I'm tetering on the edge of the living
and the dead,
and no one is there to grab my hand
So I dance the dance of death,
and whisper to you my remorse
My self-condemnation,
I call your name, but you dont hear it.
I beg you to take my hand.
but the devil takes it,
and we dance the dance of death
Our atrophic waltz you finally saw
Only once the jealousy consumed you
You tried to take my hand
but couldn't grasp it.
And the dance continued
I whispered your name,
You heard my remorse
but still you couldn't take me away,
So I dance the dance of death,
and whispered to you my remorse.
