Florentine Cabaret

Today, my show'll be different.
I'll wear a tragic mask,
I'll go downtown to sing a hymn
To my decease.
And the people on the street,
Oh, they will adore it!
And they will dance, all day long,
Around my corpse.
For these are the days
Of our greatest faults.
These are the faults
Of our finest hour.
And these are the words
I was looking for.
These are the words
I was trying to deny.
Today, my show'll be different.
I'll wear a suit and tie,
I'll go downtown to play De Sade
Among the crowd.
And I'll be fabulous!
I'll be somebody else at last.
And I will dance, all day long,
Among the dead.
For these are the days
Of our greatest faults.
These are the faults
Of our finest hour.
And these are the words
I was looking for.
These are the words
I was trying to deny.

Danse Macabre

So the ancient lady went into the vault.
She looked hard at all the poor souls there,
And after a thoughtful pause said:
“Oh, when will you comprehend
That I am still alive?”
The yellow moon was high,
Its glitter spread out on the burial ground,
And all was silence until a voice resounded:
“The time has come for you to hear
The rhythm of my heart!”
“Oh, mistress, lead us to your ball
For we all need your melody.
Oh, mistress, lead us to your ball
For we all need to dance”.
A line of souls flowed from the iron gates.
They crossed the bridge and crossed the plain.
Then climbed on the deep blue hill,
“Where the Moon is nearer, brighter, clearer
And where life rejoices!”
“Oh, mistress, lead us to your ball
For we all need your melody.
Oh, mistress, lead us to your ball
For we all need to
Stomp the ground, again, tonight.
This time our time won’t go in vain”.
So she said:
“Dance, dance, dance, dance
In this moonlit night!
Dance, dance, dance
Until the Earth collapses
And all the stars fall from the sky.

Incantations

Can you remember?
We were magicians, my friend,
In a dimension
We could not comprehend.
We were so evil,
That our lives seemed
Exemplary to the others
Who could not understand.
Oh, tonight there's a yellow moon.
It makes me feel like I could do
Anything in this world.
And I would give it to you
If you were here.
But you're not...
There's only the incantation
You left behind,
And me,
Alone.
Can you remember?

In a dimension
They could not understand.
Oh, tonight there's a yellow moon.
It makes me feel like I could do
Anything in this world.
And I would give it to you
If you were here.
But you're not...
There's only the incantation
You left behind,
And me,
Alone.

Now sleep, baby girl,
Now sleep for us
For your sleep will be our vitality.
And dream, baby, dream,
Dream for us
For all your dreams will be our memories.
Oh, it's a wonderful world!
And we’ll remind you
The reason why.
But it's a difficult world,
So please do not forget
That there's a star above
For you,
That shimmers
For you.
And even when you're old,
It will keep
Our golden secrets
For you.
So sleep, baby girl,
So sleep for us
For your sleep will be our vitality.
And dream, baby, dream,
Dream for us
For all your dreams will be our memories.
Oh, it's a wonderful world!
And we’ll remind you
The reason why.
But it's a difficult world,
So please do not forget
That there's a star above
For you,
That shimmers
For you.
And even when you're old,
It will keep
Our golden secrets
For you.
