[Verse] Velvet halls and candle gleam, Masks that whisper, shadows dream, And in the crowd she sees alone, No living soul, just bones and stone, Zombies, vampires, demons stare, Yet in her chest, no hint of fear. [Bridge] Every eye a ghostly flame, Calling softly out her name. [Verse] Silken steps on marble cold, Silver voices, dark and old, Music swells — a sweet command, A pale hand reaches for her hand. Crimson lips and velvet breath, Whisper tales of love and death, Round they spin, the world’s asleep, Time dissolves in shadows deep. [Pre-Chorus] The bells begin to chime, He whispers, “You’re mine…” [Chorus] Dance with me, till the midnight toll, Lose yourself, surrender your soul, In this waltz, you’ll never grow old — Stay, my dear, till the night takes hold. [Verse] Every note a promise made, Every touch — the light will fade, Yet she smiles, entranced, unaware, The clock is singing her final prayer. Pre-Chorus He smiles — with eyes like wine, She feels the world unwind… [Chorus] Dance with me, till the midnight toll, Lose yourself, surrender your soul, In this waltz, you’ll never grow old — Stay, my dear, till the night takes hold. [Bridge] Twelve strikes echo, slow and clear, Her heartbeat fades — yet she feels no fear, In his arms, eternity spins, The waltz begins again… [Final Chorus / Outro] Dance with me, till forevermore, The living lost, the dead adore, In this hall where the candles glow, She’ll dance — and never know.
