DANCE IN THE CIRCLE
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander
Out in the wood, there’s a band of small Faeries,
If you walk unwary at night-
They’re laughing and drinking, and soon you’ll be thinking,
That you’d come to join in their light-
If they see you, you know they’ll entreat you,
To come and join in their small friendly dance-
If you do then your soul will go too,
You will loose it with no second chance-
BUT PLEASE COME, JOIN, DANCE IN THE CIRCLE
THE VOICES WILL MAKE YOUR HEART BURN
TO PLEASE COME, JOIN, DANCE IN THE CIRCLE
BUT KNOW THAT YOU'LL NEVER RETURN!
They’ll promise you gold and silver a-plenty,
You’ll never be empty of love-
Beauty and pleasure, and time at your leisure,
All things that you’ve been dreaming of-
Success will be yours, through several doors,
What ever you wish, you will find you can do-
Beware of this prize, as a curse in disguise,
Since your mortal life soon will be through-
There is a way, as some folk would say,
To save you ‘til the dawn-
Denounce their kind, from your mind,
Then you’ll find they are gone-
Children’s tales, pirate sails,
Unicorns, dragons, sorcerers too,
They’re man conceived, make believe,
You know that they aren’t true-
And now I must tell, that I’m under their spell,
Though I know not for how long I’ve been-
And I love a man, though I know that I can
Never ever go see him again-
I went to the king, in his wise faerie-ring,
I asked him, “Oh what do you think I should do?”
He said, “You’ll be fine!”, took a large swill of wine,
And said, “Why don’cha have him join you?”

Alexander James Adams's Balance of Nature is a wonderful album. The songs are wonderful, musically and lyrically, and He of the Sidhe is an incredible example of it. Nearly all the songs are about transitions of some sort, or about moving forward, and they are all worth listening to.
Thanks for putting out such a wonderful album. Kamani

Alexander James Adams is one of my all time favorite musicians; his music has seen me through both dark times and fair. His musicianship is excellent, a master Bard, songwriter, and fiddler.
Cannot recommend his work enough; his music is exceptional! gaycelt

This is exactly the album that I need right now. Especially Warlock's Oath and Fang into Vein. Of course, the entire album is glorious spooky goodness. I'm in love. <3 Sai Chi

Natalie Mering's latest is woozy, hallucinatory folk that swirls and swoons, working with shadow and light, hope and loss. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 10, 2016

AJ Adams is quite phenomenal. I have followed his music since he became the Heir to the Heatherlands when Heather Alexander retired and returned to the Land of the Fae. Being true to one's self is difficult for many of us, but for those of us (like AJ Adams, and also myself) who are trans, being true to yourself is one of the hardest things we can do. This holiday album is as much a celebration of authenticity as it is of the Season. Delenn
