Reign - Waltz Joyless

O' withered shade of man, you've lost yourself in the dark again
I offer you my hand, with eternity, would you take this final dance

We weave a complex form, a fit and a flurry in a violent storm
We cast our bodies apart and orbit each other
In a moment of calm
We clash together, our hands interlocked and I am so weary now

O' penitent man, I'll guide you through this infernal dance
Our bodies dislocate as your mind starts to erase, we contort as time is displaced

Now reflect back to your time on earth
Were you a just man and what was it worth?

I took no partner in life, bore no children
I spent my days in repentance and prayer
But no word ever came to me
There was nobody there.
I devoted all my life
Kneeled before the cross and it bore for me no knowledge, no enlightenment
Now I wish to repent, for the sins that I've committed
I put my faith in the words of foolish men

We resume our final form
A darkened repose in a tranquil dawn
We draw our bodies together, in a cold embrace
A moment of bliss
We drift apart
Our flesh is erased and I see so clearly now

I lived my life blind, in halls of countenance and incandescent light
I learn now how to see as I walk this darkness through eternity
It's the only thing that awaits me now
I feel it's embrace
It pulls me down
And erases me
