Rhythm & The Beast
Music: H.Burström, E.Grönlund, O.Kling, S.Mårtensson
Lyrics: S. Mårtensson
Bright sunday night lights
to keep darkness out
Let the system overwrite
and put trust where there was doubt
A whirling wind of notes
from Umeå to Des Moines
Sung by a million throats
Inviting all to join
We dance a waltz with the devil
A 3/4 imperfection
Sweat flooding down on each and everyone in section C
(see) your dreams unfold
A close to perfect mirage
They're paid,
your own entourage
There can be no - return
When you're out they'll make sure that you burn
There's a rise, there's a fall
And time will come for us all
That's when you'll hear them say:
"We always loved you least"
Every tune, every chord
and world of sound that's explored
will tell the story of
the Rhythm and The Beast
You waltz into the fire
an Eden set to flame
your tears fall, he smile
Fading dreams of fame
Regret and anger grows
as Rhythm burns away
You're naked and exposed
to the world - betrayed
And thus you're left alone
The Devil, out of sight
Last wish: dethrone him
gone is light
Meanwhile back on stage
the demon rises again
new star, same look and age
"Come dance with me, my friend"
There can be no - return
When you're out they'll make sure that you burn
There's a rise, there's a fall
And time will come for us all
That's when you'll hear them say:
"We always loved you least"
Every tune, every chord
and world of sound that's explored
will tell the story of
the Rhythm and The Beast
