She Danced In the Moonlight

She had a beauty the world never saw
She was in tune with a song of her own
She had a world that ran without laws
And sticks and stones never broke her bones

Because even as crimson tore into flames,
And even as passion was drowned in the night;
Her body twirled with the grace of seraphs
As she danced in the moonlight

Yes, she danced in the moonlight

She found majesty in the eye of the storm
And she loved the daisy more than the rose
She still said monarch when they said worm
And she even smiled when she suffered the blows

Because even as her feet threaded on thorns,
And her diamond eyes lost all their bright;
And her flowers withered in the scorching sun
Yet she danced in the moonlight

Yes, she danced in the moonlight

Yes, she danced in the moonlight,
Her beauty accentuated by a flick of the whips;
Still, she danced in the moonlight
As a trickle of red dropped down from her lips;

She danced in the moonlight,
A song in her ore,
A song in the gore

And she danced in the moonlight,
Until she danced no more

And she danced in the moonlight,
Until she danced no more

And so when the moonlight faded,
She could dance no more…
