Oh I was sold to the devil himself, the older days were lying
I stood and tried to better myself, they kicked me out for trying
Lost, deprived and unemployed, oh how should I maintain?
My life was at the biggest risk, unable to sustain
"If you won't give then I shall take" my thoughts were safe inside
I took my own but they found me and so I ran to hide
The trees stood still, gave me their cloak, the chase was now the search
And so they did, and I sought mine and found after I heard
"The floodgates will open and the sky will crack
Run for the next part and don't look back
Do you know what it's like to dance with an outlaw?
Feast on the magic 'till all is black"
The drums, the drinks, the dreamy dance, the fires burned away
Heaven for those bound to go to hell, I asked if I could stay
Oh after those distrusting eyes, my wishes did come true
But truth was what I thought I missed 'till I laid eyes on you
Fires burned, your eyes were the coal, the fire gave your scars
But still that spark that drew me near, you've always been too far
I danced with you, we danced all night, we shared in breath and sweat
And I will never quite forget what you always said
"The floodgates will open and the sky will crack
Run for the next part and don't look back
Do you know what it's like to dance with an outlaw?
Feast on the magic 'till all is black"
My past did hit me like a brick when they came from the trees
"Arrest that man and kill the rest!" they had us on our knees
My home was quick to turn on me, they blamed me for the mess
And as I looked in my lover's eyes a tear fell on her dress
She looked away and turned around, my face she could not bear
I saw the sadness in her heart but still she left me there
The soldiers grabbed me by my arms and bound my hands and feet
They dragged me into prison walls and now I face the heat
I hear the drums, I see the crowd, my family is gone
The rope is tied around my neck, my life can not go on
I close my eyes, I shut my ears, I've done everyone wrong
And as I feel the wood give way I'm singing my love's song
"The floodgates will open and the sky will crack
Run for the next part and don't look back
Do you know what it's like to dance with an outlaw?
Feast on the magic 'till the...
Floodgates will open and the sky will crack
Run for the next part and don't look back
Do you know what it's like to dance with an outlaw?
Feast on the magic 'till all is black"
