But tonight we dance
Breathe deep and easy, Swallow this prideStare at my shaking hands through bone dry, bloodshot eyesClock strip the hours, I count the milesWill you be there waiting, awake until sunrise?
I have traveled in darkness for what seems like daysI crawl from the sinkholes, collapsed under this weight (under this weight)I know not your sorrow, but I know mineSo say you'll stay and dance with me tonight
In the glow of twilight, our world is finally calmI felt it complete me, when the stars give way to dawnA language universal, but I speak not its tongueIs this a night that spans forever, or a dawn that never comes?
I have traveled in darkness for what seems like daysI crawl from the sinkholes, collapsed under this weight (under this weight)I know not your sorrow, but I know mineSo say you'll stay and dance with me tonight
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight...)
Tomorrow we might wake in servitude and sadness (servitude and sadness)I will give you everything if you only would have me! (if you only would have me!)Tomorrow we will sweat and toilOur hands will quiver caked with soilTomorrow we'll give it one last chanceBut tonight we danceBut tonight we dance!
I have traveled in darkness for what seems like daysI crawl from the sinkholes, collapsed under this weight (under this weight)I know not your sorrow, but I know mineSo say you'll stay and dance with me tonight
