［English］ORCHESTRA OF PHANTOMS

Crack, clatter, clang Run through the coffin lid, fingers crossed Quiet now We're trying to play in time Dead leaves crack and the gravestones ring Pumpkin lanterns mark the winding road Sleepless corpses set the chairs in rows Waiting for their conductor tonight Spider silk upon the violin Blackened roses in the trumpets bloom Whose bones made that enormous drum? Something sounds much better when you never know Make the strings cry: (creak, creak, creak) Make the bells ring: (clang, clang, clang) Beat upon the coffins: (boom, boom, boom) Tonight the dead will rise and dance! Play on, play on, orchestra of phantoms Shake the hidden side of the moon Sing on, sing on, all you voiceless creatures Claw away up from beneath the ground Halloween! Raise the dead! Clear the road for anyone who runs Here begins the banquet of the dead Naughty children keeping all their sweets Leave a single shadow at our feet Something calls beyond the cemetery Do not answer it, or you may bring it home with you Crack, clatter, clang Crack, clatter, clang I can hear four sets of footsteps There are only four of us Then tell me who is walking With the fifth pair close behind? Could I join your little band tonight? Whether you are among the living Whether you belong to the dead Before the music, it matters very little If a single heart can tremble with us Then come and take your place upon the stage Play on, play on, louder play on Smash even the silence into shards Play on, play on, orchestra of phantoms Shake the very bones of the stars Dance on, dance on, all you nameless creatures Till we seal the doorway of the dawn Once you have forgotten how to fear I know, leave the band I am not the only one who holds the baton All of us! Crack, clatter, clang Crack, clatter, clang Next year, I'll keep a seat for you I'm already sitting in it
