DANSE MACABRE Step into the darkness around the candle flame Join my dance, you never will be sorry that you came The hidden depths of shadows have dancers cloaked within It's a song of sweet corruption and delicious sin. So your body will do anything your mind tells it to do But your mind will only want those things that I desire you to. Across the universe our timeless dance steps lead In search of pain and suffering, the things on which I feed And I promise you'll enjoy it, each scream or cry or tear The despair, the agony and, best of all, the fear The nightmares you awake from disgusted but excited I'll make them all come true, I swear you'll be delighted When the victims and the flesh, the blood , the death are real Let me show you how disgusted and just how good you'll feel We'll prey upon the helpless, you'll love to hear them plead And we'll cut down the brave and strong just to watch them bleed You'll want it just as I do although you know it's wrong But the wanting is the real gift of my seductive song We'll step a measure of betrayal and of cruel deceit To hunt a soul into despair will leave your own replete It's an art to build up hope just to crush it with a lie To keep alive a spirit that only prays to die You will suffer pain so exquisite and so fine I can raise you from a lingering death, time after time You'll beg to find the pure bliss that pure agony can bring A willing victim of the dance and the song I sing Come and join the twisting dance, heed my siren song Eternity can be so dull, it is so very long A little entertainment is all I ask of you And I won't ask for anything that you don't want to do So your body will do anything your mind tells it to do But your mind will only want those things that I desire you to By Michele [Miki] Dennis
