dance of death



edited by af



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
