HIS DANCE
Lord of the Dance/Om Namah Shivaya
In the mists of creation with the world wrapped in night
I first appeared as a lingam made of light
They sought my beginnings in the sky or the earth
But I am eternal with no source or birth
CHORUS:
Dance, dance, wherever you may be
For I am the Shri Nataraj, said he
I live in you, and you do live in me,
And I lead you all in the dance, said he
To distract me from tapas Kama-deva did try
But I burned him up with my fiery third eye
Then Parvati joined me in a deep yogic trance
And my heart started beating to the Goddess's dance
CHORUS
Well, I danced for the Rishis, but they would not see
Sent tiger, dwarf and serpents after me.
With snakes for my ornaments and tiger-skin skirt
I leaped on Lord Avidya and danced him to dirt
CHORUS
There's no dance too enormous, there's no dance that's too small
Search in every place -- I'm dancing in them all!
I dance to the pulsebeat bringing warmth to your face
And I spin with the planets as they dance through space
CHORUS
Om namah shivaya [seven times]
Jai Nataraj!
