Ethereal Waltz Lyrics

[Opening chorus]
Lights dance upon the stage from a dream
Marionette-like in form, they take their places
Spin, dance, enthralled in melody
Eternally bound in soulless rapture

[Verse]
Beyond the veil of corporeal flesh
As velvet dark washes over the light
A masquerade of unknown origin
Visions of ethereal waltz begin

[Cirkus]
Lifeless fluidity in motion
Twirling figures in trance, devotion
Like a puppet strung from the shadow
Bob and sway without emotion
Faces blurring away
Featureless their decay
Barren eyes turned to gray
Endless procession

[Chorus]
Lights dance upon the stage from a dream
Marionette-like in form, they take their places
Spin, dance, enthralled in melody
Eternally bound in soulless rapture
Pale glowing march of forgotten gleam
Cavorting, flowing, a haunt of presence graceful
Departed souls in formation
Ethereal waltz in eternity’s repose

[Clean part]

Hypnotic grace, enchanting beauty
Glimpses of silken mystique through the shade
Voices unknown, so warm, enticing
Sound like a symphony, come hither

[Chorus]
(alt)Ethereal waltz in eternity as

[Ending]
Drawn into the pageant,
Thine memories washed away,
Stripped of dismay,
Time has no meaning,
One more for the promenade.
(alt)This puppet’s strings carry it away.
