you and your partner take the first step,
to the great waltz that you must accept,
around and around the clashing of steel,
the rest of the world you no longer feel,
but do not forget,
this dance, has a moment of rend,
a crimson crescendo will soon be its end,
so please remember to be on queue,
or it will be the end of you,
yes, you may be exhausted and all out of breath,
but there's no stopping the Dance of Death
