Meeting you with a view to a kill Face to face in secret places, feel the chill Nightfall covers me, but you know the plans I'm making Still overseas, could it be the whole Earth opening wide A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside A week is why, until we Dance into the fire That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire To fatal sounds of broken dreams Dance into the fire That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire The choice for you is the view to a kill Between the shades assassination standing still Earth's crystal tears, the fall of snowflakes on your body First time in years to drench your skin in lover's rosy stain A chance to find the phoenix for the flame A chance to die, but can we Dance into the fire That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire To fatal sounds of broken dreams Dance into the fire That fatal kiss is all we need Dance into the fire When all we see is the view to a kill
