Dance

Revel at the gates amidst a surging tide of fear
As faces slowly fall into a frozen lake of tears
Drowning in a cup of bitter moonshine for the mind
That's lost within the swirling evening patterns of the sky

Alone beneath the whispers from the crowd
Haunted by an image in the clouds
Music softly plays to occupy the broken heart
As eyes betray the present locked in struggle with the past

Dance, dance, dance beyond the dying of the light
Dance, dance, dance until the world is out of sight

Sink beneath the slur of moderation for the brave
The ghost of Epicurus slowly turning in his grave
Powder lines the pockets of a people that parade
An image growing fainter in the sullen evening shades

Alone beneath the whispers from the crowd
Haunted by an image in the clouds
Music softly plays to occupy the broken heart
As eyes betray the present locked in struggle with the past

Dance, dance, dance beyond the dying of the light
Dance, dance, dance until the world is out of sight

Won't you take me down to the river where you weep
To the river where you sleep and rest those weary bones

Won't you take me down to the river where you weep
To the river where you sleep and rest those weary bones

All by myself as the walls they fade to dust
I need you now, need a tender human touch
The screams and shouts well they're getting all too much
Please take me out before my mind it turns to rust

Dance, dance, dance beyond the dying of the light
Dance, dance, dance until the world is out of sight
Until the world is out of sight
