Killing Joke pulled just one single off Fire Dances in 1983, and "Let's All Go (To the Fire Dances)" was it, issued by E.G. Records on both seven-inch and 12-inch. The title reads like a summons to the bonfire, and the English post-punk band split the writing credit four ways between Jaz Coleman, Geordie Walker, Paul Raven and Paul Ferguson. They produced it themselves with John Porter as co-producer, and Nigel Mills engineered.

It got as high as number 51 on the UK Singles Chart, and it was the first Killing Joke single to come with a music video. Flip the seven-inch and you got "Dominator", another Fire Dances track; the 12-inch stretched that one into a longer alternative mix and threw in a live take of "The Fall of Because" for good measure.
