... A Dance of Shadows - White Willow

I have seen a dance of shadows

darker than the darkest night

touched by madness i have swirled

the pirouette of death

wakened by a black rose blooming

in the frozen fields of sleep

i have known such pain and pleasure

ecstasy and fear

i have seen a strange procession

mourners of the ice-kissed soul

i have known and i have suffered

at the hands of truth
