We're dancing upon The ruins of ancient empires Under the rubble Of ancient words Casting arcane Litanies of angels The opalescence of obscure vaults And decadent pomps Still staring The streets gone mad Of new worlds... and still, following with heart in hand Heavy with anguish Purpled streets That blood once saw Hospitable alcoves Waiting for the morning's scents The painted sky crowned by dawn We're dancing upon The ruins of ancient empires Under the rubble Of ancient words Casting arcane Litanies of angels The opalescence of obscure vaults And decadent pomps Metamorphosis! The depths of the sea Mesmerize me! Oh no! Metamorphosis! The veil of time YOU MASTER! Change me! Oh no!
