Reposting this after the first try seemed to go astray.

The following piece of vile Lunar propaganda was inspired by Nick Brooke's anti-war piece so blame him.

Be gentle with it: the scansion needs help in a few places.

Once a jolly scholar,
Twirling his moustchios,
Laid aside his scrolls
And he said "Let's see.

I've a most cunning plan
To redesign the Universe
Who'll join the Dance of the Goddess with me?"

Dance of the Goddess,
Dance of the Goddess,
Who'll join the Dance of the Goddess with me?

And he sang as he went and roamed around Torang town

Who'll join the Dance of the Goddess with me?

Then a noble gentlemen
Warrior of great reknown
A Slaughterer, A General,
A Hoomakti !

Heard the cunning scholar
Recognized the Truth in him
Joined in the chorus immediately

CHORUS: And they sang as they went and roamed around Torang town...

Then a lowly villain
Weeping for a wasted life
Scarred by the world
And horrid to see

Cried: For my soul
And a chance at some redemption
I'll join the dance to try to break free!

CHORUS Then a high-born lady
Gazing from her lofty tower
Weaving a web
That few men can see

Leapt from her high place
Tumbling down a spider's web
To weave for them a deity

CHORUS Out from the shadows
Then there came a horrid hag
As Ugly a creature as ever could be

"By Hell and by Madness
I'm the one to show this Dance
The path of magical conspiracy!"

CHORUS Then came the one
We do not know
And may not name
Some say it was just folks like you or like me

She Who Waits
Waits Still
That's all I know or need to know
About this part of the ceremony

CHORUS At last a pretty maiden
Red of hair and fair of face
Swept up by the Dance
Up to Godhood was she

And so may we all
If we dance our parts
With Light and Grace

Who'll Join the Dance of the Goddess with me?

Dance of the Goddess,
Dance of the Goddess,
Who'll join the Dance of the Goddess with me?

And the Dance leads up: to the stars and far beyond:

Who'll join the Dance of the Goddess with me?
