Latesummer cornfields, vermilion like fire,
Foreboding evil, the wolf’s in the rye.
Sanctus Antonius, spare us visitation!
Antonius fire
Antonius fire
Antonius fire – dance our life away,
Antonius fire
Antonius fire
Antonius fire – make us dance our life away!
The legend tells
That you may not eat
This black bread or else
Black turn your feet.
But they were so avaricious
And famine was too well known,
So the flour was palmed off up
On the poor who didn’t know a thing.
Antonius fire
Antonius fire
Antonius fire – dance our life away,
Antonius fire
Antonius fire
Antonius fire – make us dance our life away!
After the feast
In slumber they lay,
Whereas the beast
Started his play.
Some jumped up and all around
For days they jerked and shook their limbs,
Like manics they danced through the nights.
Their limbs turned black and in the end fell off.
Antonius fire
Antonius fire
Antonius fire – dance our life away,
Antonius fire
Antonius fire
Antonius fire – make us dance our life away!
Led by delusions
They went astray.
The other’s conclusion
Followed it’s way.
Fire burnt underneath their skin,
Like red ants crawling out and in,
Convulsions of evil origin
Made them join in St.Antonius dance.
Antonius fire
Antonius fire
Antonius fire – dance our life away,
Antonius fire
Antonius fire
Antonius fire – make us dance our life away!
