Slow stepping dance across the floor You and I, my suit and tie I'm in black, you in red A dress, silky sound, brushes the ground Gaze into a void so deep Seemingly innocent, innocence evident Or as I said, so it seems Reflecting mine, but I saw no sign The dance becomes jagged, the dance becomes rough My suit is ruined, my shoes are scuffed Your dress, you caress, as it bursts in flames Unburnt, untouched, the fire you tame I fall to my knees You stand over me On a ground unlevelled I had my dance with the Devil

Dance with the Devil
Slow stepping dance across the floor You and I, my suit and tie I'm in black, you in red A dress, silky sound, brushes the ground Gaze into a void so deep Seemingly innocent, innocence evident Or as I said, so it seems Reflecting mine, but I saw no sign The dance becomes jagged, the dance becomes rough My suit is ruined, my shoes are scuffed Your dress, you caress, as it bursts in flames Unburnt, untouched, the fire you tame I fall to my knees You stand over me On a ground unlevelled I had my dance with the Devil
Just something I pictured in my mind... what else can you see? Tell me in the comments. What does she (the Devil) look like? What is the floor like? What do you think the setting looks like?
