Dancin' In The Ruins
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tomorrow soon turns into yesterday
Everything we see just fades away
There's sky and sand where mountains used to be
Time drops by a second to eternity
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust
Turn and turn and turn we must!
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
There's laughter where I used to see your tears
It's all done with mirrors, have no fears
There's nothing pure or sacred in our time
The nights we spent together are no crime
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust
Turn and turn and turn we must!
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Like marble statues always flowing lay
From castles built in silence, let us play
Even though our skulls rot in our flesh
We can build a laser, tear the mesh
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust
Turn and turn and turn we must
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
