Everything here is so cold
Everything here is so dark
I remember it as from a dream
From a corner of this time

Diabolic shapes float by
Out of the dark
I remember it was here that I died
By following the freezing moon

Where would I go?
What would I do?
If only I could be,
Loved once again by you

. Ever changing, always the same,
Mother Nature is her name.
Renewed each year in glory sublime,
That is the fate of Father Time.
Together they will be till the end of days,
Forever locked in an eternal embrace.
-

The pounding of heart becomes fainter,
Blood cooling, slowing in vein,
They move now, swifter, faster,
As the life from this mortal he drains.

Around and around to the music,
The blood pounding in her ears,
He is before her yet she cannot see him,
She knows not the bringer of tears.

Now away from the rest he twirls her,
As her last breath escapes her lips,
The music ends, he dips her low,
And her life away from her slips.

Too late she finally understands,
That dancing with Death is she,
Though he dances with us all, in time,
The Last Dance is saved for thee.
