After listening and playing this song for more than forty years I am more convinced than ever that majority of the lyrics pertain to a Druidic ritual involving human sacrifice. \n"We wait in stone circles" refers to the "fairy rings" that are found all throughout England, Scotland and parts of Western Europe.\n"Lines join faint discord..." possibly refers to Leylines, reputed to hold magical and mystical powers.\n"Oh, I\'ll take you quickly" is meant as a reassurance that the person being sacrificed won\'t suffer.
