Dance of the Dead

It's been so long Since I saw the light I heard that song Once, when I was a child The melody of the martyrs You said. The dance of the dead. Now, I've been so far away The light has scarcely hit my eyes But I heard your voice today And I'm waiting For the heart in me to die Then I will dance eternity in your arms I will sing your name to the world In wonder I will succomb to your childlike charms You are my God And today, I am your child In the distance I see Stars lighting the dark Pointing the way to the King Your face captivates my mind (beat beat) My heart picks up the pace Your knocking, I'm coming Please, dont leave me to myself. I brought my brokenness And laid it at your feet Now I stand Beautiful In the midst of a broken world My heart is the drum But you are the beat You are the music playing over in my head And I am always yours Dancing the dance of the dead.
