LYRICS

The fire in her eyes sending chills through his spine. She loves to tease and play games with his mind. The want in his soul is eternally fed. The passion that hungers is easily led.

Dance in time with me; move in a rhyme; dance in time with the rhythm sublime, frozen in time.

The hunter has wounded and now she must kill. This is the part that provides her thrill. This pain in his heart will evermore stay as she casts him aside for a new game to play.

Dance in time with me; move in a rhyme; dance in time with the rhythm sublime, frozen in time.

The fire in his eyes sending chills through her spine. He loves to tease and play games with her mind. The want in her soul is eternally fed. The passion that hungers is easily led.

Dance in time with me; move in a rhyme; dance in time with the rhythm sublime, frozen in time.

The overall form of this up-tempo work is AABA with an intro and coda; the A section consists of two parts while the B section has one part that is repeated once. The tonal center of the intro and the coda are the centered on subdominant suspended chordal textures; these two parts are identical.

The lyrics express the games of seduction. The rhythm of life is the sublime facet of existence that inspires the dance. The third verse expresses the story of the man who was the victim in the first verse of the piece. The apprentice has become the master.
