This Ancient Dance

This Ancient Dance is a spiral labyrinth where hips begin to sway
across the fires of femininity a dancer finds her way...

To a time when the drummers were women
and they would shake their hips and pound
trancing themselves in ecstatic states
until their bodies hit the ground

and they would burn inside a thousand fires
to know they are the Sun
and a thousand fires in a thousand bellies
would turn back into One

Dance yourself into a trance
burn inside your inner flame
and you, for this moment
shall never be the same

Your Self is a sun with a thousand fires in your core
come dance with us tonight
and we shall spark a thousand more!
