The Victory Dance

She stares ahead in silence againher eyes tell me of struggles, loss and paina mask to hide a world of sorrowwhere hollow, painted smiles remainthe flesh whispers its lies to meand walks me to the edge, so far to fallI'll never have another chance if there's a chance at allIf I fail this time...Seven scares turned to ashesfaces of madness melt into victorytrial by fire, my burdenburned in refining flames of purityseven steps into darknessmortal and crownlesseternal victoryaltar flames rising, burning higherand straight through the fireI'm dancing the victory danceshe takes the communion cup unholyborn and raised a slave to rules of manwill my eyes reflect youwhen she searches them again?I am not a godI release this burden unto youSeven scares turned to ashesfaces of madness melt into victorytrial by fire, my burdenburned in refining flames of purityseven steps into darknessmortal and crownlesseternal victoryaltar flames rising, burning higherand straight through the fireI'm dancing the victory dance
