Our Last Gloomy Dance

(album: Euphonic Entropy - 2020)

Hark! The choir of moaning souls sing the weeping lady's waltz

A warm summer night you guessed the wish in my eyes
A sparkling heart in the dark, a lonely star in the blank
You took my silver hand and I forgot my name
If only I could forget now the pain that destroyed all I was

A cold morning you left, l drowned in quiet despair
Being lured to the darkest retreat there was in my shuttered heart

Now I'm singing these shadowy sonnets I wrote to plead for your return
The last dim melody I sighed with my last breath
Now I'm singing this shadowy chant I wrote to plead for you to return
To accompany me in our last gloomy waltz

Twisted shadows around us, our own court of fallen angels, and forever you and me
Conquering eternity, dancing my gloomy dance, night after night
Party of lost souls dance the weeping lady's waltz; we're abandoned phantoms who mourn our eternal sorrow and loss
Wipe away our tears, calm our agony, we're phantoms in grief we're condemned to suffer for eternity

I will not remain locked in grief, I swear I will no longer bleed
How could I? I'm death, why my heart still beats?

Weep and weep, this is my condemn, I'll wait for you out of my grave
Forever inside, forever mine, forever mine

I recall the night I fainted between your arms
I smoldered consumed by your glance
Like flames of hell it burned my heart
No more tears to shed, my soul lives in despair
Since you left I drift in the dark, I am doomed to this frenzied dance

Now I'm singing these shadowy sonnets I wrote to plead for your return
The last dim melody I sighed with my last breath
Now I'm singing this shadowy chant I wrote to plead for you to return
To accompany me in our last gloomy waltz
