Dance of the Seven Veils

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Though it was a very small cafe It held an overflowing sea of faces Painted by the shadows from the candlelight Everyone was waiting silently And all of them were there for just one reason She was said to be a goddess of the night [Pre-Chorus 1] Suddenly, the tiny stage was lit with gold Then this other girl was even more Than they've been told [Chorus] Ceremony of desire The dance of the seven veils Sets the goldest hearts on fire The dance of the seven veils [Verse 2] She knew he would be in that cafe He huddled at the darkest corner table Vowing he would take her far away from this As she turned her yearning eyes to him She shimmied to the sound of finger symbols Like a dream, that one day would be only his [Pre-Chorus 2] Every other voice was crying out for more Then she let another cloud of silk flow to the floor [Chorus] Ceremony of desire The dance of the seven veils Sets the goldest hearts on fire The dance of the seven veils [Chorus] Ceremony of desire The dance of the seven veils Sets the goldest hearts on fire The dance of the seven veils Ceremony of desire The dance of the seven veils Sets the goldest hearts on fire The dance of the seven veils Ceremony of desire The dance of the seven veils Sets the goldest hearts on fire The dance of the seven veils [Outro] She knew he would be in that cafe And the last veil of silk fell to the floor...
