Echoes in the Ballroom

(1-2-3, 1-2-3) in the rafters and gold on the floor, shadows are knocking a tight at my door. I’m counting the steps of a ghost I once knew, washing away all the gray and the blue. Silence is heavy, it’s bold and it’s loud, I’m tracing the lightning in side of a cloud. Build it up, tear it down, watch it all burn, every disaster is something I’ve learned. Spinning in circles, I’m losing my grip, The cup is too full, so I’m taking a sip. Spin me 'round in the eye of the thunder (Hey!). We’re dancing on glass while the world goes under! (Hey!) One for the blood, two for the pain, Three for the lightning that’s calling my name! Oh, we’re breaking the cycle, the chain, In this beautiful, terrible, waltz in the rain! Digging up diamonds from under the stone, I’d rather be broken than stay here alone. Kings in the corner are playing their hand, but I’m building castles with nothing but sand. The music is rising, the floor starts to shake. How many heartbeats does victory take? Spin me 'round in the eye of the thunder (Hey!) We’re dancing on glass while the world goes under! (Hey!) One for the blood, two for the pain, three for the lightning that’s calling my name! Oh, we’re breaking the cycle, the chain, in this beautiful, terrible, waltz in the rain! (1-2-3, 1-2-3) Left, right, left, I’ve got nothing much left. But I’m breathing... I’m breathing... I’M ALIVE! Spin me 'round in the eye of the thunder! (Hey! Hey!) We’re dancing on glass while the world goes under! (Hey! Hey!) One for the blood, two for the pain, three for the lightning that’s calling my name! Oh, we’re breaking the cycle, the chain, in this beautiful, terrible, waltz in the rain! One... two... three... I’m... fi... nally... Free.
