We came to dance
Making moves from a passion play
The ties that bind us just slip away

We came to dance
The piper calls out a different rhyme
He cracks the whip and we step in time

Standing as the parade goes passing by
I hear a voice around me cry
Like the sound of distant drums
Rejected and alone, a heart without a home

And someone said

We came to dance
Making moves from a passion play
The ties that bind us just slip away

We came to dance
The piper calls out a different rhyme
He cracks the whip and we step in time
We came to dance

Waiting as the panic grips my hand
Hearing prose from high command
Like a million times before, no dignity or grace
It's the prize and not the race

And someone said

We came to dance
Making moves from a passion play
The ties that bind us just slip away

We came to dance
The piper calls out a different rhyme
He cracks the whip and we step in time
We came to dance

We came to dance
Making moves from a passion play
The ties that bind us just slip away

We came to dance
Making moves from a passion play
The ties that bind us just slip away

We came to dance
The piper calls out a different rhyme
He cracks the whip and we step in time

We came to dance
Making moves from a passion play
The ties that bind us just slip away

We came to dance
The piper calls out a different rhyme
He cracks the whip and we step in time

We came to dance
Making moves from a passion play
The ties that bind us just slip away

We came to dance
The piper calls out a different rhyme
He cracks the whip and we step in time

We came to dance
Making moves from a passion play
