Dancing in blood how you slit your throat,

People can't screa, they're choking

On the dust collected in this mansion of yours,

Dancing on still till dawn.

 

They gape wondering how you move still

Dancing with perfection itself

Gliding trails on this slippery floor

But then suddenly all stops.

 

Heartbeats on the floor

Echoes of past tear through

Don't you hear the laughter?

All across this place it ensues.

 

This dead music haunts

But makes you move

One step then another

Your hands on its heart.

 

Pressing on with beats

The lighter glimmer

Finally the screams,

Blood on every sinner.

 

Yet all that blood was not enough.

 

So once again you'll build

A castle on some high rock

Send some cards to the ones you fancy

Keep them in the stones of the hall.

 

Forever shall they be yours.

Oh smile, my knight of red

Do not pretend this isn't what you intend.

I see in your eyes the thirst for more

but I see in theirs too

They can never be alone.
