Perdition's Waltz Lyrics


A moonlit though misty night

I woke from uneasy slumber

The forest nearby, as always it cries

With a voice like roaring thunder

The path I walked, obstructed by roots and stones

Lead into the woods, so I walked in

The cold and humid wind crawled into my bones

Forward, forward to reach the goal so deep within

While I was stumbling through grove and bramble

My eyes caught an oddly appearing view

Its presence was obscure and evil

Curiosity moved my body forward so I could see...

And so we danced

The dance of death and I glanced

At my future, the end

Has finally come

Through the scrub I fought my way

Its thorns cut my skin wide open

But the inner desire forced me to hurry

Until I finally reached my goal then

Its shimmering true shape, so beautiful yet crooked

Forsooth, I was trapped under its spell

Why I didn't run before its claws took me?

I could not tell

And so we danced

The dance of death and I glanced

At my future, the end

Has finally come

Stripped of all fear

My life reappeared

Before my eyes and only now I realize

There was no one there, except for me and my knife
