Dance Of Death Songtext / Lyric

Let me tell you a story to chill the bones about 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 form grace

then they sommoned me over to join in with them to the dance of the death into the circle of fire I followed them in to the middle I was led

as if time had sopped still I was numb with fear but still I wanted to go
and the blaze of the fire did not hurt upon me as I walked on to the coals

then 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 the mall had death in their eyes
lifless figures they were undead all of themthey 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 I didn't know if 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 thinh that I did not dare was to loock 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 do 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 do 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 danced with the dead
