lyrics

Witness (1)
So did I agree to this?
"yes"
What word, what gesture , what prayer
Betrayed my willingness to be broken?
"it's only Dancing…"

I summon the Elements with my flesh
When I Dance
My arms describe the Sky

Rising
Vain are those tears, vain and fruitless all
The song too brief for sorrow
In this wasted land, oh it's a wild hand that deals the cards
And they all could change tomorrow….

Coming up, feel it rising
Coming out of the darkness
Rising like fire in the night
Oh yeah, Pythia rising
Coming out of the ashes burning
Like an eagle to the light

Slowly as illusion rolls away
All the twisting dreams of yesterday
Are calmed here in the morning
On the wings of new birds heaven bound
No stain, no shadow to be found
New horizons calling

Wisdom leads us here
In spite of fate and in spite of fear
And ever tear comes back again like diamonds
A crystal crown to wear in Raven's hair
Colours flying now

Witness (2)
" she is asleep…dreaming"… "yes"…
"she thinks she is broken" ….." no"…
"This is the Dancing" …… "yes" ....
