I had gone to the sunset alone, wandered in confusion

I had the crescent as my bow – Was it an illusion?

Suddenly I’m in the woods, darker than my eyes

Can’t even see the sky

Standing in a clearing, enlighted by my thoughts

I see a naked woman and she cries

And then she spoke to me: “Take my hand!”

The trees began to move, I said “Save me from this land!”

A warm feeling struck me as I touched her

I closed my eyes, my mind went blank

And in the clearing, under the starry sky

I danced as my heart sank

The night is a cold and desolate darkness

And in the night a ballet dancer beneath the moon

Ballet of Desolation

Ballet of Desolation

Ballet of Desolation

Ballet of Desolation

She took me to places, I had never seen

Showed me all in our dream

We danced our way through the walls of time

She was a sorceress, I could not believe my eyes

The laughing blind eyes of a stillborn grey rabbit

They’ve witnessed it all now they’re staring at me

And in this land, beyond forests and creeks

Where the fires still burn, where the old trees can see

Deep through the mists of creation

Above the old river Styx

The night is a cold and desolate darkness

And in the night a ballet dancer beneath the moon

Ballet of Desolation

Ballet of Desolation

Ballet of Desolation

Ballet of Desolation

“Before the morning arrives with light, you must make up your mind”

“There is no doubt in what I’ll do” – and as I spoke she smiled

“So let us be one, we’ll live together with the curse for the rest of our days”

And when the dawn pushes the night aside

We will dance in the morning haze

We will dance in the morning haze

Forget the error of our ways

As time silent passes

Into remembrance
