    The Gathering  | 
  
We go - to the gathering
    We go - to the common feeling
    We go - anyway we can
    We go - to the basic man
We go - get back my senses
    We go - with a basic man
    We go - and a basic feeling
    We go - to the gathering
We go - to the gathering
    We all go to the gathering
  
Twilight open and you're on your own
    Noon is shining you want fun and games
    Hear the voices inside your head
    Let's play wild - volatile
Get out my way - we go - take back
    Those ways - you know
    Fun and games come out to play
    Fun and games for unknown days
Then you join your playmates in the street
    And the nightfires burning and you're on your feet
    All the boys and girls - look in their eye
    Domestication - lost overnight
    Games get bigger all the time
Games get bigger all the time
    Because the playpens falling - stakes are high
    And the child will conquer - step by step
    Let's play wild - volatile
Fun and games come out to play
    Fun and games
  
I heard the horn sound out the call
    Air began to shake
    Because it's hunting time again
    Senses start to wake
    So you get up on your feet
    And you gather into packs
    And then the packs become a horde
    Then we all begin to laugh
Take my hand now - let's go
    Find that place now - let's go
    Let's make haste now - let's go
    Because it's taking shape - new man come along
Instinct overtake
    Singing as we go
    War machine inside
    Push me further still
    So you get up on your feet
    And you gather into hordes
    Eliminate the obstacle
    Start to make your way
Then the clouds begin to move
    And my heart begins to pull
    Because the lady's taking hold again
    I saw her taking shape
    Where the old will always die
    When winter comes along
    And man shall fear the storm again
    All begin to move
New man come along - go
  
I found my way
    I walk towards the new day
    Left my conscience way behind
    Tumble-tumble here we go
I found my way
    I walk towards the new day
    Sun in my blood now
    Tumble-tumble here we go
Faster we go
    Leave it all behind
    Saw the cities come and go
    Tumble-tumble here we go
Faster we go
    Leave it all behind
    Saw the cities come and go
    Then i saw beyond
  
I am a child of folly
    Now i want my way
    And i don't know good or bad
    But i dance all day
    And my sense of humour
    Getting out of hand la-la
    And the diamond's sharp you know
    All the harlequins they go go
Such a lovely colour
    So the nasty taste won't show
    And when i'm seeing bitter
    Then the carnal feelings go
    So if you guess my next move
    Then that's more than me
    So when i start to smile
    Then the harlequins will go go
I am a child of folly
    Now i want some fun
    So i don't need good or bad
    And we've just begun
    Ao if you guess our next move
    Let your sense of humour show
    And the diamonds are forever
    All the harlequins will go go
  
Move on - light up the way
    Banner and festival where the wine and plenty flow
    We'll go - let's make our way
    Because the flame within our hearts telling us to move towards
    The feast of blaze la-la
Each day - move closer to
    Where the noise uplifts my soul, where the "wilful" man shall go
    Start here - let's make our way
    And the mess the fools have made won't stop us in our way
    The feast of blaze la-la
The feast of blaze la-la
Let's go - light up the way
    Banner and festival where the wine and plenty flow
    We'll go - until that day
    When the sun will shine again and then we'll all move towards
    The feast of blaze la-la
  
All time was left behind
    I made my way to the basic man assembly
    Music filled the air and voices sing
    Snd then the song became alive
Stick hit the skin - i hit the stick
    And we've all been keeping time
    And all the boys been playing the drums
    Let's make our way to song and dance - continue
    And then the song became alive - song and dance
I've seen a place - set in time
    And pillars tall in my sight
    Then i heard voices sing
    Sweet in the air [they fell through]
    Haunting you
    And then the song became alive - song and dance
Ways we've lost come flooding back now
    Then my ancestors awake
    (then i forgot myself)
    And in our joy they take their joy
    And in their skills we take our skills
    Then all the lines between are gone
    Then all the lines between are gone
Stick hit the skin - i hit the stick
    And we've all been keeping time
    So all you boys keep playing the drums
    Let's make our way to song and dance - continue
    And then the song became alive - song and dance
Song and dance - let's make our way
  
All the time you see us we'll be on our way
    Taking what is mine 'cos now i'll have my day
    Dominator soul he take what's in his way
    Dominator soul he take what's in his way
    Move in on them
All the time you see us we'll be on our way
    Passive ways to pull you down they pull you down
    Tear them up and smash them in we'll have our day
    Dominator soul he sing "i'll have my way"
    Move in on them
Move in on them
Dominator soul he'll take what's in his way
    And if they fall leave them behind 'cos that's his way
    And then we'll dance a dance - a dance they've never seen
    Dominator soul he'll take what's in his way
    Move in on them
On our way to the fire dances
    Let's all stay on our feet so
    In the market here we are then
    Sing a song for sixpence oh!
    Time keeps ticking - tick tick tock
    Can't stop now just keep on pushing
    I've got a feeling something's changing
    I'm gonna find this feeling somewhere
Let's all go to the fire dances
Take the future in your hands now
    Let's do this dance forever
    Teacher teach me something new please
    Sow the seed god speed the plough
    Basic ways to simplify me
    Sun is shining in your favour
    Push push me till i get there
    I'm gonna find the human somewhere
Turn the pages time goes backwards
    Pay the piper to play your tune
    You and me in a dance forever
    Summer nights and music - oh!
    Fill your cup and don't say maybe
    Sun is shining in our favour
    Let's be human - oh so human
    On your way to the fire dances
We (la-la-la hey!)
    Take lust almighty (la-la-la hey!)
    And the sex between your legs (la-la-la hey!)
    Twist in the dance now (la-la-la hey!)
