Solid silence
Screaming words
Yelling nothing
To be heard
Utter darkness
Blinding light
Falling away
From your sight
Reaching out
Slapped away
This is a cruel game
Which you play
Dancing circles
Standing still
The wheel turns
As it will
Asking questions
Answer none
Falling silent
Darkness come
For the sun to rise another day
You must give your life away
Will you dance the spiral true
And save us from the wicked rule?
Frozen city floating high
This is where you come to die
To dance the spiral and dance it well
And save us from the cursed spell
It is frightening this I know
To die in a place so alone
But this we ask and this you do
Dancing your spiral before the moon
Spinning now the spiral dance
You can hear the ghostly chants
They accept your sacrifice
And so you fall upon the ice
The spiral’s done
Your tale is through
The curse remains
And so we rue
Faster faster
Chasing leaves
You’ll only catch a glimpse of me
Crackle crackle
Fire burn
You’ll never know the ones you spurn
Dancing circles
Dancing fast
I will be the one that lasts
High castle
On the hill
In your throne room blood shall spill
Fire fire
Leaping high
The wicker man shall laugh and die
For you don’t know my name, good friend
But I shall tell you
In the end
Some call me Robin
Some call me Puck
But for you I’m just bad luck
I’ll sing a secret song for you
Song for you
Song for you
I’ll sing a secret song for you
Softly in your dreams
I’ll speak a great darkness
And you will heed my call
I’ll whisper a soft mystery
Until you can’t hear at all
I’ll run around in your mind
Until you scream for me
I’ll taunt and tease and make you bleed
And you’ll always love me
I’ll sing a secret song for you
Song for you
Song for you
I’ll sing a secret song for you
Softly in your dreams
We will never be apart
You’ll be mine forevermore
I will drink your sweet dark blood
And you will beg for more
I’ll hold you tightly in your mind
And gently in your sleep
You’ll love me
Love me forevermore
Even as you weep
I’ll sing a secret song for you
Song for you
Song for you
I’ll sing a secret song for you
Softly in your dreams
In the silence of darkness, I hear you call to me.
Your golden voice piercing the clouds of my loneliness
And making me whole
Can I go on without you
Can I exist without you
What is life without you
A paradise lost
A doomed ship, tossed about at sea
What is life with you
A colorful sunset
A sigh filled with love
Beauty surrounds you
Darkness withers in your radiant presence
But what am I
Am I doomed to wander in your shadow
Forever unnoticed by your bright self
Can I step forward
Can I kneel at your side
Can I be your knight, your champion
Or am I too small
Do your eyes pass over me toward stronger shores
I am an island, and you are the ocean around me
You are the sun that shines down on me
You brighten my world by existing
You batter my shores, my senses
Your every breath exciting
Leaving me hoping
Hoping that with your next glorious breath
That you may speak my name and call me to your side
It’s a new year
Where has the time gone?
It’s a new year
I’ll sing a bittersweet song
It’s a new year
For the time gone by
It’s a new year
The last one just flew by
It’s a new year
Time of laughter, time of tears
It’s a new year
Time of war, time of fears
It’s a new year
But the killing’s still going on
It’s a new year
But the old haunts us still
It’s a new year
But I don’t feel any older
It’s a new year
But the weather’s getting colder
It’s a new year
What’s your promise to break or keep?
It’s a new year
I think it’s time to sleep
