Guide My Hand

The Dark Waltz

I know that you are afraid you're feeling lost and betrayed but you have nothing to fear you are simply my guest here

I've set the table for you the finest of wine and food I know you don't understand don't think, just give me your hand

and come dance the dark waltz with me gaze into the mirror and be freed as darkness devours the light and ushers in eternal night

I hope you like your bridal gown as black as the heart that pounds inside my chest like a drum at long last this day has come

finally, the light will fade the world will wake wrapped in shade raise your glass my little pet and toast the final sunset

and come dance the dark waltz with me gaze into the mirror and be freed as darkness devours the light and ushers in eternal night

sit with me upon your throne how your appetite has grown now that you are my dark queen you'll have the best of everything

but before we begin our feast you have to dispatch that beast as the midnight bells start to chime raise your blade and prove you're mine

I am drawn to the darkness, to the shadows and the shade I detest vibrant colors, I can't wait for them to fade I am drawn to the darkness, I feel it coursing through my veins in and out of my black heart and up into my brain

how I long for the sunset, for the daylight to dissolve into the blessed twilight as the cover of night falls I dream that my nightmares have all come to pass and wake to find the world doomed and headed to hell fast

take that cross and turn it upside down forsake that church and burn it to the ground

I am drawn to the darkness like a moth to a flame in either case the outcome would probably be the same I am drawn to the darkness by an angel of light cast straight out of heaven for the crime of being right

if I'm being honest, I've always felt this way I never bought what I was taught, from the path I strayed every since I was a child, He's whispered in my ear a message of empowerment that to this day I hear

take that cross and turn it upside down forsake that church and burn it to the ground

I am drawn to the darkness, I feel warm in its embrace all those catholic guilt trips are gone without a trace I am drawn to the darkness like Wednesdays' child of woe I am fueled by the fire that burns down below

there is only one commandment: do as you desire if you want to feel His warmth, come closer to the fire
