lyrics

Catch catch the match that strike the chord
The dark won't spark for long
Eyes wide and cracking spine
Synapses firing a song
Reveal what's congealed in the veins that strain with every stuttered cry
Create from sinless fate and try not to look so surprised

Mic in hand
Take a stand
Scream a meaning tonight

Stoke the flame
Make a name
Get a fist in the fight

Light cigarettes and take your bets
write it's wrong when it's right.

And make them dance baby dance
Revel in the rapture of a chance
To live again

Dance baby dance
to clapped chapped hand that clamor in the stands

Beat beat your stripped and tattered feet
With sound to shake the ground
The flash from match to ash
The sight and smell of smoke astound
Unveil whats been nailed to the heart of every killer that you've crossed
Take from what you can't remake and dear don't you dare mind the cost

Mic in hand
Take a stand
Scream a meaning tonight

Stoke the flame
Make a name
Get a fist in the fight

Light cigarettes and take your bets
write it's wrong when it's right.

And make them dance baby dance
Revel in the rapture of a chance
To live again

Dance baby dance
to clapped chapped hand that clamor in the stands

Dance until your feet can't hit the floor
Dance just like you've never danced before
Dance until they can't forget you
Under those black lights make them regret you now

And make them dance baby dance
Revel in the rapture of a chance
To live again

Dance baby dance
to clapped chapped hand that clamor in the stands
