Chant

Chant

As we move in circular orbit around a roaring fire

Embers glow a petulant orange

Chant Chant

Display semi naked torsos painted in the colors of the universe

Only seen with the minds eye

Chant Chant Chant

Awake ancestors from celestial slumber

Remember your forefathers story

Human tambourines rattle and shake to invisible rhythms

Chant Chant Chant Chant

Masks mimic the Gods of the natural world

Sun

Water 

Soil

Grow life from the ground

Chant 

Your body an altar made of complex melododies 

Embedded in dark skinned DNA

Invoke ancient prayers from the drum

We are the people of the fire....
