Lenore… he’s come… for you… I slept in silence, cold and deep No dawn, no pulse, no soul to keep You came back pale – your voice was low But what you are, I’ll never know Your hand is cold, your heart is stone You call it love – I walk alone Shadows bloom where vows decay You pull me close, I fade away DANCE WITH THE DEAD! DANCE WITH THE DEAD! Love turns to ash – this is our debt DANCE WITH THE DEAD! DANCE WITH THE DEAD! Ride through the night – no dawn ahead DA-A-A-ANCE WITH THE DEAD! (dead!) Your horse is black, your smile long gone You whispered, “Soon, the road is short” The bells now toll, the stars withdraw And every breath becomes a scar The wind turns pale, my blood runs dry You lead the way – but so do I Through smoke and rain the dead arise Your kiss is cold – the final prize DANCE WITH THE DEAD! DANCE WITH THE DEAD! Love turns to ash – this is our debt DANCE WITH THE DEAD! DANCE WITH THE DEAD! Ride through the night – no dawn ahead DA-A-A-ANCE WITH THE DEAD! (dead!) They ride… they ride… through grave and flame… You spoke his name… now you became… THE DEAD RIDE FA-A-A-AST! DANCE WITH THE DEAD! DANCE WITH THE DEAD! Love turns to ash – this is our debt DANCE WITH THE DEAD! DANCE WITH THE DEAD! Ride through the night – no dawn ahead Lenore… we fade… in time… Dance… dance… dance… with the dead…
