about

Music: Phil Hodges
Lyrics: Michael Minkoff

lyrics

Bloodstain on the horizon,
morning pink in the sky.
Light, rise from your coffin,
new as you’ve ever been.
You live to live again,
constant but free, as I long to be.
I’ll take you in, under my skin,

for I have been
waltzing with Woland tonight.
He gave me a fright.
I feel the chill even still.
He told me I’d lost the fight.
Part of me died tonight.
I’m undone.
Out of time.
Here he comes now.

I’m nothing, nothing but vapor—
driftwood gathered for burning.
But what will come after?
I will be raised again.
Death, you’ll kill naught but sin.

Then Death turned around
and looked down at me.
He lifted his cloak and then,
he spoke:

“I too have been
waltzing with Woland tonight.
He gave me a fright.
I feel the chill even still.
He told me we’d lost the fight.
Part of me died that night.
I’m undone.
Out of time.
Here he comes now.”

Death is swallowed up in victory. . . .
