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
