Oh, my dear, come dance with me
And please follow my lead
You know that I am poison
You’ll drink and love the deed

I love you so, ma cherie
Although we met as foes
I am drowning in your eyes
You told me that it shows

You still resist my beauty
You taunt me with your light
Won’t you succumb, my darling?
I tire of this fight

Come close, and let me kiss you
Don’t taunt me any more
This same old game, my sweet one
What do you play it for?

Oh, dear heart, let’s fight no more
Forsake your vows of Light
Take me down into your heart
I’ll drink your life this night

Fly down into my darkness
My love is beyond death
Just let me drink your beauty
Devour your last breath
Abandon me, you hell-cat
Just try it if you dare!
Go on, just try to kill me
We’ve seen how well you fare

You’ll never give in, will you?
You’ll not admit defeat
Innocently seduce me
With living, pulsing heat

Dance with me, my one last love
I will need nothing more
Let me kiss your tender mouth
And be your paramour

You always knew what I was
Though still I don’t know you
I must hold you, make you mine
Listen! That is our cue

If all the world’s a stage, dear
You’ll be my Columbine
I’ll be your Harlequin, dear
In fear you’ll not be mine

If you give up, beloved
Surrender to my charms
Will I still want the changed thing
That lies cold in my arms?
If that brave heart stops beating
The goal is redefined
But would you, could you ever
Release it in your mind?

I can think no longer, love
Our future rests with chance
All I ask you now, mon coeur
Is for this doomed romance

If only for the moment
We’ll hold each other near
We will forget the future
Let music soothe our fear

Oh, my love, come dance with me
Come dance with me, cherie
This same old dance, my lover
And let’s pretend we’re free
