The colors wave in the wind like leaves
Stirred to a dance by the spring time breeze
Casting a shadow down upon me
Laying on my back on my last day free
I can feel in my mind, no it's hunting me
With glistening teeth, it's my destiny
The black claws of death reach for the sky
To swallow me whole and to raise me high
I can see the sun shine start to fade
It cast light on my face in my final day
Now the moment is gone and I close my eyes
When I know that the time has finally arrived
They'll be singing the prayers, and the end has come
They'll be ringing the fires as the chant's begun
They'll be calling my name when the night has done
Then they'll all run away from the burning sun
Blood from my hands and my head, it flows
Why am I trapped like this, God knows
Staring into a dark reality
Knowing what awaits makes it hard to breathe
The lights are the fires of my city home
Standing, I'm branded and left alone
Kept in isolation and a grim fate
Every choice only leads me to hate
Tears from the eyes of a wicked child
Holding on tight to what I defiled
Black as the night and it withers away
I can see cracks forming plain as day
They'll be shouting in fear as I rise again
They'll be crying the tears but they won't pretend
That the one who they curse, she was always me
And if I learned to fly I'd take to the wing
Out from the dark of the sky
From the future we denied
Comes a chance to save the world
Out from our dreams, a nightmare dies
By holy means, angelic sigh
We join the dance of gods and girls
Once I set sail on a sea of rage
Longing for freedom, trapped in a cage
The whole world was set as my dying stage
Now the opera's sung for the wars I waged
Stuck in the dance like a homesick kid
Maybe my soul won't do as I bid
Searing these memories in my head
There'll be penance to pay long after I'm dead
When will this hate cease its whispering
See the tide's coming in, I've been wondering
How will it end as I kneel on the beach
I can't see Valhalla within my reach
They'll be loading my body upon the pyre
They'll be shooting the arrows to light the fire
Then they summon the spirits and I swing by
Like a ghost in the night, they'll all hear my cries
Waiting for judgment to clear my name
How could I want this, I must be insane
Dreams and hopes dashed out upon the rocks
With a heart made of stone it was quite a shock
But I'm guilty, I know, and my soul be damned
There is no one above who will take my hand
There's a silence that covers me in the grave
My last wish of salvation evaporates
When my eyes are closed and they've buried me
Why are those eyes then still haunting me
Crystalized, trapped, and imprisoned in power
I see his face one last time and my soul is devoured
He'll be wagging his tail, he remembers me
I can see on his face deathly hidden glee
With a predator's grin, we've all been betrayed
Succumbing to sin, we all fade away
Out from the dark of the sky
From the future we denied
Comes a chance to save the world
Out from our dreams, a nightmare dies
By holy means, angelic sigh
We join the dance of gods and girls
I made my wish to save the world
Enter the dance of gods and girls
