Dance With the Devil In the Moonlight

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Have you seen the way the light shines on him?
Or the way he looks so carefree
With a smile that puts the sun to shame
How he holds out a gloved hand
And the confidence in him sparks like flames
How he is so sure of himself 
Even when the light begins to dim.
Dancing with him in the moonlight,
His eyes do not appear as they would in broad day
His eyes become lighter
And his smile brighter
And for a moment, you forget he's the devil
Because he almost seems human
And it's more magical
Than you could ever imagine
