Hold our hands and chant
Let the great one know
What it is we want
[Verse 3]
Danger is great joy
Dark is bright as fire
Happy is our family
Lonely is our waltz
[Verse 4]
Sister, we are waiting
On the rock and chain
Fly fast through the airwaves
Meet with pride and truth
[Verse 5]
Danger is great joy
Dark is bright as fire
Happy is our family
Lonely is our wall
[Verse 6]
Father, we are waiting
For you to appear
Do you feel the panic?
Can you see the fear?
[Verse 7]
Mother, we are waiting
For you to give consent
If there's to be a marriage
Then leave contempt
[Verse 8]
Danger is great joy
Dark is bright as fire
Happy is our family
Lonely is our wall
[Verse 9]
Remember, death is far away
And life is sweet
