Story Behind The Song
Years ago, on a visit to Blacks Beach, I observed a midnight party and one particularly lovely lady. As she danced around the fire my imagination took over and the image never left me. The experience is captured in this song.

Lyrics
I watched you dancing by the fire on the shore
Possessed by demons or maybe something more
Your graceful hips and the shadows that they cast
Your bosom heaving with each breath as if your last
_
Ha La You are beauty not serenity
_
Ha La Your desire has entered me oh I said
_
Ha La You are nature in shape and form
_
Ha La From the blackness you were born
_
Ha La You are beauty bringing out the beast the beast in me
You beckon mankind from near and afar
You entrap them like an insect in a jar
Your dance is beckoning I can?t withdraw my gaze
I sense the changes the anger and the rage
_
Ha La You are beauty not serenity
_
Ha La Your desire has entered me oh I said
_
Ha La You are nature in shape and form
_
Ha La From the blackness you were born
_
Ha La You are beauty bringing out the beast the beast in me
Is this real or a dreamland fantasy
You took my soul it does not belong to me
You need not dance to entice me by the sea
A servant made to serve for all eternity
_
Ha La You are beauty not serenity
_
Ha La Your desire has entered me oh I said
_
Ha La You are nature in shape and form
_
Ha La From the blackness you were born
_
Ha La You are beauty not serenity
_
Ha La Your desire has entered me oh I said
_
Ha La You are nature in shape and form
_
Ha La From the blackness you were born
_
Ha La
