letra de crucifixion - david massengill

[verse 1]
and the night comes again to the circle-studded sky
the stars settle slowly, in loneliness they lie
’til the universe explodes as a falling star is raised
the planets are paralyzed, the mountains are amazed
but they all glow brighter from the brilliance of the blaze
with the speed of insanity, then he dies

[verse 2]
in the green fields of turning, a baby is born
his cries crease the wind and mingle with thе morn
an assault upon the order, the changing of thе guard
chosen for a challenge that is hopelessly hard
and the only single sign is the sighing of the stars
but to the silence of distance they’re sworn

[chorus]
so dance dance dance
teach us to be true
come dance dance dance
’cause we love you

[verse 3]
images of innocence charge him to go on
but the decadence of history is looking for a p-wn
to a nightmare of knowledge he opens up the gate
a blinding revelation is laid upon his plate
that beneath the greatest love there’s a hurricane of hate
and god help the critic of the dawn
[verse 4]
so he stands on the sea and he shouts to the shore
but the louder that he screams, the longer he’s ignored
for the wine of oblivion is drunk to the dregs
and the merchants of the masses almost have to be begged
’til the giant is aware that someone’s pulling at his leg
and someone is tapping at the door

[chorus]
so dance dance dance
teach us to be true
come dance dance dance
’cause we love you

[verse 5]
then his message gathers meaning, and it spreads across the land
the rewarding of the fame is the following of the man
but ignorance is everywhere, and people have their way
and success is an enemy to the losers of the day
in the shadows of the churches, who knows what they pray?
and blood is the language of the band

[verse 6]
the spanish bulls are beaten, the crowd is soon beguiled
the matador is beautiful, a symphony of style
excitement is ecstatic, passion places bets
gracefully he bows to the ovations that he gets
but the hands that are applauding are slippery with sweat
and saliva is falling from their smiles
[chorus]
so dance dance dance
teach us to be true
come dance dance dance
’cause we love you

[verse 7]
then the overflow of life is crushed into a liar
the gentle soul is ripped apart and tossed into the fire
first a smile of rejection at the nearness of the night
truth becomes a tragedy, limping from the light
the heavens are horrified, they stagger from the sight
and the cross is trembling with desire

[verse 8]
they say they can’t believe it, “it’s a sacrilegious shame
now who would want to hurt such a hero of the game?
but you know, i predicted it, i knew he had to fall
how did it happen? i hope his suffering was small
tell me every detail, i’ve got to know it all
and do you have a picture of the pain?”

[chorus]
so dance dance dance
teach us to be true
come dance dance dance
’cause we love you
[verse 9]
time takes her toll and the memory fades
but his glory is growing in the magic that he made
reality is ruined, there’s nothing more to fear
the drama is distorted into what they want to hear
swimming in the sorrow in the twisting of a tear
as they wait for the new thrill parade

[verse 10]
the eyes of the rebel have been branded by the blind
to the safety of sterility the threat has been refined
the child was created, to the slaughterhouse he’s led
so good to be alive when the eulogies are read
the climax of emotion, the worship of the dead
as the cycle of sacrifice unwinds

[chorus]
so dance dance dance
teach us to be true
come dance dance dance
’cause we love you

[verse 11]
and the night comes again to the circle-studded sky
the stars settle slowly, in loneliness they lie
’til the universe explodes as a falling star is raised
the planets are paralyzed, the mountains are amazed
but they all glow brighter from the brilliance of the blaze
with the speed of insanity, then he dies
