In the dark
I look around me
See the fire burning low
And the smoke
Rises up around me
Just to kiss the stars above
Looks like hope
Burns like love
This is my deliverance
Kissing hands of foreign princes
Shoot an arrow to the sky
If it comes down
I'm done to die
Woah
This is the dance
Woah
My sweet romance
Now the firelight is fading
And the hand before my face
Is darker than the hand of grace
And the smoke and ash around me
Match the odor of the grave
But I'm not afraid
'Cause I know what comes
Out of this place
Oh
This is my deliverance
Kissing hands of foreign princes
Shoot an arrow to the sky
If it comes down
I'm done to die
Woah
This is the dance
Woah
My sweet romance
All my life I closed my eyes
And held my ears
Screaming to the night
You're not so tough
Stay on your side
I don't listen
To your stories
I won't hear it
But I'm starting to
'Cause maybe it's the truth
Still
This is my deliverance
Kissing hands of foreign princes
Shoot an arrow to the sky
If it comes down
I'm done to die
Woah
This is the dance
Woah
My sweet romance
