Dance Of Death |

Let me tell you a story to chill the bones |
|
'bout a thing that I saw |
|
One night wandering in the everglades |
|
I'd one drink but no more |
|
I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight |
|
Gazing up at the stars |
|
Not aware of a presence so near to me |
|
Watching my every move |
|
Feeling scared and I fell to my knees |
|
As something rushed me from the trees |
|
Took me to an unholy place |
|
And that is where I fell from grace |
|
Then they summoned me over to join in with them |
|
To the dance of the dead |
|
In to the circle of fire I followed them |
|
In to the middle I was led |
|
As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear |
|
But still I wanted to go |
|
And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me |
|
As I walked onto the coals |
|
And I felt I was in a trance |
|
And my spirit was lifted from me |
|
And if only someone had the chance |
|
To witness what happened to me |
|
And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them |
|
All had death in their eyes |
|
Lifeless figures they were undead all of them |
|
They had ascended from hell |
|
As I danced with the dead |
|
my free spirit was laughing and howling down at me |
|
Below my undead body just danced the circle of dead |
|
Until the time came to reunite us both |
|
My spirit came back down to me |
|
I didn't know if I was alive or dead |
|
As the others, all joined in with me |
|
By luck then a skirmish started |
|
And took the attention away from me |
|
When they took their gaze from me |
|
Was the moment that I fled |
|
I ran like hell faster than the wind |
|
But behind I did not glance |
|
One thing that I did not dare |
|
Was to look just straight ahead |
|
When you know that your time has come around |
|
You know you'll be prepared for it |
|
Say your last goodbyes to everyone |
|
Drink and say a prayer for it |
|
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed |
|
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead |
|
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed |
|
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead |
|
To this day I guess I'll never know |
|
Just why they let me go |
|
But I'll never go dancing no more |
|
'Til I dance with the dead |
