have you ever danced with the devil under the pale moonlight?
to risk a life away just to drift in to the night,
to revel and bask in a demon's glow,
to try and let your affection for show,
to meet the devil's gaze in empty silent stare,
to teach him how to smile and love him beyond compare?
have you ever touched the reaper amidst the chaos that he caused?
to walk along side this empty soul and not count the cost,
to go high and low for whom who's joy is sorrow,
to give him warm embraces and seek him for tomorrow,
to walk him hand in hand and promise him forever,
to teach him how to smile and love him beyond compare?
have you aver kissed the jackal by his cemetery gates?
to sit and keep him warm while he silently awaits,
to wrap your arm around him as he dances on the graves,
to openly admire him as his lantern he does waves,
to let this creature take you to only he knows where,
to teach him how to smile and love him beyond compare?
