Dancing With Demons

Petra Berger


So the King's about to die 
His final way to leave me 
He's still dressed in black and white 
But now the odds cannot deceive me, 
She will fall from power 
As she can no longer sign 
Her name next to his 
Her shame hard to miss 
And I'll hold my head up high 

Though she's no longer with him, now the dice have been tossed 
I'll keep my pain alive, for the time we have lost 
To strike in perfect rhythm, to catch his final breath 
I'm dancing with demons, I'm dancing with demons 

So the end can come at will 
And take what she's denied me 
The love I dreamt of still 
The rage I felt when she defied me 
Now he lays there crying 
As he calls her name out loud 
But now I'll defend 
My vows 'till the end 
I won't let her near his shroud 

Though she's no longer with him, now the dice have been tossed 
I'll keep my pain alive, for the time we have lost 
To strike in perfect rhythm, to catch his final breath 
I'm dancing with demons, I'm dancing with demons 

No vengeance, no treason 
Nothing to Machiavellian 
No tangens, no poison 
Remember you're Italian 
She'll vanish, she'll vanish 
Be banished, be banished 
It's pointless, now he's 
Now he is gone, gone 

Though she's no longer with him, now the dice have been tossed 
I'll keep my pain alive, for the time we have lost 
To strike in perfect rhythm, to catch his final breath 
I'm dancing with demons, I'm dancing with demons 

She'll vanish, be banished 
It's pointless, now he's 
Now he is gone, gone
