[Intro] [Soft, melancholic piano chords, a sigh in the air. Live performance in intimate setting.] [Verse 1] The world spins fast, a dizzying blur, my dear. You sip your drink, ignore the coming fear. The headlines scream of shadows drawing nigh. But in your gaze, I see no worried sigh. Just soft lamplight on your indifferent face. Lost in this moment, time and cosmic space. [Chorus] Oh, if your eyes would only see the truth unveiled. Beyond the glass, where all our futures failed. This cabaret, a stage for our last dance. While outside, chaos holds its steady trance. But darling, even now, my heart holds true. Though doom may call, I still stand here for you. [Verse 2] They say the sky is burning, red and deep. A serpent's promise, secrets the cosmos keep. The whispers warn of changes, dark and grand. Yet your hand rests so idly in my hand. A tempting kind of freedom, so profound. Ignoring cries from all the world around. [Piano plays brief instrumental version of the chorus melody] [Bridge] [Piano shifts to a more intense, yet still restrained, passage] Is it the fire, or the fading light? That keeps your vision clouded, day and night? The hidden self unfolding, through exquisite sounds. A truth unspoken, rising from these haunted grounds. This love, this end, entwined, a bitter play. Why can't you see it, as the stars decay? [Chorus] Oh, if your eyes would only see the truth unveiled. Beyond the glass, where all our futures failed. This cabaret, a stage for our last dance. While outside, chaos holds its steady trance. But darling, even now, my heart holds true. Though doom may call, I still stand here for you. [Outro] [Piano fades slowly, a single lingering chord] Heat. Heat.. If your eyes... would only see... [Final, distant piano note]
