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?
