[00:15.00]Dance Of Death [00:23.04]Edited By AF [00:31.09]Let me tell you a story to chill the bones [00:36.64]'bout a thing that I saw [00:41.57]One night wandering in the everglades [00:46.36]I'd one drink but no more [00:50.99]I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight [00:55.96]Gazing up at the stars [01:00.99]Not aware of a presence so near to me [01:04.65]Watching my every move [01:09.46]Feeling scared and I fell to my knees [01:14.48]As something rushed me from the trees [01:18.71]Took me to an unholy place [01:23.67]And that is where I fell from grace [01:29.12]Then they summoned me over to join in with them [01:33.21]To the dance of the dead [01:37.33]In to the circle of fire I followed them [01:41.71]In to the middle I was led [01:52.02]As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear [01:56.15]But still I wanted to go [02:02.77]And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me [02:09.42]As I walked onto the coals [02:15.49]And I felt I was in a trance [02:18.81]And my spirit was lifted from me [02:26.56]And if only someone had the chance [02:30.07]To witness what happened to me [02:36.53]And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them [02:41.28]All had death in their eyes [02:47.52]Lifeless figures they were undead all of them [02:51.84]They had ascended from hell [03:31.39]As I danced with the dead [03:33.48]my free spirit was laughing and howling down at me [03:38.86]Below my undead body just danced the circle of dead [03:46.43]Until the time came to reunite us both [03:50.23]My spirit came back down to me [03:55.02]I didn't know if I was alive or dead [03:57.80]As the others, all joined in with me [04:18.07]By luck then a skirmish started [04:18.66]And took the attention away from me [04:21.83]When they took their gaze from me [04:22.76]Was the moment that I fled [04:25.67]I ran like hell faster than the wind [04:26.92]But behind I did not glance [04:29.72]One thing that I did not dare [04:31.01]Was to look just straight ahead [06:15.42]When you know that your time has come around [06:17.31]You know you'll be prepared for it [06:22.11]Say your last goodbyes to everyone [06:25.74]Drink and say a prayer for it [07:12.21]When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed [07:13.82]And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead [07:15.99]When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed [07:17.55]And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead [08:06.96]To this day I guess I'll never know [08:11.76]Just why they let me go [08:16.89]But I'll never go dancing no more [08:21.54]'Til I dance with the dead
