If you dance with the Devil, a dancer for hire

{Don't let go}

His hands may be cold but the floor is on fire

{Don't let your fear show}



There are worse places to be than the Prince's ball

{I've been there}

He knows the true value of a soul

{He'll treat it with care}



So how did I end in the Devil's arms?

{Was it his eyes?}

Why did I give in to the darkest of charms?

{This evil prince of lies?}



I'll dance with whomever wants a turn

{You just have to ask}

Especially if he can give me power to burn

{I can always make it last}



Don't stop the dream

{Don't break the glass}

{I don't care if it's not real}

If you want a dance, just wait in line,

While my prince shows me how to feel.

Feel my sorrow, feel my joy,

Feel it surround you, you’re just a toy.

Feel my laughter, feel my rage,

Call to the sons of the silent age.



Feel my joy, feel my pain

See me dance nude in the rain

I’ve felt so much, I’ve tried so hard

But I was left scarred



Bruised and battered, I turned away

And I would like to die today

Feel my sorrow, feel my woe,

I looked, there’s no where to go



Feel my laughter, feel my glee,

Feel the makings of eternity.

Feel the ache, feel the wound,

Feel the blood breaking through.



Feel the laughter cover the pain

Feel the things that have made me insane

Feel my life, feel my death,

There’s nothing left.



So can you feel the things that I’ve done?

Can you feel the battles I’ve won?

If you’ve felt the pain and the glee

You’ve felt me

Can you feel me?

What’s left to be?

Wanna feel me?

It's Christmas time again,

A time of hope and cheer;

I'll revel in my pain,

Await another hopeless year.



I see no need for gifts,

I see no need for guests.

I'd like to widen those rifts

Between us for the best.



I do not like the face you don,

I do not wish you well.

Just leave me to hurt alone,

Trapped in this Christmas hell.



At least the Grinch could hate,

He felt something for these days.

I just want Christmas to break

'Neath my indifferent gaze.



I have no real reason

For the darkness that dwells within,

But every single Christmas

Scars me like a sin.



So celebrate these holidays,

Hidden beneath your mask.

I'm done with all that happy haze

So leave me to my task.

~Lord Vespertilio

There's nothing behind those eyes but pain

It briefly shows but soon is gone again.



I took too long, left this too late,

Was this always to be our fate?



You looked inside and found nothing there

Though you kept trying 'til you couldn't bear

The pain of life, the wait for death

I look in you and see nothing left.



I took too long, left this too late,

Surely there must be more to fate.



Looking within, nothing looks back

Now comes the time to face all the facts.

I fear you're lost deep within yourself

Or have you just gone and left us a shell?



I fought hard to save the one that I knew

But nothing remains of that part of you.



I took too long, left it all too late,

Who am I to argue with fate.



~Lord Vespertilio

I love, who swore to never fall love's prey.

Should Cupid have such power, my mind made?

I knew no love, 'til Cupid had his say,

Now I love he who fell to Earth and stayed.



But though I love, I cannot know love's life;

This man will never know my name or face.

Oh Cupid, why send me this pain, this strife?

Love only burdens runners in life's race.



Dark Cupid's scheme is not for man to know,

But still I ask what Cupid had to gain.

I shall forgive his act, though he my foe,

For Cupid's shaft took me beyond love's pain.



One man I love, his eyes of blue and gold,

Though Cupid's mark hit true, his aim too bold.



~Lord Vespertilio
