Waltz of the Demon

Silence, so strange, but yet familiar

Illusions abducting me

Delusions haunting me

Whispers

Inside my very mind

Sweet subduction is taking on the guide

Drifting on and away

Into the abyss of my very soul

I'm losing control

Taking a ride into the unknown

Fantasies twisting my mind

Wonders to see and horrors to find

The gates are open wide

Inviting me, exciting me

Drain me with joy and despair

The demon awakes, reality brakes*

Drawing me into the lair

Here in my mind there's so much to find

Shadow and night are merging tonight

[Prebridge:]

Riding high

On wings of illusion up to the sky

Abducted into a dream

Where no one will hear my scream

[Bridge:]

Fire and ice

Deluded or wise

Good or bad

Sane or mad

[Chorus:]

Pain and pleasure is burning me up

Making me lose control

Demons are dancing inside of my mind

Reaching out for my soul

Restless drifter between the worlds

A merry-go-round in my head

Gifted, possessed, cursed or blessed?

Passing away into dread

Misleading me, enchanting me

Leaving the riddles behind

Conjuring up visions and dreams

Pleading to find peace of mind

Unlock the gate

My way to escape

Give me the key

I want to be free

[Prebridge:]

Riding high

On wings of illusion up to the sky

Abducted into a dream

Where no one will hear my scream

[Bridge:]

Fire and ice

Deluded or wise

Good or bad

Sane or mad

[Chorus:]

Pain and pleasure is burning me up

Making me lose control

Demons are dancing inside of my mind

Reaching out for my soul

[Prebridge:]

Riding high

On wings of illusion up to the sky

Abducted into a dream

Where no one will hear my scream

[Bridge:]

Fire and ice

Deluded or wise

Good or bad

Sane or mad

[Chorus:]

Pain and pleasure is burning me up

Making me lose control

Demons are dancing inside of my mind

Reaching out for my soul
