A Cherub's Last Dance

I took your heart to let you see What my soul use to be The selfless kind without a trace Of remorse or distaste Can I wither where I was? Taking nothing leaving cause I was needed for the task Of handling souls from the past Can you dance the Cherub’s Swing? Leaving behind everything Never feeling the warmth of hands After the Cherub’s Last Dance Was it wrong for the love To be done before it sung? Am I right To take flight Can I even pass the night? Too much judgment on our part Ripping everyone apart Keeping tight a faithless system Holding on when she kissed him Can we dance the Cherub’s swing? Celebrating like we’re kings Rejoicing till we’ve had enough Hoping to be the next seraphs Sworn to guard the smallest forest The tree of life is still upon us Tempting fate I let them pass Knowing life will never last Pass eternities we see There’s only us that forever be Am I wrong to let them through Can I see what will be you?
