Dark Invitation (Asuka Remix)

Cold on my cheek though nobody is near Breath at my back says that something is there Footsteps surround me then slowly disappear Something keeps moving beyond the dark air I came here courting the edge of the blade One final wager was calling my breath Something behind me now waits in the shade I thought I touched danger but summoned death Shadows are dancing along every wall Longer than bodies that move through the night Turning together whenever bells call Each one returning beyond every light Dark invitation keeps calling me near Dead feet are turning while I cling to life Cold hands are reaching whenever I hear I am the living one facing the knife Figures emerge where the darkness runs deep Pale fingers turning with terrible grace Moving like memories pulled out of sleep Nothing that breathes should remain in this place No chest is rising no pulse can be heard Hundreds keep turning around me tonight Nothing is spoken not even a word One by one heads slowly turn to my right My heartbeat betrays me heavy and loud Every dead dancer now knows I am near Heads slowly turn throughout all of the crowd Every dead body can tell I am here Dark invitation keeps calling me near Dead feet are turning while I cling to life Cold hands are reaching whenever I hear I am the living one facing the knife Round and around as the distance grows thin One beating heart is the one thing they hear Each revolution keeps drawing them in Every dead dancer keeps pulling me near A whisper behind me comes colder than air You are still breathing but nobody is there One to my left and another behind Two at the doorway are blocking my way Three cross the opening falling in line Four turn together and refuse to sway I search for an opening watch it collapse Turn for another they tighten the ring Run for the doorway they enter the gaps Double back quickly they follow the swing My breathing grows shorter my heartbeat pounds hard Each revolution removes one retreat Cold at my shoulder they circle the yard Every dead footfall keeps time with my beat Left side is taken the right disappears One passes closely another draws near Footsteps behind me confirm all my fears Every direction is all I can hear Faster I search as the circle draws tight Every escape disappears when I choose Every dead body keeps blocking the light Every new second is something I lose Footsteps gather under my breath One after another keeps closing the room Each revolution keeps carrying death Nearer they gather and tighten my doom Breathing is burning my lungs cannot last One at my shoulder and two at my side Footfalls behind me are gathering fast Three at the doorway leave nowhere to hide Turn and another is already near Move and another comes into my way Run and their rhythm is all I can hear Scream and the dead never answer or sway Heart hammering harder they follow the beat Cold hands are reaching wherever I turn Dead bodies circle around both my feet Every new breath makes my burning lungs burn Nearer they gather I know what they crave Cold fingers reach as I twist and retreat Nothing is left between me and the grave Dead hands keep passing within reach of my feet No path behind me no passage ahead No living voice can be heard in this place Every direction is crowded with dead Every cold body keeps closing the space I know I will die here there is no escape My heartbeat is screaming they answer in stride Cold hands surround me and tighten their shape The circle grows closer with death at my side Dark invitation has answered tonight Dead feet are turning while taking my life Cold hands have reached me beyond every light I was the living one facing the knife Round and around until nothing remains One final heartbeat is all they can hear Cold fills my body and runs through my veins Every dead dancer stops drawing me near The footsteps go silent The circle stands still A cold hand touches my cheek One final breath Then nothing
