Dance With Us ------------------ A chandelier swings on a thread Above the marble, cold and black The gold masks hide the pale and dead While ruby wine can't bring them back The host bares teeth and takes his bow The walls press closer to the crowd They dance and drink and won't stop now They spin until their backs are bowed Dance with us, you cannot leave Dance with us, you have to believe The morning light will never show The cursed ones just spin below No dawn will break above this cursed place The trapped ones repeat their endless spin Their shoes are worn to nothing, stripped and base The gallows wait as feet keep stomping in The clock has struck the thirteenth hour The violin cries out its power The countess laughs and will not bow The walls press closer to the crowd They dance and drink and won't stop now They spin until their backs are bowed Dance with us, you cannot leave, Dance with us, you have to believe. They party on in darkness, death, and dread A celebration calling for the dead --- "Dance With Us" Copyright © 2025 Rick n' Stolti. All rights reserved. [email protected]
