about

For Nada, Queen in her own right.

lyrics

Sweet was the beat of the heart he held out for me
Blood ruby deep as the first wound of life
Into the wilderness endless I followed
And so he would have me, the dream-master's wife

Smoldering slowly the stars that entranced me
My tongue learned the feel of the fruit that we shared
And danger stole off while desire was feasting
Then found us at dawn in the sun's jealous glare

To stay was to die - but to leave was my doom
So the ice held me down - while the fire consumed

Ten thousand years in a cage
For refusing that poisonous spell
Enough of pleading and rage
Now I'll stand on my feet and I'll dance out of hell

My choice is my own and my pleasure my own
My pride and my joy and my treasure my own
Tell the demon who rose
Tell the angel who fell
But my own voice will lead as I dance out of hell

No man may steal what I carry inside me
No nightmare will drag me through stones of the past
There is no going home, there is no going back
Though I walk in the shards of my palace of glass

There is only the road I will make for myself
So if I am remade it is by my own hand
The wind of the storm I have danced into singing
Will banish the shadow along with the sand

No hunger can break me - no captor can take me
No shackles will bind me - they shatter behind me

Ten thousand years I survived
My strength and my spite served me well
My hatred kept me alive
But now light as a feather I’ll dance out of hell

For my choice is my own and my pleasure my own
My pride and my joy and my treasure my own
Tell the demon who rose
Tell the angel who fell
But my own voice will lead as I dance out of hell
As I dance out of hell
As I dance out of hell
As I dance, as I dance,
Dance out of hell
