You say you want to dance with me
You don’t know what you say
The dance I dance is eons old
Your dance is back, that way
Your dance is springtime, beauty life
Your few short measures lively
Dear child, how I envy you
Your doom is smiling kindly
The music from the violin
Is for my ears alone
The notes are wild; so darkly sweet
You shudder at their tone
I see your feet begin to move
Captured by the seductive tune
Stop them now, or go away
They’ll lead you to your tomb
For I am the one that dances
Across the eternal floor
As ages turn and nations burn
Will you make one more?
