The Ballroom Nocturne

An altering life
a differing hell
Where the dancefloor is burning
Where the guests are unwell

Where the dancer's eyes burn
seared to the core
But not a single sound echoes
From on the dancefloor

Far from our world
another does burn
The slow scorching dance
The ballroom nocturne
