Blackheart's Dance Lyrics

Blackheart crept up on me one ill-starred luckless night

And made himself a dwelling in my soul

He nailed shut the shutters to keep away the light

For Blackheart turns his nightmares in the darkness and the cold

Now I hear what Blackheart hears I see with Blackheart's eyes

I smile his thin and icy smile and preach the Blackheart's lies

And none can ever save me and none will get the chance

As I live and if I live I dance the Blackheart's dance

Blackheart never leaves meI am bound to him with chains

That wind around my heart under my skin

I can know no pleasureI'm insensible to pain

Blackheart calls the shadows that smother from within

And all I know is what he knows I feel what Blackheart feels

For all my senses show me only Blackheart knows what's real

And none can ever save me and none will get the chance

As I live and if I live I dance the Blackheart's dance

If I had the will then I would pray for judgement day

And If I had the courage I would fight

And if I had the strength then I would tear myself away

I would forswear the darkness and run into the light

To see the world with my own eyes to break the Blackheart's chains

To know I am beloved of god to feel the pleasure and the pain

But none can ever save me and none will get the chance

As I live and if I live I dance the Blackheart's dance

To see the world with my own eyes to break the Blackheart's chains

To know I am beloved of god to feel the pleasure and the pain

But none can ever save me and none will get the chance

As I live and if I live

I dance the Blackheart's, Dance the Blackheart's,

Dance the Blackheart's dance
