Suddenly I feel pain
the dance is not over
Death looks at me in shock
it's grip lets go.
Was I dead?
or was it just the drugs?
I don't care
I turn and look away.
I still hear the music
and I am still dancing
I see my loved ones clearer now.
Happy faces
Glad that I have returned.
Something is wrong
I'm still dancing with death
the corpses are still here
the lights are still bright
I should be returning home.
I hear voices through the music
they are calling my name
The voices are shouting
But only MY name do I understand.
The corpses put hands over my ears
they don't want me to hear
they know if I understand more
I will dance with them no longer.
I recognize a loved one
Through a cloudy haze I see tears
They smile at me
I hear them tell me they love me
and I understand.
More faces become clearer
the voices are not shouting now
they calm me and all my fears
I am returning home.
A hand rests on my shoulder
I breath easy and strong
I am home
I have escaped death!
