Crucifixion - Live

And the night comes again to the circle studded sky
 The stars settle slowly, in loneliness they lie
 'Till the universe expodes as a falling star is raised
 Planets are paralyzed, mountains are amazed
 But they all glow brighter from the briliance of the blaze
 With the speed of insanity, then he dies.
 In the green fields a turnin', a baby is born
 His cries crease the wind and mingle with the morn
 An assault upon the order, the changing of the guard
 Chosen for a challenge that is hopelessly hard
 And the only single sound is the sighing of the stars
 But to the silence and distance they are sworn
 So dance dance dance
 Teach us to be true
 Come dance dance dance
 'Cause we love you
 Images of innocence charge him go on
 But the decadence of destiny is looking for a pawn
 To a nightmare of knowledge he opens up the gate
 And a blinding revelation is laid upon his plate
 That beneath the greatest love is a hurricane of hate
 And God help the critic of the dawn.
 So he stands on the sea and shouts to the shore,
 But the louder that he screams the longer he's ignored
 For the wine of oblivion is drunk to the dregs
 And the merchants of the masses almost have to be begged
 'Till the giant is aware, someone's pulling at his leg,
 And someone is tapping at the door.
 To dance dance dance
 Teach us to be true
 Come dance dance dance
 'Cause we love you
 Then his message gathers meaning and it spreads accross the land
 The rewarding of his pain is the following of the man
 But ignorance is everywhere and people have their way
 Success is an enemy to the losers of the day
 In the shadows of the churches, who knows what they pray
 For blood is the language of the band.
 The Spanish bulls are beaten; the crowd is soon beguiled,
 The matador is beautiful, a symphony of style
 Excitement is estatic, passion places bets
 Gracefully he bows to ovations that he gets
 But the hands that are applauding are slippery with sweat
 And saliva is falling from their smiles
 So dance dance dance
 Teach us to be true
 Come dance dance dance
 'Cause we love you
 Then this overflow of life is crushed into a liar
 The gentle soul is ripped apart and tossed into the fire.
 First a smile of rejection at the nearness of the night
 Truth becomes a tragedy limping from the light
 All the (canons|heavens) are horrified, they stagger from the sight
 As the cross is trembling with desire.
 They say they can't believe it, it's a sacreligious shame
 Now, who would want to hurt such a hero of the game?
 But you know I predicted it; I knew he had to fall
 How did it happen? I hope his suffering was small.
 Tell me every detail, I've got to know it all,
 And do you have a picture of the pain?
 So dance dance dance
 Teach us to be true
 Come dance dance dance
 'Cause we love you
 Time takes her toll and the memory fades
 but his glory is broken, in the magic that he made.
 Reality is ruined; it's the freeing from the fear
 The drama is distorted, to what they want to hear
 Swimming in their sorrow, in the twisting of a tear
 As they wait for a new thrill parade.
 The eyes of the rebel have been branded by the blind
 To the safety of sterility, the threat has been refined
 The child was created to the slaughterhouse he's led
 So good to be alive when the eulogy is read
 The climax of emotion, the worship of the dead
 And the cycle of sacrifice unwinds.
 So dance dance dance
 Teach us to be true
 Come dance dance dance
 'Cause we love you
 And the night comes again to the circle studded sky
 The stars settle slowly, in loneliness they lie
 'Till the universe expodes as a falling star is raised
 Planets are paralyzed, mountains are amazed
 But they all glow brighter from the briliance of the blaze
 With the speed of insanity, then he died.
