Ballet of Desolation Lyrics


I have gone to the sunset

alone, wandered in confusion

I had the crescent as my bow

Was it an illusion?

Suddenly I am in a wood darker

than my eyes, can't even see

the sky. Standing in a

clearing enlightened 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

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 and now they

are 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

"Before the morning arrives with

light you must make up your mind."

She whispered...

There is no doubt in what I'll do

and as I spoke she smiled

"So let us be one, we will 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 and forget

the error of our ways

as the time silent passes

into remembrance
