The Wisdom of the Ancients

The drums beat, The rattles call, The flames of fire grow tall. Tis wisdom of the ancients We do call. The Dance and Sacred Song Grow to a fevered pitch. Flames lick the night sky, Hauntingly painted faces go by, Sweat rolls down upon the desert ground. Mystical answers are sought From the stars which fill The vastness of the dark sky. What shall our path be Oh, Spirit Guide? To live in a world Which only wishes us to die? Our ways shall come back-- A terrible vengeance Upon you shall be laid. For now we wait, Our Spirits in dormancy lie Till the Ancient ones awaken And hearken to our CRY!
