Dust on silk

Cracks in glass

Eyes that blin

as shadows pass

She made them sing

She made them stay

They watched her fall

then looked away

Dance for me - still and sweet

Lifeless grace in dead repeat

Painted smiles, waxen bloom

Waltz with me... in the Marionette Room

Strings unseen

A breathless hush

Steps between

the velvet crush

One hand twitched

One eye turned

Frozen flesh

but something burned

Dance for me - still and sweet

Lifeless grace in dead repeat

Painted smiles, waxen bloom

Waltz with me... in the Marionette Room

They move in time

No strings at all

A silent crime

behind each doll

Dance for me - still and sweet

Lifeless grace in dead repeat

Painted smiles, waxen bloom

Waltz with me... in the Marionette Room
