lyrics

You loved me then you loved me not
Long years best forgot
Denying all that came before
All talk of 'us' must stop
Silent fall the chants and songs
Bowing heads to fear
The Dance draws near

Silence spreads 'cross morning land
Sun-setting from the East
Draw you close, a moment's hope
Smiling through the tears
Denial first then all disowned
A Judas kiss this time
Guttering flames, the darkness looms
We recognise the signs

It's here
Darkness here

Horizon moving slowly, bodies sway to a distant drum
Eager crowds, swell with hope, always hold the line
They face us now, faithless and how, now faceless crowds
Cannot meet their gaze

The wraiths around, the lost are found
The burden bends them so, hanging in the dark

All we've known and loved, all the promises we made
Fracturing 'til nothing's left but a silent half-lit cell

Take the hand, take any hand, but where's the hand ?
There's no-one left for you

Just the dance remains
Just the dance remains
Just the dance remains
For souls that sing no more

Days are short, vision fades, horizon lost, behind the flames
Beyond the night, beyond disguise, cloaked in fear, just the beat survives
For souls that sing no more
For souls that sing no more
Only dance
Only dance

For souls that sing no more the dance remains
