THE DANCING DUST (VA) (ACT 3 SONG 9)

THE DANCING DUST (LA POUSSIÈRE QUI DANSE) [INTRO] [VERSE 1] The roar has died down, the factory’s behind It's just us remaining, in this light defined I never noticed, I never had the time This tiny ballet, a floating sublime. I let go of the controls, unplugged every wire To see this mad world, hanging by a fire. [CHORUS] Look at the dust as it dances Like gold in the silence, it glances It’s chaos finding its form Beneath a star, a promise born No need to run anymore to see The beauty rising from the dark. [INTERLUDE] [VERSE 2] I searched for empires, I wanted the peak But eternity shines, in places we’re too weak Between earth and air, weightless in the room Every atom breathes, dispelling the gloom. It is not mere ash, nor debris on the floor It’s the very stuff of dreams we ignored. [CHORUS] Look at the dust as it dances Like gold in the silence, it glances It’s chaos finding its form Beneath a star, a promise born No need to run anymore to see The beauty rising from the dark. [GUITAR SOLO] [VERSE 3] Everything in place, nothing’s truly lost Even passing time is worth every cost I’m no longer the slave counting every second I’m the witness now, where beauty has beckoned. A particle flies, catches the sun’s ray And suddenly the universe is on display. [CHORUS] Look at the dust as it dances Like gold in the silence, it glances It’s chaos finding its form Beneath a star, a promise born No need to run anymore to see The beauty rising from the dark. [BRIDGE] It spins... It shines... I am here. I am the alchemist... of my own sight. [VERSE 4] So let me sit down, just to gaze and stare At thousands of planets I ignored right there There is more richness in this ray of day Than in all the towers built in a loveless way. [CHORUS] Look at the dust as it dances Like gold in the silence, it glances It’s chaos finding its form Beneath a star, a promise born No need to run anymore to see The beauty rising from the dark. [OUTRO] The beauty... In the dark... (Fade out)
