[Verse] The lantern danced with the devil Singing liebestod forever. What a pair they were Whirling and twirling in their ghastly delight [Chorus] Liebestod! Liebestod! Forever! [Verse] The devil was in the details of the dance The lantern was in the beauty Round and round they went chanting their haunting song While the lights cast an eery glow on the floor Where their feet never seemed to touch But in the end the dance must end This ode to liebestod [Chorus] Liebestod! Liebestod! Forever! [Verse] Even the dance has to unite with the one it loves And then they will spin the night away In that waltz of life and death Life and death are lovers Who as they dance, Can never touch the floor And they cry liebestod forever! [Chorus] Liebestod! Liebestod! Forever!
