The tragic ballerina was a little too raw
Fallen from grace with shock and awe
Hung out to dry by the puppet master
Who made her dance faster and faster
Dance, little sister, dance all night long
There on your pedestal is where you belong
The monsters outside are no worse
Than those in your soul so perverse
If you believed just a little stronger
But, then again I could be all the wronger
To believe that strings might be broken
By true words of love cherished and spoken
Dance, little sister, dance through the night
There in the pale of the blood moon’s light
