Better days
When the world was beautiful
Dancing was a fever
A feeling so high
All the lovers raged on and on
Upon a mountain of lovers
Twisting, sensual
A touch, so seldom
It brought shivers

Taking chances
Realizing that one night
Was the last of eternal bliss
Lasting love and happiness
Over
Without so much a proper farewell
Now begging to return to the dance floor
Walking towards the exit
Humming slightly
To a tune not forgotten

Walking amongst unfamiliar faces
Forbidden love
Prohibited from falling in love again
Not a chance to see what was happiness
Only a songstress could save me
Perhaps if I shouted for her, for him, for you
Resisting is foolish
For I have been consumed by an angel
Who sought me out
And ordered me to raise arms up
And shout for love

A sound in the night
Stranger in the night
Confined to solitary confinement
Forcing me to reconsider
The life chosen
Closer and closer
Redesigning the world in an image
Where love is in all of us

One step ahead
Planning for a revival
When all hell broke
But an epiphany occurred
This was the dream
To travel far and near
Where the world is seen
In multicolored
And black and white
This was a beautiful sight
The beautiful dream

A mighty return to this dance floor
Risen from ashes
A triumphant victor
Shining lights upon the followers
Notice this is reality
Not fiction
The sound of music
Flowing into each body
Embraces and affection
A thrill
Heartbeats ceasing
Trying to capture the intensity of a moment that is unforgettable

Created from nothing
An illusion that was created
To preserve a creature so pure
It was thought to have been banned from mortal eyes
Now it has crashed
Creating confusion amongst the lovers
Fearing for her safety
It created a masquerade ball
Surrounding by what she deemed reality
A distant land
Only she knew
When the perfect world shattered

Rumors spread of a goddess with the powers of the forbidden
Foreseeing a brighter day for those who chose a higher path
The world knew of the secret
Complicating information
However the brightest in the world
Seemed unaffected by the discovery
Hiding their connection

When the goddess loathed being captured
She revealed the master plan
But promising to strike twice
If the world saw what was lying underneath
Gone, the goddess sought shelter far away
Nothing the mortals knowledge of her plan
Striking from heavens above
Lightning struck twice
Blinding the universe
For only a second
Nothing existed

Reminding the world
Dark disco magic
Warped time and love
Nothing was ever bright
When left alone
Or forgotten
Or simply existing
