V1: If you survive the night of madness...
If you survive it's crazy spin...
Then you shall dance around the pole,
Take what's tattered make it whole,
And the pattern of the world you weave
Before you will unfold.
 
Chorus (x4) Bringing in the May
 
 
V2: And now the quarters we must cross
Between the equal and extreme.
We know the Morris dance is done
So that all can feel the Sun
As it penetrates our flesh and blood
And Spirit made as one
 
Chorus
 
V3: A living Circle cast in Love
with friends and strangers as one Voice.
A bond that's stronger far than steel.
We project an Ancient Will
Sending power all around the world:
Protect, Renew and Heal!
 
Chorus
 
 
The chant... attributed to various folks... I'm still not clear who... Anodea Judith began chanting it during one Beltane festival campfire and it stuck :)
 
..goes like this:
Cauldron of Changes
Blossom of Bone
Arc of Eternity
Hole in the Stone
