A Dance to Half Death Lyrics

i saw what I wanted to see
the first time that I looked
and you spoke to
me
I swear you were angry
but I disagreed with the plan you had in mind
when
you said you believed it was peace for our time
as Burke you stood, thinking
only what you had to gain
an out and out mistake, when you feel sympathy
pains
I loved her too much to understand that way
when you just sought to
protect her
but my love will release her, either way

me emotion strung out,
on the front line
I do a dance to half death and save our lives
my love
potion will claw its way to you
I am going to life, to love, to light with
you

so I write down the words that I want to say
and throw to the reptiles
as if they care
is it love you feel or are you just afraid
to change a
circumstance that suited you until today
you paid the danegeld, but you
won't get rid of me
I know you game, and you know I'm angry
and I say peace
comes first, I say peace comes first this time
but you do a dance to half
death and save our lives

will you make the mistake again for me for me
and
I am sorry for pushing to bring your love to me
if any part of her is hurt in
this affray
send an angel down to take my love away

but you and I know
there's a cost to every plan
but my heart beats on and the place, the place we
stand
is only littered with the dust and smoke and letters saying
please can
you help me, your mistake has made a misery of me
I want to smile at the
camera, your lips, your eyes, your sweet smile
and all the while, all the
while
i am bound to forget you

I watch you walk down the corridor
your
finger trails along the wall
and all I can think of is why
I won't regret
you

I want to smile at the camera, your lips, your eyes, your sweet smile

and all the while, all the while
i am bound to forget you

I watch you
walk down the corridor
your finger trails along the wall
and all I can think
of is why
I won't regret you
