Flickering like the lights in my eyes
Flitting across the yard, never quite placed
Shadows of angels and devils in disguise
Just a tip of the flame and I could see their face

Shadows dance across the grass
a silent waltz, a midnight mass
whipped faster, in frenzy
enveloping the sky, the earth, the sea

Stretching longer than they have before
Just to know if they've the strength to reach shore
Always being better, always needing more
Shadows dance in a waltz of war

Behind my eyes, can you see them shifting?
Behind my eyes, can you hear them singing?
Waltzing, dancing through my mind
Darling they see right through your happy eyes

Take me by my shaking hand
and join me in my shadow dance
