[00:19.50]And the night comes again to the circle studded sky
[00:43.14]The stars settle slowly in lonliness they lie
[00:59.70]'Till the universe expodes as a falling star is raised
[01:38.94]Planets are paralyzed mountains are amazed
[01:43.77]But they all glow brighter from the briliance of the blaze
[01:49.86]With the speed of insanity then he dies
[01:57.78]In the green fields a turnin' a baby is born
[02:05.49]His cries crease the wind and mingle with the morn
[02:14.13]An assault upon the order the changing of the guard
[02:19.68]Chosen for a challenge that is hopelessly hard
[02:25.23]And the only single sound is the sighing of the stars
[02:31.41]But to the silence and distance they are sworn
[02:38.85]So dance dance dance
[02:43.44]Teach us to be true
[02:46.68]Come dance dance dance
[02:51.69]'Cause we love you
[02:58.50]Images of innocence charge him go on
[03:08.85]But the decadence of destiny is looking for a pawn
[03:18.78]To a nightmare of knowledge he opens up the gate
[03:23.07]And a blinding revelation is laid upon his plate
[03:28.62]That beneath the greatest love is a hurricane of hate
[03:34.74]And god help the critic of the dawn
[03:44.31]So he stands on the sea and shouts to the shore
[03:51.90]But the louder that he screams the longer he's ignored
[04:04.38]For the wine of oblivion is drunk to the dregs
[04:09.48]And the merchants of the masses almost have to be begged
[04:14.43]'Till the giant is aware someone's pulling at his leg
[04:19.32]And someone is tapping at the door
[04:25.53]To dance dance dance
[04:29.67]Teach us to be true
[04:32.76]Come dance dance dance
[04:37.77]'Cause we love you
[04:43.83]Then his message gathers meaning and it spreads across the land
[04:52.20]The rewarding of his pain is the following of the man
[05:01.89]But ignorance is everywhere and people have their way
[05:07.29]Success is an enemy to the losers of the day
[05:12.18]In the shadows of the churches who knows what they pray
[05:18.51]For blood is the language of the band
[05:28.38]The spanish bulls are beaten the crowd is soon beguiled
[05:36.93]The matador is beautiful a symphony of style
[05:45.90]Excitement is estatic passion places bets
[05:51.09]Gracefully he bows to ovations that he gets
[05:55.74]But the hands that are applauding are slippery with sweat
[06:01.74]And saliva is falling from their smiles
[06:09.09]So dance dance dance
[06:13.77]Teach us to be true
[06:17.04]Come dance dance dance
[06:22.26]'Cause we love you
[06:27.21]Then this overflow of life is crushed into a liar
[06:35.94]The gentle soul is ripped apart and tossed into the fire
[06:44.70]First a smile of rejection at the nearness of the night
[06:49.80]Truth becomes a tragedy limping from the light
[06:59.19]All the heavens are horrified they stagger from the sight
[07:05.01]As the cross is trembling with desire
[07:13.80]They say they can't believe it it's a sacreligious shame
[07:22.29]Now who would want to hurt such a hero of the game
[07:31.02]But you know I predicted it I knew he had to fall
[07:36.39]How did it happen I hope his suffering was small
[07:41.28]Tell me every detail for I've got to know it all
[07:45.99]And do you have a picture of the pain
[07:52.26]So dance dance dance
[07:56.79]Teach us to be true
[08:00.09]Come dance dance dance
[08:05.13]'Cause we love you
[08:10.38]Time takes her toll and the memory fades
[08:18.45]But his glory is broken in the magic that he made
[08:45.51]Reality is ruined it's the freeing from the fear
[08:51.90]The drama is distorted to what they want to hear
[08:59.25]Swimming in their sorrow in the twisting of a tear
[09:03.93]As they wait for the new thrill parade
[09:13.89]Yes the eyes of the rebel have been branded by the blind
[09:22.47]To the safety of sterility the threat has been refined
[09:25.80]The child was created to the slaughterhouse he's led
[09:34.08]So good to be alive when the eulogy is read
[09:42.78]The climax of emotion the worship of the dead
[09:50.10]And the cycle of sacrifice unwinds
[09:57.54]So dance dance dance
[10:01.98]Teach us to be true
[10:05.40]Come dance dance dance
[10:10.50]'Cause we love you
[10:15.42]And the night comes again to the circle studded sky
[10:22.29]The stars settle slowly in lonliness they lie
[10:33.33]'Till the universe expodes as a falling star is raised
[10:39.63]Planets are paralyzed mountains are amazed
[10:43.77]But they all glow brighter from the briliance of the blaze
[10:51.15]With the speed of insanity then he died
