The Dead Princess (M.Ravel - Pavane for a Dead Princess)

The Dead Princess | M. Ravel / C. Norby

Dance - 'til death you'll dance like a haunted swan 
Red - your shoes are red like the roses you forget 
When the limelight disappears 
You're bound to 

Dance - 'til death you'll dance like a long-lost lamb 
Blue - your lips are blue like the icy heartless truth 
Bursted dreams on broken glass 
Gone in a flash 

Once the sky was wide 
Pink as princess pride 
Once the wind was smooth 
Blowing only youth 
Your heart became black as the sea 
But yet so unfree - So unfree 

Dance - 'til death you'll dance like a haunted swan 
Red - your shoes are red like the drops of blood you shed 
When your eyes had no more tears 
You're bound to 

Dance - Last step you dance lost in solitude 
Thin - so paper thin is the space between your skin 
And your thousand pounding veins 
Look you became - Some hollow name - 
Face in a frame
