Let me tell you a story to chill the bones
Iron About things that I saw
One night wandering in the everglades.
Maiden I'd one drink but no more

I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight.
Dance Gazing up at the stars
Not aware of a presence so near to me.
Of Watching my every move

Feeling scared and I fell to my knees.
Death As something rushed me from the trees
Took me to an unholy place.
Songtexte And that is where I fell from grace

Then they summoned me over to join in with them.
Songtext To the dance of the dead
In to the circle of fire I followed them.
Lyrics In to the middle I was led

As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear.
Lyric But still I wanted to go
And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me.
Liedertexte As I walked onto the coals

And I felt I was in a trance.
Liedertext And my spirit was lifted from me
And if only someone had the chance.
Alle To witness what happened to me

And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them.
Iron All had death in their eyes
Lifeless figures they were undead all of them.
Maiden They had ascended from hell

As I danced with the dead my free spirit
Dance Was laughing and howling down at me
Below my undead body
Of Just danced the circle of dead

Until the time came to reunite us both.
Death My spirit came back down to me
I didn't know if I was alive or dead.
Songtexte As the others all joined in with me

By luck then a skirmish started.
Songtext And took the attention away from me
When they took their gaze from me.
Lyrics Was the moment that I fled

I ran like hell faster than the wind.
Lyric But behind I did not glance
One thing that I did not dare.
Liedertexte Was to look just straight ahead

When you know that your time has come around.
Liedertext You know you'll be prepared for it.
Say your last goodbyes to everyone.
Alle Drink and say a prayer for it

When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
Iron And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
Maiden When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
Dance And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
Of
To this day I guess I'll never know.
Just why they let me go
Death But I'll never go dancing no more.
'Til I dance with the dead.
