Strasbourg and an epidemic
1518, mid July
From the dance floor to the ground
All began this way
Tell me now, Troffea, what are you trying to do?
I can't stop and I'm in love with you
Twirls from your hands, mesmerize my head
You own me with just a snap of your fingers
Jump a little, spin a little, like the bug buzz of a beetle
In my head obsessions scream their echoes
Do it again, till you bend, don't pretend to understand
A mind abuse and for sure the fate is signed for you
Feel the crawling vibes
Of your fear
No more saints to pray
That's our destiny
We must surrender
Let's dig our graves
We must remember
How wonderful it was to dance
Near the gates of afterlife
And I suppose I could have died
After a simple happy life
Now I'm a sinner in this plague
Feel the rhythm of your bones
While they pulverise
Damned musicians play your song
For a ruin that can't be denied
Gates are opening
They are leading us
To an eternal dance
I'm following the notes
They're written in my head
While my thoughts fade
On the whys that brought us all there
And so
I surrender to this curse
Can't explain
This carnage
So goodbye 'cause
That's our destiny
We must surrender
Let's dig our graves
We must remember
How wonderful it was to dance
Near the gates of afterlife
And I suppose I could have died
After a simple happy life
Now I'm a sinner in this plague
Tell me now, Troffea, what did you try to do
While I die, I'm still in love with you
I can't hear no more songs
Just a creepy lullaby coming from my flesh and bones
Then I exhale
My last sin
Time to dance in peace
Dance in peace carved on our tombstones
And the last thing in my head was
I hope, in hell, there's no sound
Oh, my stationary ground
