Devil of Stories: The Dance of Moxie and Mathias I Lyrics by Mary Crowell

Acolytes of the Machine and Other Gaming Stories

2012

[Verse]
I'm going dancing with the Devil of Stories
I've got a date with my destiny
It may be tragic, but it never seems boring
Brings out the worst and the best in me
[Verse]
This is a story for the darkest ambition
It is a tale of vanity
Two foolish lovers, and some hasty decisions
A little sex, and insanity
[Chorus]
Take a look inside his journal;
Ballads, odes, and epigrams
Got me hooked. I'm his eternal –
Elegy an' a slaughtered lamb
[Verse]
He's been a-schemin'; he's a demon of reason
He's misery, and I'm his biggest fan
I'll keep on singing to the tunes that seem pleasing
Looks like I'll dance though, at his command
[Verse]
I've read the writing, and resisting is futile
I'm going down in history
We've hit the deadline, and the editing's brutal
Well, win or lose, it's his victory
[Chorus]
Take a look inside his journal;
Ballads, odes, and epigrams
Got me hooked. I'm his eternal –
Elegy an' a slaughtered lamb
[Verse]
I'm only crying 'cause the story is ending
The world I've known will be torn apart
He's smiling somewhere as reality's bending
The devil's safe from a broken heart
[Verse/Outro]
I'm going dancing with the Devil of Stories
I've got a date with my destiny
It may be tragic, but it never seems boring
Brings out the worst and the best in me
Brings out the worst and the best in me
Brings out the worst and the best in me
