[length: 08:36]
[00:30.45]Let me tell you a story to chill the bones
[00:35.49]Out of things that I saw
[00:40.13]One night wandering in the everglades
[00:45.07]I’d one drink but no more
[00:49.86]I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight
[00:54.55]Gazing up at the stars
[00:59.53]Not aware of a presence so near to me
[01:04.15]Watching my every move
[01:09.04]Feeling scared and I fell to my knees
[01:13.00]As something rushed me from the trees
[01:18.26]Took me to an unholy place
[01:22.27]And that is where I fell from grace
[01:27.61]Then they summoned me over to join in with them
[01:32.68]To the dance of the dead
[01:36.75]Into the circle of fire I followed them
[01:41.21]Into the middle I was led
[01:45.21]
[01:50.73]As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear
[01:55.81]But still I wanted to go
[02:02.37]And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me
[02:08.19]As I walked onto the coals
[02:14.19]And I felt I was in a trance
[02:18.59]And my spirit was lifted from me
[02:25.22]And if only someone had the chance
[02:29.83]To witness what happened to me
[02:33.88]
[02:36.19]And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them
[02:40.85]All had death in their eyes
[02:46.64]Lifeless figures, they were undead all of them
[02:51.40]They had ascended from hell
[03:02.40]
[03:30.89]As I danced with the dead
[03:33.12]My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me
[03:38.68]Below my undead body just danced the circle of dead
[03:46.15]Until the time came to reunite us both
[03:49.62]My spirit came back down to me
[03:53.91]I didn’t know if I was alive or dead
[03:57.32]As the others all joined in with me
[04:01.98]
[04:16.99]By luck then a skirmish started
[04:18.58]And took the attention away from me
[04:20.75]When they took their gaze from me
[04:22.34]Was the moment that I fled
[04:24.42]I ran like hell faster than the wind
[04:26.55]But behind I did not glance
[04:28.30]One thing that I did not dare
[04:30.08]Was to look just straight ahead
[04:33.20]
[06:14.06]When you know that your time has come around
[06:17.18]You know you’ll be prepared for it
[06:21.04]Say your last goodbyes to everyone
[06:24.28]Drink and say a prayer for it
[06:29.34]
[07:12.02]When you’re lying in your sleep, when you’re lying in your bed
[07:13.85]And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
[07:15.66]When you’re lying in your sleep, when you’re lying in your bed
[07:17.41]And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
[07:21.41]
[08:05.85]To this day I guess I’ll never know
[08:10.65]Just why they let me go
[08:15.63]But I’ll never go dancing no more
[08:20.68]’Til I dance with the dead
