Dance in black

 

Listen, sweet children – can you smell the city bleed?

Can you feel the tendons snap, one by one?

Pain sneaks up like a lover, my sweet – then it bites like a demon.

The rage builds up – kiss one long goodbye to the sun.

 

Ever wanted to see destiny dance, the way you do?

Waiting with held breath, while the stars scream and fall.

It’s what we do, sweet children. We dream in fire.

Casting aside all hope and prayers. Ignoring the call.

 

Scream for the end of the world

Dance in black till you die

Scream for the end of the world

While all around you lie, lie, lie …

 

Liquid evil in the veins, the greatest high of them all

Linger sweet children, the show ain’t over just yet.

Cast your hopes across to the other side

When they want you to end, death’s all you’ll ever get.

 

And the city bleeds, the blood climbs to your eyes.

Souls cast to the black winds, cut with jagged knives.

Ghosts dance across your eyes, sweet children

I used to wear illusions, when dreaming other lives.

 

Scream for the end of the world

Dance in black till you die

Scream for the end of the world

While all around you lie, lie, lie …

 

Eat the stars, and leave the rest black.

Tear truth apart until it veils the heart of time.

Wander lost, sweet children, crying to sleep

Not wanting to see the ultimate crime.

 

Shattered dreams even the morning can’t mend

What hope for the dreamer in the rain?

Love stings, and blisters in your eyes’ fire

And here is where bleeding souls have lain.

 

Scream for the end of the world

Dance in black till you die

Scream for the end of the world

While all around you lie, lie, lie …

 

Memories eaten by those who hunger still

Snuffing out the light of lives lived before

Wanderers left drifting along the road

While the empty souls softly close the door.

 

Scream for the end of the world

Dance in black till you die

Scream for the end of the world

While all around you lie, lie, lie …

 

Scream for the end of the world

While all around you lie, lie, lie

 

Scream for the end of the world

While all around you lie, lie, lie.
