Such a Foolish Dream

The day before never again
If the devil has his dance
All hopes are severed
If no dreams remained
But if he endures
We are cast into the pit
But if we do too, we twist
In the hope of a circumstance
That never comes through
The balance of hopes
And desperate wishes
That never come true
What does it matter
Why do we try
Staring the devil
Straight in the eye
We cannot trust
Circumstance
All the time and effort
Everything is shattered
For a falsehood
For a lost view
Of nothing real
Or real enough it matters
Any way we must dance
Dance if you wish
Move if you must
Trapped in a moment
Between divinity and lust
And losing our soul
To the temptations
Of the final dance
