lyrics

DANCERS AT THE END OF TIME

There's no edge in this multitude of rainbows,
No gold awaiting for the vain
The ships that sailed across the ends of Earth
Are still floating on the blackened halls of space

There's no hope in the mantle of creation
No gods real enough to pray
The dreams that flew between the straits of birth
Are now staring at oblivion's sullen face

The vast, artificial illusions
Crowned the world with the blazing jewels of wealth
Brought no cure to the curse of immorality
Filled no void in the emptiness of life…life

But the virtues that went beyond my knowledge
Were reflected in the mirror of your eyes
Assumed shapes of transcendence and bewilderment
Taught me steps that were never to be mine

Dance!
Where the past is only infinite
Dance!
Where the future has no place
Dance on the surface of eternity
There's no end to the twirling of our fate

Torpid dawns are buried in the mountains
Once they rose but that will never be
Cosmic flowers wither in the gardens
Leave this world to come and dance with me

Swept-up by the fantasy
Where life flows like a stream from the depths of our hearts
Raging lethargic seas
To purge all the beliefs that were build on the sand
Feel for the mystery
Imbued unto the womb that gave birth to the stars
Joining the majesty
Which soars and in our dreams is returning to us

Ardent suns cannot bend the new horizons
They are clinging to the sadness of your smile
Claws of thunder will not cleave these hollow skies
They are waiting for your cry


Dance!
Where our love is only infinite
Dance!
Where regret is out of place
Dance on this kiss, as our lips joining
In this dance there's no mistake

Swept-up by the fantasy
Where life flows like a stream from the depths of our hearts
Raging lethargic seas
To purge all the beliefs that were build on the sand
Feel for the mystery
Imbued unto the womb that gave birth to the stars
Joining the majesty
Which soars and in our dreams is returning to us

And in our dreams is returning to us
And in our dreams is returning…
Turning to us!
