Gather one, gather all Come in to this very ball No matter if thy gentlemen tall Or thy lady of a stature small Everyone will dance this glorious night Where a pair will meet the prize of light So admire thy partner ladies and gentlemen, and lay in their sight
With a simple beat, we'll begin with a slow pace Do no fear, this is no race Gaze into their masked face And feel a piece of being free Or what whatever it is, it doesn't concern me Now together guide thy partner on the beat of one, two, three
Faster now, let the beat take hold Twirl if you may if my voice got you sold Fans and hands, together be bold The night is young, its you and thy partner You feel your body move, why not dance a bit longer Beating hearts, painting in the air, don't let that bother It is time go faster, don't worry the end is near Besides, with everything you hear Why, it would bring a tear If you wish to end this chance A time to truly dance So with another stance Follow the beat of four, five, six Tired now? Remember when you came, remember the Styx Your mind may say. its big trick, just remember even your mind is a nix
Heavily you breathe Just imagine your drinking from Lethe Know I sheathe You and thy partner You may hear people fall to the altar But dance a bit longer Because it is too late To release your anger and hate Because you are in the wheel of fate
