1
Let me tell you a story to chill the bones
2
about a things that I saw
3
One night wandering in the everglades
4
I'd one drink but no more
5
I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight
6
Gazing up at the stars
7
Not aware of a presence so near to me
8
Watching my every move
9
Feeling scared and I fell to my knees
10
As something rushed me from the trees
11
Took me to an unholy place
12
And that is where I fell from grace
13
Then they summoned me over to join in with them
14
To the dance of the dead
15
In to the circle of fire I followed them
16
In to the middle I was led
17
As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear
18
But still I wanted to go
19
And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me
20
As I walked onto the coals
21
And I felt I was in a trance
22
And my spirit was lifted from me
23
And if only someone had the chance
24
To witness what happened to me
25
And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them
26
All had death in their eyes
27
Lifeless figures they were undead all of them
28
They had ascended from hell
29
As I danced with the dead
30
my free spirit was laughing and howling down at me
31
Below my undead body just danced the circle of dead
32
Until the time came to reunite us both
33
My spirit came back down to me
34
I didn't know if I was alive or dead
35
As the others all joined in with me
36
By luck then a skirmish started
37
And took the attention away from me
38
When they took their gaze from me
39
Was the moment that I fled
40
I ran like hell faster than the wind
41
But behind I did not glance
42
One thing that I did not dare
43
Was to look just straight ahead
44
When you know that your time has come around
45
You know you'll be prepared for it
46
Say your last goodbyes to everyone
47
Drink and say a prayer for it
48
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
49
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
50
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
51
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
52
To this day I guess I'll never know
53
Just why they let me go
54
But I'll never go dancing no more
55
'Til I dance with the dead
