From the recording The Writer and the Written
Lyrics
I hope you've prepared everything that you need
The time is coming for you to be brought down to your knees
I was safely forgotten, nothing more than a memory
But skeletons in your closet don't vanish so simply
Cause you and I are dancing in time
To a beat no one else can hear
I am a creature of darkness and light
With followers that you fear
This is a dance for the ages
Let me see some spectators
It's time to clear the dance floor
No need for introductions
We don't need your responses
You're begging me for more more more
The anger in their eyes
Tells me we'll have to fight
And as our voices rise
I lift my hands up toward the sky
Cause you and I are dancing in time
To a beat no one else can hear
I am a creature of darkness and light
With followers that you fear
The world must seem so slow as you dance with me
It all must seem so slow
Watch it all fade away as you dance with me
Watch the world fade away
All your memories return as you dance with me
I see it in your eyes
Yeah your face fills with pain as you dance with me
As you remember your lies
So count your steps
And take your time
Us dancing here
It could cost us our lives
With lines and words
Our battle is made
We go to war
With our songs at our waists
Cause you and I are dancing in time
To a beat no one else can hear
I am a creature of darkness and light
With followers that you fear
We have both become kings in our own rights
Bearing the weight of the world
I've been sent to bring judgment from on high
I'll give you the end you deserve
Cause you and I are dancing in time
You and I are dancing in time
You and I are dancing in time
You and I are dancing in time
