They danced the dance eternal, fire and flame
strangest of creatures to the pyre came
Lonely and the silent, wretched and wild
beating the drum to dance away the night
They danced the dance eternal, chaos and grace
twilight to starlight set their hearts ablaze
Feet entangled in a furious glide
beings unknown emerging from their hide
They danced the dance eternal, fire and flame
beings unknown and creatures of no name
Shadows still emerging black as the night
beating the drum, the wretched and the wild
Feelings they share not feelings for me
Watching the sky and waiting for
something to break and light to appear
Watching the sky and waiting
Tears that they cry not tears for me
Watching myself and waiting for
something to break and light to appear
Watching myself and waiting
