Lyrics
Intro:
Through the shadowed streets,
the moonlight bends like a thought
Her silhouette in the fog ascends.
A spectral waltz, a ghostly dance
she twists the air, she falls
Her haunting whispers bind me,
Tie me down, make me numb.
(a phantom of a ballerina)
(dancing around an empty grave)
Pre-Chorus:
Her eyes, like mirrors to eternity,
Caught in the tangle of her tragedy.
Chorus:
Phantom pirouette spins the night,
A ghostly grace in pale moonlight.
Dancing on the edge of my despair,
She pulls me closer, I can't retreat now.
Verse 1:
Once alive, her fame ignited skies,
Now a ghost who pirouettes and cries.
Her satin ribbons tangle my fate,
Her sorrow grips me, it's far too late.
Pre-Chorus:
Each step she takes, the earth beneath us quakes,
Bound by her rhythm, the soul it breaks.
Chorus:
Phantom pirouette spins the night,
A ghostly grace in pale moonlight.
Dancing on the edge of my despair,
She pulls me closer, I can't retreat now.
Bridge:
The echoes scream of what’s been lost,
A life consumed, the ultimate cost.
She reaches out, her touch like frost,
And I'm enslaved, my heart covered in frost
(Oh, my ballerina, I am so lost).
(so lost, so lost, I am the ghost)
Instrumental Break: A heavy guitar riff soaring into an eerie symphonic bridge.
Final Chorus:
Phantom pirouette spins the night,
A ghostly grace in pale moonlight.
Dancing on the edge of my despair,
She pulls me closer, I can't retreat now.
Outro:
Fade into silence,
her spirit retreats,
Yet her haunting melody
forever repeats.
(Oh, my ballerina, I am so lost).
(so lost, so lost, I am the ghost)
(Am I the ghost, lost, so lost)
(I am lost, you are lost)
A phantom, a ghost
You and me…
End
